On her mother's side, Rachel is descendant of Transylvanian gypsies from Metzenseifen, a town both in and at the base of the Carpathian Mountains. She has the 'gypsy gift of sight'. On her father's side she is descendant of 100 years of funeral home directors so she has the dead on one side of the family and the undead on the other.
