This Family often protects each other no matter what cause, they are also very unhinged
Rachel Ferrier is the daughter of Ray Ferrier. She is a witness to the invaders' attempt to take over the planet Earth. She was one of the survivors of the attack. Rachel seems to want to do things for herself as shown when she had a hard time carrying a suitcase but her mother Mary Ann assisted her. As a result, Rachel persisted to carry it. It is shown that she gets panicked in situations and tends to scream. It is revealed that she has been allergic to peanut butter since birth. In one part of the movie, as Ray and Rachel were sleeping on the couch, she sat up and was being watched by the tripod's camara probe. She ran out of the house and was later captured by a tripod, followed by her father, Ray. At the end of the movie, Rachel and Ray return to Boston. Rachel runs toward her mother, screaming her name and sobbing with her.

Intro
*Ray collects his children and commandeers the van Manny has repaired; he attempts to persuade Manny to join them but is forced to leave him behind when the tripod attacks, resulting in Manny's death. Ray drives his children to Mary Ann's empty suburban New Jersey home to take refuge. Later, a Boeing 747 crashes into the neighborhood. Ray meets a wandering television news team scavenging the wreckage for food, upon which a correspondent reveals that many tripods have attacked major cities around the world and that they have force shields that protect them from humanity's defenses. She adds that the tripods' pilots traveled to Earth within the lightning storms to enter their machines, presumed to have been buried underground long ago.
Ray transports his children to Boston to be with their mother, but a desperate mob swarms their vehicle, forcing them to abandon it. They eventually get on a ferry crossing over the Hudson River before tripods attack the refugees. A tripod emerges from the water and capsizes the ferry, forcing Ray and his children to swim to shore while the tripods abduct several refugees. They then witness a US military counter-offensive against the tripods. To Ray's dismay, Robbie joins the futile fight out of hatred for the invaders, leaving Ray and Rachel to flee. The military forces are obliterated, with Robbie presumed dead along with them. Shortly afterward, the pair are offered shelter in a nearby house by a former ambulance driver, Harlan Ogilvy.
The three remain undetected for several hours, even as a tripod's probe and a group of aliens explore the basement. Tensions soon arise between Harlan and Ray, with Harlan insistent on fighting and killing the aliens, having heard that the Japanese military was successful in doing so in Osaka, while Ray prefers hiding with Rachel to avoid being spotted and killed by the aliens. They soon discover that the aliens have started cultivating a red-colored vegetation across the field*
Example 1
