Rach^Phoebs

Rachel, unlike Monica, was popular during high school. Prior to the series Rachel had fled her wedding to Barry Farber (or Barry Finkle, as he was initially known) having discovered she desired the gravy boat that she had been given as a wedding gift more than she desired Barry. Consequently, Rachel was stuck in a state of arrested development, an adult woman who emotionally had not outgrown adolescence. It is also revealed throughout the show that Rachel had a cat, a dog, a pony, a turtle, a hamster, and a tarantula while she was growing up.

Rachel's parents are rich and generally cynical...
