Jekyll could not keep the Society running without the help of his day manager, Rachel Pidgley. Rachel may look as sweet as her famous gingersnap cookies, but her soft exterior hides a hard-as-steel determination forged during her hardscrabble upbringing in London’s East End. While not a scientist herself, she enjoys the company of the eccentric Lodgers and has even managed to befriend Mr. Hyde (she bribed him with chocolate). Highly persistent and loyal to a fault, Rachel would not hesitate to move heaven and earth to help a friend in need . . . even if they never asked for help in the first place.
