The Making of the Warrior
How I decided her name :
I decided on the name Rachel Applegate
base on my favorite sci-fi books called 'Animorphs'. One
of the characters was a super-model-can kick a boy's butt-blonde girl that
was named Rachel. So I thought why not make her first
name from 'Animorphs' ?
Now on her last name I was originally going to
name her Rachel Lawless from the actress from 'Xena: Warrior
Princess' but then people would notice it. So again I went back
to 'Animorphs' but this time I put the author's last name
Applegate.
Why the color brown ? :
Well in the shows I have watched like 'Xena
: Warrior Princess' and 'Hercules : The Legendary Journeys'
I have found that guards , minor characters , and even Xena wore
leathery black or brown clothes. Well since Ireul (Angel of Fear)
has the color black I couldn't use it. And I don't want Rachel to be a
loner.
So I thought to use brown , but in the BIRTH
OF ANGELS when Ramiel (Angel of Thunder) made those what colors
means what personality...I kinda got mad.
How did you make your senshi's
attack ? :
Well , actually Ireul helped me with making this
attack. I wanted to do an attack that had to do something with the souls
of warriors.
Example : Like if a warrior was from Ancient
China the element for the soul of the warrior would be fire.
So , now you know.
Why a blonde girl with short hair ? :
Well , I wanted to make Rachel have short hair
because I wanted to make her unique and people would say "I like her
, she's not's a Sweet Valley High girl ! She's a blonde Xena ! " And
she needs short hair for her hobbies .
Have you noticed that Midael and Israfel
are like Moon
and Mars ?
Yes , Israfel and me somehow became the new
Serena/Usagi and Raye/Rei .
