Rachel Black

Rachel Black is the sister of Jacob Black. She is also Rebecca Black's twin sister and the daughter of Sarah and Billy Black. She moved away from her father and brother after the death of her mother. In Twilight, at the beach Jacob tells Bella that Rachel got a scholarship. Paul imprinted on her in Breaking Dawn when she came home after graduating early from a college from Washington. She is very protective of him. In the beginning of Breaking Dawn, Jacob says that Rachel would kill him if he hurt Paul. Jacob is annoyed that Paul spends all of his time at the Black's house and says that he has his own home.

Etymology
Rachel means "ewe" in Hebrew, idiomatically "one with purity". The Black family's name origins seemed to be connected since Rachel was the favorite wife of Jacob and the most beautiful wife in the Old Testament, Rebecca's aunt and Sarah's granddaughter-in-law.
