Rachel Rey has dark brown hair, big round blue eyes, defined cheekbones and a curvy build. She is pale, but tans easily. She is a very sassy person, and loves to make sarcastc comments. She can be very manipulative, which is a good skill when needed, but has its downsides. She uses flirtation and her look to persuade people into doing things for her.

She grew up with an abusive father and no siblings. She was not close to her family and ran away from home at the age of 17 to join a street gang. She was bar tending at age 20 when the infections started happening, and she hopped from survivor group to survivor group, manipulating them for her survival. She is physically fit and very smart with tools and building, although many people doubt her because of her dainty figure.
