Rachel Braband was featured as a member of the cast in the tenth season of the MTV reality television series The Real World, titled Back to New York. She has been described as being a typical innocent newcomer, who was supposedly wide-eyed and bubbly, as well as ready for learning more about life. During her initial introduction on the show when she was 18 years old, Braband was said to be at a turning point in her existence and on the cusp of discovering her own path to adulthood. She is an only child, and she was brought up outside of Chicago by her hardworking mother, who wanted to ensure only the best and brightest future for her daughter.
Braband is a devoted fan of pop and punk rock music, who is highly fond of going to concerts and is known to spend all of her spare money on CDs. She has also been described in the past as being inexperienced in a lot of ways, though she tried to test her limits in order to push beyond them. As for her actual stint on the show, Braband was often the butt of ridicule and teasing from her fellow cast members because of her seeming simplicity, though it was her first time to experience the challenges of city life.
