Biography

The skit begins with a veterinarian using his stethoscope on a dead hamster. While he is doing this, Rachel gives a speech about how she feels that her animal is in so much pain that she feels the only option is to put them down. The doctor murmurs to himself and walks past her to throw away the dead hamster. He then turns to her and reminds her that she is referring to an adult in an animal costume. She rebuttals by telling him that he's in pain and that it's her decision to put him out of his misery. When the vet asks what he's suffering from, she tells him to look at her son (who is in a cage, chewing on a rubber carrot in a fox costume). He tells her that he reminds her every time she comes in to his clinic that she is referring to her twenty four year old sun Kurt, and he cannot euthanize an adult human male. Kurt corrects him, stating that his name is "Fire Dash". He proceeds to explain that he is a species from another planet while his mother looks down in embarrassment. She begins speaking in the middle of his explanation and tells the vet that he doesn't seem to understand that her son is in pain, referring to him as Fire Dash. She tries to explain that he's been sick for a long time, but she becomes frustrated and shakes the cage because every time she tries to get a word out, she is interrupted by her son's squeaking. The vet again tries to reiterate his point, but Ms. Livingstone approaches his desk with a stack of cash and asks him to refer to her as Rachel. This angers him, now yelling at her while he explains that what she is asking is both a waste of his time and completely unethical. He refers to the man as Kurt so he again explains his identity. During this, the vet tells her that she just wants him euthanized because she doesn't want him to live his life as a magical Fire Fox person. She screams as him and asks him if he would. He tells her that she has responsibilities as a mother, and she pleads that he reconsider. He says no, so she asks him if there's somewhere she could leave him. The vet kneels down to Kurt and tells him that he should stand up to her, but he just reminds him that his name is Fire Dash. He stands up and tells Ms. Livingstone to get out as she pleads him over and over. He has a breakdown and she finally obliges, knocking over the cage and pushing it out of the room. The scene switches to Rachel driving in her car, now having Kurt and his cage inside of a green bag. As he squeaks, she sushes him and tells him that soon he will finally be free. She stops her car at a bridge, gets out of the car, grabs his cage, and drops it into the water. As she does this, he squeaks until his cage hits the water. She watches it sink and the scene ends.

Appearance

She has ginger hair, red lipstick, caucasian skin, a light-blue headband, a white collar, a light-blue shirt, and a dark-blue skirt.

Personality

Rachel's personality revolves around the insanity that she's been driven to due to her son's life choice. In the beginning, she tries to put on an act that made it seem like she truly believed her son was sick. After much rebuttal from the vet, she eventually broke down and revealed she just wanted him dead because he identified as a fox-person. The psychotic personality that she demonstrated in the beginning returned at the end of the skit, shushing her son and telling him that "soon he will be free".
