and lost contact with his eldest daughter Carrie
. Somewhen during Rachel's early life, Ralph abandoned his second family, never to be seen again. Barbara, who suffered from schizophrenia
, lost her sanity was taken to a psychiatric hospital. It was then that Rachel first showed her powers of telekinesis, slamming and opening windows and doors. Rachel and Carrie both inherited their abilities from their father.
As a teenager, Rachel was living with a foster family. Her only friend, Lisa, had committed suicide when she was humiliated by a jock named Eric Stark, when he seduced her and rated her on the sex. Rachel's powers came back when she made all the lockers in her school open in an instant. Sue Snell
, a survivor of the prom incident with Carrie, recognizes this and tries to help her.
Rachel falls in love with a jock, Jesse Ryan, and later they have sex, which is unknowingly filmed and rated by some of Jesse's jock friends. While she is sleeping, Jesse tells her he loves her. Rachel gets invited to a football after-party with some jocks and their girlfriends, where the tape of her and Jesse is shown. Humiliated, she tries to leave, but is grabbed and her tattoo (a heart with thorny vines wrapped around it that she shared with Lisa) starts spreading thorny vines all over her body.
Rachel uses her ability to get revenge, just as Carrie had years before. First, she shatters the glass doors, impaling and decapitating some of the partygoers. Then she drenches the house with alcohol and sets it alight, causing a massive fire. While stalking them through the mansion, she is approached by two of the football jocks, Eric and Mark and Monica, one of their girlfriends, who try to kill her, but she kills them instead. Her mother arrived and at first saw Rachel as she was when she was a little girl, but when she saw her as she was, with the thorny vines on her body, she told her that the devil had taken her over and ran away. After accidentally killing Sue Snell and most of the people at the party, Rachel focuses on Jesse, who finally showed up. He tried to tell her that he didn't know about the tape, which she doesn't believe until she hears him say "I love you" on it. Rachel then knocks him out of the way when the ceiling comes down. It crushes her legs down, leaving her trapped. Jesse tries to stay with her, kissing her even as his sleeve catches fire. To save him, Rachel uses her ability to throw him into the pool. She then dies in the fire.
