==Biography==
In 2005, Rachel and her partner Raymond Vester were sent to the Queen Zenobia and split-up to search different parts of the ship. While Rachel headed to the back of the ship, Raymond went to investigate the front, she succeeded in acquiring the key to the freight lift. While looking around Rachel discovered slime in the vents before being ambushed by an Ooze; she shot the creature several times but did little to injure it, Rachel flees roughly missing Jill who just entered the room. The creature followed her through air vents and Rachel ran into a hallway with more Ooze. She shot again, but runs out of ammo, she threw her gun on the ground. Rachel managed to get away and reach the elevator where she was ambushed by another Ooze which cut her leg. She barely escapes death again as the elevator doors opened, allowing her to escape and lock herself in the research room. Thinking she's safe, Rachel tries to rest for a bit, however unfortunately the research room was where she met her end. Surrounded by multiple Oozes who ambushes her, Rachel was choked as an Ooze fed on her bodily fluids and infected her with t-Abyss, and throws her at a window, her body bloodied and brutally near-death. During this time Jill was looking for the Crew Quarters key and arrived just in time to witness the moment when Rachel hit the window and lost consciousness.
Rachel's intentions on board the Queen Zenobia were seemingly to investigate and transfer the ship for disposal, unknowingly to destroy any evidence on board that might incriminate Morgan. Later on, when the player obtained her journal, it becomes known that Rachel actually did not want to go on the mission and had a very grim and pessimistic view on her survival chances, an idea that unfortunately became very true. After Jill leaves Raymond to go find Rachel again, Jill discovers that Rachel is gone but in her journal it reveals that she was still alive and was slowly turning into an Ooze. Rachel then appears pressing against the glass as an Ooze and says to Jill "Found... you..." Jill and Parker fight Ooze Rachel a few times throughout Queen Zenobia but she doesn't die until the ship is destroyed.
==Personality==
Rachel is a rather optimistic character in an otherwise bleak world, She appears to be quite bubbly and supportive, however in her story mode she can still be serious over the mission, she can be scared quite easily by the Oozes that attacked her. She's very immodest about her appearance wearing her outfit zipped down further adding to her bubbly persona and showing off her body. While Rachel can be optimistic, she isn't hopeful about the mission even having a pessimistic view on her survival chances which eerily became real. During the non-canonical Raid-Mode Rachel is shown to get along well with whomever she's partnered with helping and assisting her partner if needed. She seems to be a big fan of Hunk since she greets him honorably by saying "It's a pleasure working with you, Dr. Death".
==Appearance==
Rachel is a young woman with blonde hair; with some of her hair covering most of her eyes, she has a healthy fair but slightly tanned skin complexion. Her attire consists of an FBC tactical wetsuit with a red FBC Spray which she has attached on the back of her outfit while wearing a harness around her chest. She prefers to have her outfit zipped down around her waist revealing her large cleavage, she wears a thigh-holster for her gun.
==Trivia==
* In the Revelations 2 Concept Trailer, a woman resembling Rachel can be seen in the back.
* While the official Japanese website spells her name as "Rachel", other publications use "Rachael".
* The Revelations 2 character Gina Foley has the same surname as Rachel, although any relation between the two is not confirmed.
* Rachel does not appear in the "early" demo version of The Mercenaries 3D, but appears a generic male named Richard, who later was replaced by Rachel in the final version.
* Rachel seems to have been possibly playable in pre-release versions of the game on 3DS. In "Jessica's Report", Rachel can be seen swimming and being attacked by a Sea Creeper, as well as being cut in half by the Scagdead.
* If partnered with HUNK in Raid Mode, Rachel's quote "Pleased to work with you, Dr. Death" suggests that she knows him or knows of him, though this may not be the case since Raid Mode is not canon.
* Since she was still capable of speaking some logical expressions, like her "found you" line, and crying when defeated, as well as being so much stronger than the others infected by the T-Abyss virus, barring Norman, as well as surviving death several times, which even Norman did not, it's possible that she could be considered one of the rare humans who adapt well to the Progenitor virus which was in the T-virus mixed with Abyss, if the Abyss part of the virus had not been there, it's possible she would've become a superhuman like Wesker rather than mutate.
* Before the game's release, Rachel received her own trailer, which showed scenes never shown in the released game, where she is seen speaking to someone - presumed to be Raymond Vester - on the radio where she is ambushed by Oozes, eventually running out of ammo and getting killed upon Jill's arrival. Another extended version was released later on, which showed even more scenes with Vester dressed as a Veltro terrorist infecting the researchers on the ship.
* It is unknown how long Rachel survived her "last moments", as when Jill found her she was thought dead. However, as you progress through the game, you'll find out Rachel wrote down her final moments (as seen at the top), thus surviving after Jill left. She alludes to her transformation into an Ooze as she mentions her arm becoming deformed and complains about her head hurting and losing an eye, either due to her hitting the glass or the fact that her head literally splits open in her Ooze form.
