No Lost Experience, Rachel Blake é uma mulher de 25 anos que está investigando a Fundação Hanso, efetivamente liderando os jogadores através do jogo como a principal protagonista.

Desde a sua infância, ficou claro que Rachel Blake era uma bela e talentosa jovem, e era uma pequena surpresa que ela conseguisse garantir um prestigioso cargo nas Corporação Widmore quando mal havia saido de sua adolescência. Entretanto, após a morte de sua mãe, Rachel desejava saber como sua mãe solteira conseguiu pagar-lhe uma educação de primeira linha e então resolveu olhar suas finanças. Ela descobriu que sua educação havia sido pago por um misterioso fundo fiduciário, o dinheiro havia sido doado pela Fundação Hanso, uma empresa de pesquisa científica instalada na Dinamarca. Intrigada por este fato, Blake largou seu emprego (recebendo uma razoável indenização trabalhista) e começou a investigar a corporação, consequentemente percebendo que eles estavam envolvidos em diversos tipos de corrupção. Com essa nova determinação, Rachel decide continuar sua investigação à companhia viajando até sua sede em Copenhagen, ao mesmo tempo em que ela expunha-os verdadeiramente para o mundo.

Sob o apelido de "Persephone", a hacker Rachel sabotou o website da Fundação Hanso, expondo a verdade sobre suas operações comerciais. Ela então progrediu com a publicação de blogs e vídeos de suas investigações, culminando na publicação de um vídeo que "romperia a Fundação".

Em seu último vídeo, foi confirmado que Rachel era filha de Alvar Hanso, explicando o porquê sua companhia financiou sua educação. Isto também foi revelado após o Lost Experience, onde a mãe de Rachel também trabalhou na Fundação Hanso [1].

Uma recapitulação foi postada no blog da Rachel após o término do Lost Experience.

Arriving in Copenhagen, under the pretense of traveling, Rachel began to further her Hanso investigations. After making a number of hacks on the Hanso Foundation website about her discoveries into the disappearance of Alvar Hanso and other Foundation executives, she began to publish her blogs and video clips about her findings. During this time, Rachel learnt that Hanso executive Thomas Mittelwerk was researching islands for some purpose, as well as a specially designed ship. To gain this information, Rachel had to take a number of risks, including directly confronting Mittelwerk himself, and narrowly escaping a run-in with one of Mittelwerk’s cronies.

Blakeiceland1

Her research took her to Iceland, where Mittelwerk had headed following a fire at the Hanso funded “Instituto Vik”. Here, Rachel learned about the Equação de Valenzetti, which was being secretly analyzed in the institute by mathematicians and savants. Rachel came to the conclusion that Enzo Valenzetti, the creator of the equation, could have faked his own death in a plane accident, and may be alive in well in hiding. On a tip-off from one of her contacts, “GidgetGirl”, Rachel moved on to Italy, finding once again the presence of Hanso executives. Along with seeing a strange boat called the “Helgus Antonius” loading Hanso Foundation cargo at a nearby harbor, Rachel received a mysterious phone call from “GidgetGirl”, instructing Miss Blake to go to Paris, France immediately.

Helgus

When she arrived in Paris, Rachel went to the meeting place, but GidgetGirl never appeared. Rachel later learned that GidgetGirl was actually Darla Taft, the mistress of Hanso executive Hugh McIntyre, and that both had died in a suspicious acidente de carro. Whilst still reeling from this development, Rachel was attacked in her hotel room, with gunfire shooting from outside. She was rescued by an unlikely ally, the subordinate of Thomas Mittelwerk known as Malik who Rachel had previously encountered in Copenhagen. Taking her to safety, he tells her of a flat in St Germain de Pres that was owned by Hugh and Darla, and gives her a key. When she got there, Rachel found a video of Darla’s last words, telling her about a package. Inside this, Rachel found folders on the “PROTOCOLO ARANHA”, as well as discovering designs for the “Helgus Antonius” ship which outlined a hospital boat with “quarentena” wards. Finally, Rachel found a fake ID and a plane ticket to Sri Lanka, and she hastily booked her flight.

