Personal Description
Rachel never intended to become the leader of her people, but now that she has found herself in this position, she’s trying her best to carry that weight as best she can. She doesn’t get much sleep these days but puts on a good face when in public. She's friendly enough, but always a bit tired and harrassed; she tries very hard to keep her people unified, with mixed results. She wasn’t born a Thameswoman (very few adult Thamesfolk were) but is more or less comfortable in her skin having had enough time to adjust to her new more amphibious reality. Good friends with Robert Clarkson, but that friendship is being strained by his increasing opposition to her policies.

History
Originally a trader from Birmingham, Rachel Hall first came south to London on a trade mission as a young woman. She was stranded in London after falling into the Thames and becoming a Thameswoman. Following the Jack Tar massacre, in which she lost her husband, Hall became the leader of her people. She is still mourning her husband, and though she hasn't had much time to grieve she is nonetheless keeping things together and handling it as well as one can in these situations.
