The small New Enlgand town of Star's Hallow is home to Rory Gilmore. An all american girl that was that result of a teenage pregnancy. Lorelai is her real name just like her mother and great-grandmother before her. The Gilmores blood has bonds just try to break them baby. Lorelai and Rory are best friends. Pop culture and junk food junkies their magic is hypnotizing. Just try to keep up with Rory's reading list. It has formed a hell of a writer with an aspiration to become the next Christiane Amanpour.Rory lived twenty minutes away from New Haven, but never really knew her grandparents until the Gilmore Girls made a deal with them to come every Friday night for dinner in exchange for them to pay for her tuition for Chilton: the prep school that was designed to get her ready for her dream college, Harvard. Rory and her grandparents, Emily and Richard Gilmore, come to have a strong relationship; it is implied throughout the series that they view her as the version of Lorelai that they had hoped for but did not get, as Lorelai turned out to be rather spirited and followed her own path. Rory also meets her great-grandmother, the original Lorelai Gilmore, but doesn't get to know her very well before she dies (and is buried in fresh clothing including strawberry patterned undies courtesy of the reigning Lorelai.)Rory has three serious relationships through the series with 1.) Dean, 2.) Jess, and 3.) Logan. Dean married another girl, Lindsay, but the marriage quickly went sour after Rory lost her virginity to him in the fourth season finale. Rory and Dean dated for a short time in the fifth season, but they broke up for good when The Gilmores threw her a fancy party to find an appropriate match and he realized that she was way out of his league. Rory dated Logan on and off during the rest of the series. He proposed marriage to her in the final season, but she declined, stating she wasn't ready for such a big step, breaking off their relationship.Rory's best friend is Lane Kim, the drummer for Hip Alien. They've known each other from early elementary school days. They talk about boys together, listen to music of all kinds, and sometimes double dated or gone to parties together. When Lane's mother throws her out of the house, Rory lets Lane live in her dorm for a while. Their lives get very different as Rory pursues her career in journalism and Lane tours with her band (then a wife and mother of twins) but their friendship remains rock-solid.Rory went to high school at Chilton, starting partway into her sophomore year. This was the prep school that was going to prepare her for an Ivy League education, but it had its pitfalls. She is pegged as an instant rival by Paris Geller (who ends up being a roommate through college and a Florida spring break make out partner) she graduates from Yale and takes a job following Barack Obama's presidential campaign, among others ( She din't take the first offer that came her way!). All of her Stars Hollow neighbors give her a (unrealisticly dry) heartfelt sendoff, as she has grown up there and is considered one of the 'daughters' of the town.Little more than a month until we know where she is now!!!