In an appearance that blurred the quarta parede of the series, she appeared at the LOST panel at 2006 Comic Con in San Diego and slammed writers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse for allowing Fundação Hanso "to prove themselves as this great philanthropic organization" by buying their way into the show's plot with advertising dollars. Near the end of her irate speech, she instructs all who want the truth to go to www.hansoexposed.com. This panel was later also rebroadcast as part of the Podcast Oficial de LOST.

HansoExposed.com then became the latest part of the adventure, with individual fragments of a video of Rachel's time in Sri Lanka locked, needing clues that are themselves hidden all over the Internet. Rachel's justification for this is that the video is so explosive it "will tear Fundação Hanso apart...". The video (dubbed the Vídeo Sri Lanka) showed Alvar Hanso, discussing the Equação de Valenzetti and Os Números. Mittelwerk could then be seen lecturing Fundação Hanso workers, whilst Rachel secretly filmed in the background. It seems that the Hanso Foundation is desperately trying to solve Valenzetti's equation, but all they end with after running it is six Números (4, 8, 15, 16, 23, and 42). Mittelwerk himself says that they have been plagued by these numbers, and so radical action must be taken. He tells his team about villages in Sri Lanka, where they have seemingly introduced a genetically targeted retro-virus. For some reason, they are attempting to achieve a 30% mortality rate in the victims, and require the bodies of the dead for examination. In the final moments of the video, Rachel is spotted by Mittelwerk and attempts to escape. Although we did not know how at first, Rachel managed to escape Sri Lanka and most likely returned to the United States, as she appeared at Comic Con.

Whereisalvar

Next, Rachel set up whereisalvar.com, where those who find Barras de Chocolate Apollo can upload their pictures. This is done to show the Hanso Foundation "the army that's united to oppose their crimes". Rachel has promised that when enough of her followers have uploaded their faces, she will reveal further instructions. She ends her message on the site with "you won't want to miss what I have to show you".

After the completion of the Vídeo Sri Lanka, Rachel contacted Malik through the blogs of Speaker, Lost Ninja and Other Girl, in response to his encrypted message during the August 11 DJ Dan Podcast. She explained to Malik how de Zylva, a mutual friend, had rescued her from Mittelwerk's clutches when she was attacked after filming her video. He helped her escape to India, though never came when Rachel waited for him. It is presumed the Hanso Foundation found him first. Malik and Rachel then set up a meeting in New York. However, she quickly left the country after her location was compromised.

When whereisalvar.com showed 100% of bars being found, Rachel issued a message stating that we will learn "the whole truth. About them. About me." She then called for all to tune into the DJ Dan podcast...so we can once and for all "shut it all down!" Appearing on the podcast, Rachel commented how she had been on the run, traveling through eight countries in twelve days trying to escape the Foundation.

Em seu último vídeo no site da ABC, foi confirmado por Alvar Hanso que ele é seu pai. Ele explicou sobre o interesse de Rachel no grupo após ela perceber que eles financiavam suas mensalidades, e como ela acabou descobrindo que eles estavam envolvidos, e decidiu ficar contra eles.

Controvérsias de Persephone

Rachelb2

Rachel in disguise

Initially, "Persephone" was the identity Rachel Blake took on while hacking the Hanso Foundation phone line and website. During her days as "Persephone", Rachel could be heard on the linha telefônica da Hanso with a rallying call to all who heard it. She told the listener not to "believe their lies" and things like "...where is Alvar Hanso? What have they done with him? Who is in charge?" and that we should investigate further to uncover the truth about what is going on with the Foundation. Giving over the password to access the hidden parts of the website, she effectively started the Lost Experience ARG for all players. She then began to leave clues to the game at her thehansofoundation.org subdomain Persephone.thehansofoundation.org, which would point players in the direction of new hacks, videos, or comments.

Much later, the in-game reveal of the Rachel Blake character and website came on June 19 as part of the source code in thehansofoundation.org. Her website http://www.rachelblake.com was revealed featuring blogs about her holiday travels. However, a secret section of the site could be accessed by entering the password evident agenda in the "extra info" box. This takes visitors to Rachel's hidden blog concerning her efforts to expose Fundação Hanso.

