Rachel Handelbarz is a background character in the manga and anime “Azumanga Daioh.” Originally known simply as “Female Student A” by the production team, she was never named on screen, so fans have dubbed her "Rachel Handelbarz," because of her braids which resemble handlebars. Rachel is a nice girl, with a kind heart. She is friends with Kaorin and Chihiro. She’s unaware of Kaorin’s crush on Sakaki, but shares Kaorin's admiration for her, and doesn't have a crush on Sakaki herself.
