Rachel Esther Samuels was born in New York to Sidney and Esther Samuels. A religious family, they attended services every Friday night and Saturday morning at their local Synagogue. When she turned 12, Rachel celebrated her Bat Mitzvah, reading the Shabbat Hanukah parsha of the Torah, and the accompanying Haftarah.
At 18, Rachel enlisted in the Starfleet Marine Corps. She still remained very religious while in the Marines, and attended services unless she was on duty, or on a mission.
During her 20 year service with the Marines, Rachel rose through the enlisted ranks to Master Sergeant.
Upon the retirement of General David Berger, an officer Rachel served with for most of her career, Rachel resigned from the SFMC, and entered the staff of General Berger. She acted as his bodyguard and assistant for three years.
Rachel left the staff of General Berger, and headed out to Deep Space 101, where her uncle, Jacob Samuels had offered her ownership of his store.
Gunnery Sergeant Samuels' has a very large heart and is very kind, but is also very tough and thick skinned. She is a natural leader, and is very intelligent. She follows her orders to the letter, and expects her orders to be followed to the same extreme. She is very proud of being in the SFMC, and being Jewish.
At the moment, Samuel's is only a grocery store that specializes in Jewish foods, but Rachel plans to add a koser Butcher, and a kosher restaurant to the premises.