Rachel Blake

There was much debate over whether Rachel Blake was in fact the same woman as Persephone, with different authorities saying different things, such as Lost Ninja saying they were the same, but Speaker putting out the devil's advocate that it might not be. New evidence was revealed on June 22nd on the letyourcompassguideyou.com directory site to support the theory, however, where a hidden text transcript of an internet conservation was found in the trash section. User OpenersHep refers to herself as 'Rachel B', and it was noted that OpenersHep is an anagram of Persephone, giving weight to the 'same identity' theory.

Finally, in her third Iceland post, Rachel confirmed that she was in fact Persephone, after weeks of speculation and discussion. She explained that as she had been hacking a Danish website thehansofoundation.org, she could not have revealed her true identity whilst she was residing in Copenhagen.

Vídeos de Rachel Blake

Abaixo uma lista dos vídeos em que Rachel aparece:

Persephone na Mitologia Grega

Prosperine

Prosperine: A Dante Gabriel Rosetti painting of the classical Persephone appeared in a DJ Dan podcast.

Na mitologia clássica, Persephone (Aquela que destrói o som) foi seqüestrada por Hades (ou Plutão, segundo a mitologia romana) para ser a rainha do mundo subterrâneo. Sua história tem uma grande força emocional: uma inocente donzela; um pesar da mãe no seqüestro e no retorno de sua filha. Isto também é citado frequentemente como um paradigma dos mitos que explicam processos naturais, com a descida e o retorno da deusa justificando assim o ciclo anual das colheitas.

As she was gathering flowers with her playmates in a meadow, the earth opened and Pluto, god of the dead, appeared and carried her off to be his queen in the world below. ... Torch in hand, her sorrowing mother sought her through the wide world, and finding her not she forbade the earth to put forth its increase. So all that year not a blade of corn grew on the earth, and men would have died of hunger if Zeus had not persuaded Pluto to let Persephone go. But before he let her go Pluto made her eat the seed of a pomegranate, and thus she could not stay away from him for ever. So it was arranged that she should spend two-thirds (according to later authors, one-half) of every year with her mother and the heavenly gods, and should pass the rest of the year with Pluto beneath the earth. ... As wife of Pluto, she sent specters, ruled the ghosts, and carried into effect the curses of men.

But the Greeks knew another face of Persephone as well. She was also the terrible Queen of the dead, whose name was not safe to speak aloud, who was named simply "The Maiden". Her central myth, for all of its emotional familiarity, was also the back-story of the secret initiatory mystery rites of regeneration at Eleusis, which promised immortality to their awe-struck participants—an immortality in her world beneath the soil, feasting with the heroes beneath her dread gaze.

Persephone, as Queen of Hades, only showed mercy once, because the music of Orpheus was so hauntingly sad. She allowed Orpheus to bring his wife Eurydice back to the land of the living as long as she walked behind him and he never tried to look at her face until they reached the surface. Orpheus agreed but failed, looking back at the very end to make sure his wife was following, and lost Eurydice forever.

Inspired by James Frazer, Jane Ellen Harrison and modern mythologists, some scholars have labeled Persephone a life-death-rebirth deity.

Curiosidades

  • No primeiro vídeo Rachel, há uma lata de Sprite visível ao lado de seu notebook.
  • Rachel dirige um Jeep Compass (como visto em seu segundo vídeo).
  • Esta personagem foi originalmente planejada para se chamar Amy Jenson, que segundo informações foi aparentemente descrita como uma jovem mulher atraente e inteligente, em busca de peças perdidas de seu passado que possa ajudar a encontrar seu parente desconhecido (pai). As informações aparentemente também mencionam que a atriz para interpretar esta mulher teria de estar disponível para aparências pessoais de Julho a Setembro.
  • A atriz Jamie Silberhartz na vida real, também apareceu em um curta-metragem chamado "Sissy Frenchfry", que foi escarnecido pelo DJ Dan, em uma de suas transmissões ao vivo.
  • Entertainment Weekly Entrevista por Jeff Jensen
  • Foi mais tarde revelada por Javier Grillo-Marxuach que a mãe de Rachel "era uma funcionária da Fundação Hanso - a circunstância de sua morte é envolta em segredo, no entanto". Isto explica o texto escondido no site da Fundação Hanso que declarou que ela "era uma funcionária da Fundação". Havia confusão como era imaginado que isto estava em relação à própria Rachel, entretanto ela tinha trabalhado para Widmore, e não Hanso [2].
