Biography
Rachel was born on Grayson in late 1902 PD[2] as the first child of Protector Benjamin IX and his senior wife Katherine.
In 1912 PD, she was adopted by Hipper, one of the Sphinxian treecats who had migrated to Grayson, while her family visited Harrington House. She was the first Grayson child and the second Grayson overall to be adopted. (HH8)
She took Hipper with her to the Protector's Palace and later learned to sign in order to be able to communicate with him directly, as did most of her family. After her sixteenth birthday, she made plans to join the Grayson Space Navy, as her role model, Abigail Hearns, had done before her. Her father was not very comfortable with the idea, but Hipper supported it. (HH9)
In 1920 PD, she entered the Royal Manticoran Naval Academy on Saganami Island. (HH11)
