Background
Rachel first appears in the Pilot episode running into Central Perk in a rain-soaked wedding dress in search of her high school best friend Monica Geller, with whom she has evidently lost contact during her university years or shortly thereafter. Rachel had just fled her wedding to Barry Farber after she realized that she wasn't really in love with Barry, and desired the gravy boat that she had been given as a wedding gift more than she desired her fiance. It is also revealed throughout the series that Rachel had owned several pets, including a cat, a dog, a pony, a turtle, a hamster, and a tarantula while she was growing up. She also went to college, and was in the sorority Kappa Kappa Delta.
