Growing up between Paris and Beirut with well-to-do parents, Raquel is a Frenchy par excellance . But after fleeing her wedding, she becomes somewhat estranged from her parents. Meeting up with her old friend from IC, Mona, she decides to move into her massive "old rent" apartment in Hamra.

Deciding that she needs to be independent, she lands a job working at nearby Cafe Younes. Eventually she moves on to work in fashion, starting at Zara and then becoming a buyer and personal shopper at Aishti. She goes on to land a job as an executive for Elie Saab.

Raquel and Rami have a complicated relationship throughout the series – partly due to their different religious backgrounds. Finally, they end up together when Raquel dramatically gets off a plane bound for a new job in Dubai.
