'''[[Rachel Moore]]''' known as {{nihongo|'''Ran Mouri'''|毛利 蘭|''Mōri Ran''}} in Japan, is the 2nd [[protagonist]] of the [[anime]] and [[manga]] ''[[Case Closed]]'', known in Japan as ''Detective Conan'' (名探偵コナン ''Meitantei Konan''). Her Japanese name derives from both [[Edogawa Ranpo|Edogawa '''Ran'''po]] and [[Maurice Leblanc|'''Mauri'''ce Leblanc]] (From ''Mouri''su Rubu''ran'', according to Aoyama).


==Character Information==
Rachel, is a childhood friend of [[Jimmy Kudo]]. She is the daughter of private detective [[Richard Moore (Case Closed)|Richard Moore]] and [[Eva Kadan]], a lawyer. Her parents separated when she was seven<ref>[[Detective Conan: The Fourteenth Target]]</ref>, and one of her biggest goals is to get them back together.

Rachel is the captain of the [[karate]] team of Teitan High School<ref>''Case Closed'' Volume 1 File 1.</ref> and therefore is very powerful as demonstrated when she won her Regional Championship<ref>Ibid.</ref>. However, she gets easily frightened by the idea of ghosts or monsters.
Besides that, she is also very lucky in gambling.

[[Image:Rachel Moore and her father in manga.png‎|left|thumb|200px|Rachel Moore and her father, as they appear in the manga]]After Jimmy's disappearance, she meets [[Conan Edogawa]] along with Professor Agasa, who introduces him as a distant "relative" and asks if she wouldn't mind taking care of him at her house. She and her father practically adopt him, as Richard believes he is a good luck charm for helping him solve cases <ref>''Case Closed'' Volume 1 File 2.</ref>. Rachel immediately comes to think of him as a surrogate little brother, without realizing that Conan is actually Shinichi.

In time, Rachel comes to suspect that Conan is actually Shinichi despite what her common sense would say, but he always manages to trick her and "prove" her wrong. This happens many times, and in one particular instance, she was so sure that her reasoning was correct until Shinichi (temporarily restored to his true age) appears at the same time as Conan (who was really [[Shiho Miyano|Ai Haibara]] in disguise). Still, there seems to be a latent conviction remaining that Conan could indeed be Shinichi; this is hinted at by her increasingly trusting behaviour towards Conan throughout the series. Yet, mostly because of Sonoko's taunting, she also fantasies that Jimmy is with a brown/blond or strawberry blond-haired woman all the time - which is true to some extent, with the appearance of Ai Haibara in the series (though no romantic attraction is lost from Shinichi's side, as she occasionally imagines).Ran is deeply in love with Shinichi and their feelings develop throughout the story.

Her greatest personality trait is that she is genuinely cares for those she loves. She is described as being strong-willed, yet gentle. She also constantly tries to reunite her father and mother again - though with little success, thanks to the mutual stubbornness of both parents. She can be very brave and resourceful when she wants to be, and rescues Conan from trouble with her karate skills on occasion.

It is revealed in book 8 that she can play the piano well. In addition, she appreciates fine art, is very good at cooking and household chores (unlike her mother), and looks after both Conan and her father. Mostly unbeknown to herself, she is also very popular with boys, making Sonoko jealous of her at some point.

In chapters 350&ndash;354 of the manga and episode 286-288 of the anime, it is revealed that she and Shinichi had gone to the United States at some point in the past to visit Shinichi's parents in New York. They meet his mother, and her actress friend, Sharon Vineyard (AKA: [[Vermouth]]). Later that evening, Vermouth disguises as a serial killer to do BO work, and is saved by Rachel and Shinichi who encounter her on their way back from a show. She had slipped and would have fallen to her death, but Rachel caught her arm and Shinichi helped her pull her to safety despite Vermouth's guise of a wanted serial killer that the FBI were apparently pursuing in the area. Due to this, she gives Rachel the nickname "Angel", and Shinichi the nickname "Cool Guy". Later in the anime/manga, Vermouth shows hesitance to kill Rachel and later Conan as well,<ref>''Detective Conan'' episode 345</ref> but whether or not it is because of any emotional attachment is unclear.

==Abilities==
Rachel/Ran is a master in karate and has won many karate tournaments; she holds the title of Regional Champion for her age group. In fact, she is very strong to the extent that she can break a stone with ease. In the ninth movie, ''Strategy Above the Depths'', Conan states that Ran has an unusual amount of stamina.
