Rachel Leyton

Rachel (Jessica Brown-Findlay), the head of the 'Virtue' organisation, possesses the storm-based power of suggestion, specifically able to influence others to essentially become 'perfect' teenagers — dressing in conservative clothing and disdaining sex, drugs and alcohol. Her power requires the subject to clearly hear what she is saying, causing their instant transformation when she speaks the words, "You don't need to behave like this; you can be so much better,". It is unclear whether this specific personality change is all that she can do with her power or if she simply uses the phrase based on her desire to make others conform to her rigid moral standards. Nathan uses a water-pistol that looks like a real gun to take her hostage and lead her to the roof of the community centre. He demands that she undo her influence, but she doesn't know if she can, or if she can, how to do so. There he makes a passionate speech about the benefits of individuality and the freedom of youth. She realises that he is only armed with a water-pistol, but falls from the roof in the subsequent scuffle, her death ending her influence over the other teenagers.
