Rachael Rosen claims she is Eldon Rosen’s niece when she first meets Rick. However, it quickly becomes clear that she is an android, though one that was perhaps modeled after a real human. Rachael is a popular model of android—so popular that she is the mirror image of another android in the novel, Pris Stratton. Rachael alternates between seeming genuinely empathetic (and therefore human) and being wholly manipulative. For instance, she initially seems to be genuinely interested in having sex with Rick—but afterward, she reveals that she manipulated him and has also used sex to manipulate other bounty hunters into sparing her life. Toward the end of the novel, she kills Rick’s new goat, seemingly as an act of revenge, suggesting that the way Rick treated her hurt her.

Chapter 5
Quotes
He could not make out, even now, how the Rosen Association had managed to snare him, and so easily. Experts, he realized. A mammoth corporation like this—it embodies too much experience. It possesses in fact a sort of group mind. And Eldon and Rachael Rosen consisted of spokesmen for that corporate entity. His mistake, evidently, had been in viewing them as individuals. It was a mistake he would not make again.

Quotes
Tonight sometime, he thought as he clicked off the bedside light, I will retire a Nexus-6 which looks exactly like this naked girl. My good god, he thought; I’ve wound up where Phil Resch said. Go to bed with her first, he remembered. Then kill her. “I can’t do it,” he said, and backed away from the bed.
Chapter 17
Quotes
“But you really look down on me,” Rachael said. “For what I did.” Assurance had returned to her; the litany of her voice picked up pace. “You’ve gone the way of the others. The bounty hunters before you. Each time they get furious and talk wildly about killing me, but when the time comes they can’t do it. Just like you, just now.” She lit a cigarette, inhaled with relish. “You realize what this means, don’t you? It means I was right; you won’t be able to retire any more androids; it won’t be just me, it’ll be the Batys and Stratton, too. So go on home to your goat. And get some rest.” Suddenly she brushed at her coat, violently. “Yife! I got a burning ash from my cigarette—there, it’s gone.” She sank back against the seat, relaxing.
