Rachelle grew up with two loving parents in America. It wasn't until she was ten that they moved to London where her father was often gone on business. He worked as a curse breaker for the Ministry. Elizabeth was a stay at home mom. Besides Elizabeth’s small fits of rage that occurred there family life was semi normal. When Nino was home the siblings loved playing Casting and Dueling which was a game they all played until Elizabeth got a headache and told them to stop. Rachelle and Carlo were always close. When Nino was gone Elizabeth would often throw small fits of rage. Rachelle protected him from the blunt of it. It wasn’t until the family had lived in London for a year that Elizabeth lost her temper and turned into something that completely baffled Rachelle.

Her mother was a creature and when she was angry small fireballs would illuminate from her hands. From then on Rachelle made it a point to help her mother know when it was time to take a walk in the backyard. Rachelle turned eleven and left Carlo behind telling him to behave himself. She made her mother promise her that she would never show Carlo what she became when too angry because it would scare him. Her mother also suffered from a bad case of OCD. The house was always clean and her children had to look and act perfect 24/7. She often made Rachelle braid her hair before going to bed, Carlo had to read and paint before bed every night and then they both fell asleep to classical music. Elizabeth was very strict about her household. It wasn’t until later that Rachelle figured it was one of the only things her mother had control over so it went to her head.

Rachelle experienced fierce homesickness at first. She began her constant reading of Greek mythology and missed Carlo and America. She was sorted into Ravenclaw. Her freshmen year she hung low and just tried to blend in. She didn’t want to draw attention to herself. She didn’t make a lot of friends but she did hang out a lot with her older cousin Donovon(Mom's side). They weren’t really into the socializing but together did their own favorite past times together. Rachelle’s second year was spent playing music with her cousin and learning the subject of Quidditch. Rachelle’s third year she was introduced to Care of Magical Creatures. She became enthralled in the idea that Animals could be just as good as friends as people. Her natural knack for knowledge, memorizing things and reading grew.

In this time their cousins were going through a hard time with their parents. Nino her father attempted to play dad in both homes. This cut down the time he spent with his own kids in half of the already really short amount of time. Derek ended up leaving the home and this caused Elora to start acting irrationally. Elizabeth attempted to comfort her and tell her she could go back to work. She eventually did. She ended up picking up some unwanted habits which was followed by Elora turning around and telling Elizabeth to do the same thing.

That summer her father decided to bring his kids to work with him along with the cousins. Nino was in the middle of solving one of the biggest Egypt curses that was protecting treasure and untold history that had been protected by Anubis warriors. Carlo was whining because of the heat and Rachelle had finally given up and sat down and let Carlo lean on her. Her muggleborn cousin from her dad's side Valerie visited and gave up as well. The cousins on the other hand were at their best. Elana had gotten so mad at her brother that she casted a simple spell at him. Donovon easily reflected it and it hit her father in the back. This was just enough concentration to break the spell. Rachelle remembers every second. The sand started raising, screaming and yelps sounded through the air. All the curse breakers ducked many of them grabbing for them. One curse breaker grabbed Elana, Donovon ducked, one of the curse breakers grabbed ahold of Carlo covering his eyes and Valerie followed suit with Rachelle. When she lifted her head there was nothing left of her father. Rachelle was mortified.

She knew that her mother’s OCD and Veela copilot was best at bay when Nino was home and helping out around the house. Now Elizabeth was going to have to go back to work like her sister Elora. Rachelle was so depressed and angry she refused to talk to her cousins  until after Hogwarts. She couldn’t look at them without knowing they had single handedly killed her father. She returned her fourth year of Hogwarts. Carlo had joined her and had fallen in love with Quidditch. They went through the hard life experience of losing their father together. They ultimately lost their mother that day as well. Elizabeth couldn’t keep working, working was dirty and she had the hardest time. She ended up sleeping her way to find people to pay the bills. Nothing like the good ol veela charm. During this summer, Elizabeth finally confirmed what Rachelle had only read about. Her mother was a veela.

Elizabeth continued to explain the temper tantrums, the issues she had with so many men. The horrific heartache that Nino’s death brought. She explained to Rachelle that men would never treat her the same. She had to find that one man like Nino who would love her for her brain and not just her body. It was right after this that it began. When she returned to Hogwarts her fifth year she was constantly asked out. She still wasn’t talking to her cousins, her closest friends with her younger brother. She was smart enough to balance school with her studies. She had plenty of boys who just thought she was attractive but when it came down to it she got bored because they never had anything in common.

Rachelle grew sick of this pattern. Her sixth year she began to look into things that she liked to do. She started really focusing on COMC and excelled in Potions. After watching her cousin Medi Witch Valerie go on missions with her mentor Gabriella her love of healing increased. Her love of creatures just added to the fact that she wanted to work with creature related injuries. This would give her the chance to explore to of her favorite loves. Rachelle . went home to her mother’s house and the current boyfriend, Mil. Mil was a disgusting pig one that her mother had warned her about. One that just loved the outter Veela. Rachelle was sitting and reading when Mil pulled a move on her. She was so upset she went to live with Valerie for the summer until she went back to Hogwarts.

Rachelle ended up falling for a guy the start of her seventh year named Deran.He wasn’t the guy he claimed to be. He was just another Mil. He pretended Rachelle was more then just a pretty face. In reality he ended up just finding they had nothing in common but lied to keep her interested. Rachelle doesn't mean to make everyone upset at her and often disguised herself in America tattoos that were seen as ugly in the British world to pretend that she could hide the half veela qualities. Disgusted that she fell for one of them again. She attempts to just be friends with many of the boys but towards the middle of her seventh year she finally admitted after a long argument that she was in love with her best friend James Potter. After a terrible fight they two ended up figuring out things and becoming an item.

After graduation Rachelle stayed with Valerie until she got on her own two feet. She immediately started interning for Mungos working with Magical Creatures and Beings. This included everything from animal like creatures, to centaurs, veelas, werewolves, and vampires. She loved her job so much she would take home extra work and attempt to learn everything she could. James would often make her slow down which was good for her because otherwise she probably would have lost him completely. She's still an intern for Mungos but is slowly approaching ranking as a normal Healer in the mean time she just tries to get by with balancing work, extra work, and her two year boyfriend James Potter.
