I'm hoping for a northern lights hunter we haven't had a outdoorsy girl in a few years
Raquel is a ten year old girl who was born to play Computer Games, her Favorite Is Puddle Books
in her Family there's:
Mrs. Reyes (Raquel's Mother)
Mr. Reyes (Raquel's Stepfather)
Max Reyes (Raquel's 4 year old Brother)
Emmy Reyes (Raquel's 6 year old sister)
and her, Raquel Reyes (she's 10)
her pets are:
Goldfish (Brigitta, Marta and Gretl) (they remind me of The Sound of Music)
Pet Cow (Sneezer)
and
Pet Pig (CC)
She lives on a Farm in Amherst, Massachusetts (where I live)
I also got to point out that the surname Reyes means king or royalty in Spanish. 👸🏼 🤴. The surname is similar to Cecile’s last name.
I did further research. The name Raquel reached its peak in 1991. It is also of Hebrew origin and means ewe which is what female sheep are called 🐑. The name is also popular in Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries. Lea’s books has a Portuguese glossary. It is also possible that Raquel Reyes could meet Lea as an adult. I’m all of a sudden reminded of the 1960’s actress Raquel Welch.
Awesome! I am looking forward to finding out more about her!
