Rachel is a character who only appeared in Barney's Big Surprise and its respective book adaptation. She was portrayed by Vanessa Lauren during the initial run of the Barney's Big Surprise tour and its video release. Elizabeth Fry served as an understudy for the character in any event Lauren couldn't perform.
Rachel is first seen, alongside the other kids, playing in the treehouse once the curtains open. Barney then proceeds to introduce the kids, including Rachel, who makes it known that she's glad everyone came. She and the others then proceed to show the audience as to what they were doing in the treehouse. Rachel showed the audience that she was hula hooping and pretending to have a cat stuck in a tree.
It's eventually made known that there's a big surprise, Rachel then proceeds to assist with BJ's entrance, helping to roll in his big drum for his birthday. Rachel asks if anyone wants to give a clue to how old BJ is. From planning BJ's birthday, pretending to fly in an airplane to flying kites soon after, Rachel and the children decide to decorate the treehouse for BJ's birthday party as the dinosaurs go see Professor Tinkerputt for BJ's surprise.
Soon after the dinos return, the treehouse is all decorated and Rachel, alongside the other children, join in the festivities that take place during the rest of the show, including imagining treats, playing a game of Old MacDonald (where Rachel is dressed as corn) and having fun with Mother Goose's rhymes.
