After her father's death
Being only seven at the time of her father's death, she seemed to be the only person that consoled her mother. With Remedy up in her room, Raquel was left to look over her younger sister and mother.

It wasn't long till Melinda Halliwell binded their powers and took away their memories, and Raquel was slightly infected by this. She was unable to remember important events in time and often got side tracked on different things because she forgot about them. When her mother realised this, Melinda took action and tried to help her daughter but was unable too. Raquel went on in life simply forgetting small things till things got a little harder.

In high school Raquel was always picked on, but became quite popular when she began fights with other students. Later on she became quite distant from her family and went to University to get away from them. She hated that her sisters' always fought, her mother was always in bed and her other family members didn't give a crap.
