Character Name: Rachel Berry
Series: Glee
Character Age: 16
Canon: At the William McKinley school in Lima, Ohio, your social status can be made obvious from the moment you walk through the door: some people throw slushies into people's faces, and some people are slushie'd. When Will Schuester, Spanish teacher and one-time performer, decides to restart the Glee club - a show choir - at the school, the majority of the students treat it with the same love and affection that one would treat a piece of dog muck in the street. But there are always a few - a ragtag group of students, from the intellectually-challenged jock to the wheelchair-bound musical dilettante to the pregnant cheerleader, every one surprisingly talented, who all gather under Schuester's tutelage on their quest to win the regional show choir competitions.
The girl who holds showbiz closest to her heart, and in her own words "the stunning young ingenue that everyone roots for", is Rachel Berry. Prideful and sometimes far too assertive for her own good, Rachel has her eye on the prize - eventual superstardom - and she's determined not to take her eye off the ball. She is hardly the favourite person of the other members of the Glee club, considering her well-exercised ability to be obnoxious, divaish, overly ambitious, and not to mention self-involved. However, when it comes to musical talent, she's out of the ballpark, with a beautiful singing voice. Yet, underneath the diva's attitude there is a vulnerable person, with some self-esteem issues, who would probably enjoy being liked by other people if it didn't mean she has to forsake her dreams or values. Furthermore, Rachel truly loves the Glee club, believing that it's something special and wanting it to succeed - and she's willing to work very hard to achieve that aim.
Sample Post:
Good afternoon, everyone! I hope I'm not too late for the orientation seminar. I was told there would be a special guest star - I didn't miss them, did I? Well? ... Oh. I have to say, I expected everyone here to look a little more excited. It's almost as if you don't want to be here! Come on, now, look sharp. You don't want to miss out on an opportunity - after all, this whole place is for people like us! C.F.U.D., the Camp For Upcoming Divas -- the stars of the future! It comes so highly recommended that it doesn't matter if it smells terrible, or if the road stopped halfway here and I had to wade through three miles of swamp. These were my best shoes, but I don't care. If there's an opportunity knocking, I'm always going to answer, even if the person at the door's skin seems to be falling off. Excellent stage make-up, by the way. I was almost convinced you were a real zombie, but that'd just be silly. Although I did see a few strange things on my way here - for one thing, what's with that sign? Everyone knows that the Happiest Place on Earth is Disneyland.
Well, inadequacies aside, I expect I should consider this as fuel for my autobiography. I've already written four chapters detailing my early years and my onward progress toward stardom. Though no, you can't see it yet. It won't be released to the public until I've finished at least four bestselling studio albums and have starred on Broadway several times. I haven't even had one album yet, so I'm afraid you'll just have to wait, Mr. Graargh, until I'm well into my career and I have to dye my hair a little. As you should know, it's just not classy to release an autobiography before you're thirty. Still, though I doubt I'll be here too long, my wholesome adventures at summer camp might amount to perhaps a few pages. Maybe half a chapter, if this place can further my career the way I've been told it can.
... huh? What's so funny? This is the Camp For Upcoming Divas, isn't it? It's not as if I appreciate the word 'diva' - just because I like things done a certain way and I prefer to be appreciated for the hard work I put in instead of having my obvious talent ignored doesn't make me a diva - but I have to say that I'd prefer to be a diva than to fail at my aims, and I can assure you I'll listen very carefully every lesson that's taught here. Even if the teachers seem to think we'll learn more productively if they wear purple gorilla suits. Oh, and I've forgotten to introduce myself -- my name is Rachel Berry, star in the making, and I'm extremely pleased to be here. I'll stop talking now, since I'm sure it's about time for the guest star to appear -- oh. I'm the guest star? And I'm not going to be a guest for much longer? That's so flattering, and I'm glad you've heard of me - I expect you've seen my MySpace profile - but I'm only here for a week. You'll have to find someone else. Hmm, how do we solve a problem like that . . . maybe I can even find someone for you! Although I wouldn't know where to find a charming young star in a place like this --
-- around the lake? Ask for Marcy? I'll do it! And, for what it's worth, you shouldn't be so rude. Just because a girl is straightforward and knows what she wants, it doesn't make her a monster. Consider this a storm-off.
