I also think Rachel isn't irregular.
Btw, guardians are not dead. It was never said they died specifically. I think they were just shut down somehow. So I kinda hope that at the end of FOD Bam revives guardian somehow. If god is really in Bam, that would be the best way to prove he's special and the best ending to FOD.
Except he's not backing up that claim whatsoever in any way. So until he starts making her show signs of a proper Irregular it's not confirmed to be anything more than being in title only. She lacks the ability to make her a full blown irregular. This is fact from everything we have been shown so far by SIU
Uh yeah..of course she lacks the ability of a full blown irregular, we already know the difference between her and the other. I don't know why people keep bringing this up...it's been established since Season 1's finale, she went through the door Baam opened (we know this because Headon said she wasn't chosen, that Baam was chosen, and the fact that he was pushing on the "door" beneath her the moment she and him entered) and made some sort of deal with Headon. It's reasonable to assume the other irregulars opened it themselves. People misunderstand what being an irregular means..remember she was in the cave with Baam in the beginning..where is she now? The tower, hence, she's an irregular! It doesn't matter how strong or weak she is. The fact that she's weak is the whole point, she's even weaker than a Regular would be because she's neither a chosen regular nor a "chosen" irregular.

She might become stronger later, especially with the Thorn, who knows, anything goes. But whether or not she's stronger than Enryu or weaker than Parakewl, she will always be an irregular. Come on, the fact that she's (below) average has been the whole point of her character arc since pretty much ever by now.
She's not in the tower chapter 1 - http://www.webtoons.com/en/fantasy/tower-of-god/season-1-ep-1-1fheadons-floor/viewer?title_no=95&episode_no=2
She's inside the tower chapter 309 - http://www.webtoons.com/en/fantasy/tower-of-god/season-2-ep-229/viewer?title_no=95&episode_no=310
She's an irregular, a uniquely weak irregular, that hasn't opened the door like the rest (although some people speculate that the 10 warriors entered through a door *Zahard* opened just like Rachel, but considering the gap between Rachel and the Ten Great Families I highly doubt it), that's weaker than most *regulars*, but an irregular. Judging from everything we know now, hypothetically speaking she could use shinshoo without a contract, or wield a thorn, having the requirements to do something and having the *capabilities* are two different things.
It's been totally confirmed by now, you're right, she's NOT a proper irregular, but proper or not, still an irregular.
