Real name Rachel Barbra Edwina Berry
Rachel Barbra Berry Born December 18, is a fictional character and de facto female lead from the Fox musical comedy-drama series Glee. The character is portrayed by actress Lea Michele, and has appeared in Glee from its pilot episode, first broadcast on May 19, 2009. Rachel was developed by Glee creators Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan. She is the glee club star of the fictional William McKinley High School in Lima, Ohio, where the show is set. Her storylines have seen her suffer peer alienation due to her Broadway ambitions, and develop romantic feelings for Jesse St. James (Jonathan Groff), a member of rival glee club Vocal Adrenaline, but primarily for quarterback and glee club co-captain Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith), to whom she eventually becomes engaged.
Michele bases Rachel on herself when she was younger, and also draws inspiration for the character variously from films including Election, and television portrayals such as the Gossip Girl character Blair Waldorf. Michele has said that she draws on a lot of vulnerability playing Rachel, much like Blair Waldorf. She noted, "Rachel will never be popular because her looks aren't considered beautiful, and when I was in high school it was the same for me. I didn't get a nose job, and every single girl around me did. Therefore, I was out." Michele added, "What's so great about Glee is that it shows you how that kind of stuff hurts, but it doesn't matter: You can still be who you want to be."
Rachel is a "strong, driven girl" but somewhat neurotic, and Glee follows Rachel's journey to become more of a team player as well as fulfil her own aspirations. Michele was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series in 2010, and for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Television Series Musical or Comedy in 2010 and 2011 for her performance in the role. Rachel has received mostly positive reviews from critics: Maureen Ryan of The Chicago Tribune praised Michele for making the character "more than a humorless stereotype", though The Wall Street Journal 's Raymund Flandez has described Rachel as "insufferable". Several songs performed by Michele as Rachel have been released as singles, available for digital download, and also feature on the show's soundtrack albums.
Rachel is the most frequently seen character on the series, with "The Role You Were Born to Play," "Dynamic Duets" and "Shooting Star" (all in season 4) being the only episodes where she does not appear.
Biography
Rachel Barbra Edwina Berry est née le 18 décembre 1994 et est élevée depuis par ses deux pères homosexuels. Cependant, sa mère biologique est Shelby Corcoran la coach d'une chorale concurrente, les Vocal Adrenaline. Jeune fille bourrée de talent, Rachel est à l'affut de toute opportunité la rapprochant de son rêve absolu : la gloire. Elle devient donc en toute logique un des membres les plus actifs du Glee Club. Ses deux pères lui ont donné le prénom de Rachel en référence à Rachel Green, de la série populaire Friends. Rachel met toujours un sticker en forme d'étoile dorée après son nom pour signifier sa détermination à devenir elle-même une star de Broadway. Elle est malheureusement peu populaire dans son école et très peu de personnes l'apprécient, à cause de son perfectionnisme et de son ambition démesurée. Les cheerleaders des Cheerios et les joueurs de football des Titans se moquent régulièrement et ouvertement d'elle. Rachel est également une fan de West Side Story et ses idoles sont Barbra Streisand et Patti LuPone. Elle a souvent l'impression que son talent n'est pas reconnu, en particulier par Will Schuester, le professeur responsable de la chorale. Selon elle, il fait tout pour saboter sa carrière, en n'écoutant pas ses propositions ou en donnant ses solos à d'autres membres du groupe.Played by the actors

In the teacher's lounge, Emma tells Will that she has accepted Ken's marriage proposal, but is now having second thoughts. An eavesdropping Sue mocks Emma's indecisiveness, and informs Will that Principal Figgins needs the New Directions' setlist for sectionals by this afternoon, or the Glee Club will be disbanded. Will meets with Figgins, who tells him that the setlist's due date had been moved up because the school's extracurricular activities are being audited to gauge their effectiveness and value, something which is being paid for by one of the sponsors for Sue's Cheerios.
