## Biography

She attends Marshport High School where her younger, high school siblings also go. She is popular at school and is also the head cheerleader. Outside school, Rachel likes to spend most of her time with her friends or boyfriend but she often gets stuck babysitting Daphne or getting dragged into whatever crazy shenanigans her family is up to.

Around her 15th birthday, Rachel sets up a big Quinceanera party that takes 9 months to plan. After turning 16, Rachel doesn't want to get a driver's license so that she can avoid responsibilities. But after Harley's push, she eventually goes for a driving test in Stuck without a Ride and fails. She gets it later and is able to drive around by Stuck with a New Friend when she gets a traffic ticket.

Rachel wins Ms. Marshport title in Stuck in the Harley Car after convincing Daphne to step down because this is Rachel's last chance to compete before going to college.

In Stuck at Christmas - The Movie, Rachel chooses not to spend Christmas time with her family and instead goes to Paris with her friends. While in Paris, she gets a big opportunity to join a college in France. This means she has to leave her family for college earlier than they anticipated. After returning from Paris, she starts acting weird in her effort to make a decision.

In Stuck with Rachel's Secret, Rachel's siblings become suspicious that she is hiding something. After the confrontation, Rachel reveals about her offer to go to a college in Paris. She has to start right away because her favorite fashion designer, Christian LaMond would be teaching an internship this semester. Her siblings are disappointed that she's going to leave them but are proud of her at the same time and don't want to stand in her way. The parents refuse to let her go because she's not responsible; however, Harley and Georgie rally the other kids to help complete Rachel's tasks and prove that she is responsible to her parents. Rachel is escorted to the airport by her family in a bitter-sweet moment. She leaves a hole in the Diaz family that no one else can fill.

In "Stuck Wrestling Feelings," Rachel makes dresses in her design class and sends them to Suzy and Georgie two days before her birthday. To give Rachel a last minute birthday gift, Georgie and Suzy work together to be featured in a TV segment promoting Rachel's dress. Unfortunately, they get smoothied in a hilarious accident and the dress is ruined. Luckily, Rachel gets a video of the incident and posts it online. It goes viral, which in turn helps promote Rachel's designs.

In "Stuck in Harley's Quinceañera", Rachel convinces her internship boss to design a dress for Harley's quinceañera. She sends the dress but tells her family that she can't get permission to come home. However, she manages to convince her boss to let her come for Harley's quinceañera as a surprise for Harley. She arrives home and finds the quinceañera falling apart. She takes control and assigns everyone tasks to quickly get things back on track. In less than an hour, Rachel manages to fix everything, leading to an amazing quinceañera for Harley.
