'''Rachel I''' (Rachel Primula Andisson; 7 December 1530 – 2 February 1691) was Countess of Rosalica and Helenica following a political marriage between her and Count Rein Vandale on 9 May 1554. Following the Westmound Heights Agreement, she united 15 counties, including hers, to form the [[Rosalica|Margravate of Rosalica]]. She would continue her reign, now as Margravine, from 3 June 1560 until her death in 1691. Rachel served as the first of the five monarchs of Rosalica.

Rachel was the daughter of Ludger Andisson, Count of Rosalica, and Margarita Laninga, his first wife. In her early years, Ludger arranged a political marriage of Rachel with Rein Vandale, Count of Helenica. In 1554, Rachel was married off to Rein Vandale, and upon Ludger's death a few months later, she succeeded her father and became Countess of Rosalica. Rachel ruled next to Rein Vandale until his death in 1555, which upon she merged the two counties under her banner while facing opposition from remnants of the House of Vandale.

Her next goal was to bring the small counties of Westmound Heights under her rule to secure Rosalica's western and southern borders. The elven nobles of the Westmound Heights Counties were at first opposed to Rachel's attempts to grow her influence over the region, even at times attempting to assassinate her. Through economic and military action, delegates from the Westmound Heights Counties finally agreed to negotiate a union with Rosalica. This would conclude with the signing and ratifying of the Westmound Heights Agreement in 1960 which officially established the Margravate of Rosalica with Rachel serving as its first monarch. In the same year, Rachel married her lover Ewoud Janssens, a travelling merchant from Valerica.
