Rachel Greene is a character first encountered in Issue 10 of Image Comics' The Walking Dead. She is Hershel Greene's youngest daughter, Susie's twin sister, and the younger sister of Billy, Shawn, Lacey, Arnold, and Maggie.
Pre-Apocalypse
Greene Family Farm
Not much is known about Rachel's life prior to or as the outbreak began, except that she lived on her father's farm and helped out wherever she could.
Post-Apocalypse
Miles Behind Us
Rachel Greene was first introduced when the survivors from Atlanta, led by Rick Grimes, reached Hershel's farm after Otis accidentally shot Rick's son, Carl. Rachel then proceeded to make minor appearances throughout the survivors' stay at the farm and generally was shown to be playing with her sister Susie. Rachel attended Lacey, Arnold, and Shawn's funeral and could be seen holding her father, along with Susie.
Safety Behind Bars
Rachel was not seen much, until the Greene family moved into the prison, to take up residence with the Atlanta survivors and the inmates due to the safety that the prison walls provided for the survivors.
It was during this stay that Rachel and Susie met their demise at the hands of Thomas Richards, who murdered them in the prison's barber shop, only to be discovered by her father Hershel. Susie and Rachel then proceeded to reanimate and gruesomely looked in toward the door behind them. Both were then shot in the head by Glenn and were buried behind the prison walls.

Maggie also killed Thomas saying "Now I feel a little better".

He shot her as a zombie to put her out of her misery which shows he cared about her. Also, although you never see them interacting at the prison they may have became closer while Glenn stayed at the farm.
