Rachel Amber

Rachel Dawn Amber is a character in the video game series Life Is Strange, published by Square Enix. Created by French developer Dontnod Entertainment for the original 2015 game, Rachel's character was expanded upon by Deck Nine for a prequel game titled Life Is Strange: Before the Storm released in 2017. She is voiced by Kylie Brown.

Her character is introduced in Life Is Strange as an affluent and popular student who is the former best friend of Chloe Price. She attended the protagonist Max Caulfield’s school and has mysteriously vanished, serving as one of the game's central themes. In the prequel Before the Storm, Rachel is a main character and forms a relationship with Chloe, which can be portrayed as romantic.

Rachel’s character was regarded as an important thematic element in the original game, and her portrayal in Before the Storm was generally received positively by critics and attracted a significant fan following. Commentators noted and criticized the eventual reveal of her being kidnapped and murdered in the original Life Is Strange as an LGBT variation of the “women in refrigerators” trope.
