Same Rachel. I think her coming across as younger has to do with the
dynamic being created by her "evil stepmother" adversarial
relationship with Emma Frost. It makes her come off as less mature
than the Rachel we are traditionally used to circa Excalibur. She is
also firmly in her Father's orbit for the first time since he
discovered her identity which should affect her character as well.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
