I dont think Rachel will fall for Octavian. I dont mean just because of his personality but because the oracle must be a maiden, as in she has to give up any romantic relationship with any man if she wants to keep the oracle, and if Rachel falls for octavian she would have to give up the spirit of the oracle also, i think she realizes the responsability of the oracle. Thats why she denied any romantic relationship with Percy even though it was clear that she really liked him.
