Biography[]
Rachel Greene was a member of the Greene family and lived on the Greene farm in rural Georgia. She was the daughter of Hershel Greene and an unidentified late mother and was the twin sister of Susie Greene. Additionally, Rachel Greene had two other older sisters, Lacey and Maggie, as well as three brothers, Arnold, Billy, and Shawn.
Rachel Greene had a presumably normal childhood and was likely a school student as she entered her teenage years. In the months following the zombie apocalypse, all of the Greene family members kept themselves enclosed at the farm. They rounded up various "walkers" and kept them contained inside of a barn on the estate. It was Hershel's hope that a cure for their condition could be found. The first member of the Greene family to fall victim to this was Shawn Greene, whom the others kept locked up in the barn. [1]
It was during this time that another group of survivors, led by Rick Grimes, came to the farm. They stayed with the Greene family very briefly and offered to help with various chores in exchange for shelter.
While attempting to put another roamer away inside the barn, Hershel accidentally allowed the other zombies the chance to escape. During the carnage, both Lacey and Arnold were infected and Hershel had to put them down before they could reanimate. Both of the twins attended a small funeral service for them on the property. [2]
With the integrity of the farmland now compromised, Hershel and his surviving family members went with Rick's group to take up sanctuary at the abandoned West Georgia Correctional Facility. The survivors found several inmates who had been trapped inside the prison, and as such, managed to survive without being exposed to infection. A tenuous coexistence was formed between both parties. [3]
Although most of the inmates were fairly benign, one even-tempered man named Thomas Richards was in fact, a bloodthirsty lunatic who had been imprisoned for the brutal murder of his wife. In the barber shop at the prison, Thomas Richards beheaded both of the twin sisters, leaving their severed heads upon the floor to reanimate. They were ultimately put down by Glenn. Maggie Greene avenged her family by shooting Richards multiple times and leaving his bleeding body to be consumed by walkers. [4]
