However they are not alone in resisting the Yeerk invasion as the brother of the fallen prince soon joins their fight.

Character:

She's the cousin of de-factor leader Jake (played by Shawn Ashmore), and best friends with Cassie (Nadia Nascimento). Rachel has a gung-ho, let's do it, attitude towards life. She's the first to volunteer for action and the last to back away from a fight.
