HISTORY:
Rachel was born with everything handed to her on a silver platter. Everything she could ever need or want was provided to her by her fathers. She was raised to appreciate the arts..especially theater. Since she was old enough to have her first thought, she knew she wanted to see her name in lights one day. That's why every waking moment of her life was devoted to becoming a star. Of course she had to get the grades to match, otherwise she wouldn't go to a good school, and therefore wouldn't amount to anything. So throughout her entire scholastic career, she joined every club possible and did every extra curricular activity she could handle. She made sure to get her face on every single page of the year book. After all, she wanted to get noticed.
Luckily for her, she was able to join the school's Glee club once Will Schuster established it. She along with only a couple of rag tag students made up the group that was soon called the New Directions. It was only a matter of time before Will had recruited others to the glee club, including Finn Hudson - the man that Rachel had fallen in love with since day one. Although everyone had their ups and downs, they held on.. no matter how much had been against them, they stuck through it. Through the years, Rachel had started dating Finn, only to be dumped..and then she began dating Jesse St James who was part of Vocal adrenaline, a rival school's glee club.This started out as a set up by her mother, who was the director of VA. Shelby needed a way to get close to Rachel, and used Jesse to do it.
Rachel and her mother, once she met her, couldn't quite bond in the way that either one of them had hoped, but Shelby did however decide to adopt the baby of one of Rachel's peers who had gotten pregnant and couldn't keep the baby. Once Rachel and Jesse broke up, she knew she was destined to love Finn, and their love lasted until Rachel had the opportunity to go to NYADA and nearly stayed in Lima to be with Finn. He tricked her in to going to the train station where she was sent off to New York City to live her dream.
She went through more trials and tribulations, including dating a giggalo for a brief time, and also having her first love passing away. When Finn died, it nearly broke Rachel, but she still managed to get the role of Fanny in Funny Girl in a Broadway production. While all of this was taking place, she was living with her friend and New Directions alum Kurt Hummel - also Finn's step brother. He helped encourage her to continue on with her career.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned in the long run. Rachel had gotten her very own show titled That's So Rachel, inspired by her actual life.. However, after getting bad reviews, it was cancelled very quickly and Rachel went back home to Lima with her tail tucked between her legs. In order to pick herself back up, she and Kurt - who returned with her - became the new directors of New Directions, even though Sue had it shut down. They resurrected it with...well, slight ease. Will became the leader of Vocal Adrenaline until he realized he didn't belong there, and now, he's helping Rachel and Kurt with the glee club.
