What is the name of Rory's Chilton newspaper rival and later Yale roommate?

Paris Geller is Rory's Chilton newspaper rival and later Yale roommate.

Paris begins as Rory's academic competitor at Chilton. Her intense drive, blunt manner, and high expectations make her one of Rory's most persistent rivals, although their relationship gradually becomes a complicated friendship.

At Chilton, Paris and Rory work together on The Franklin. At Yale, they share living arrangements, and Paris remains closely connected to Rory's academic and personal life. The character is played by Liza Weil.

Paris is not Rory's only Yale roommate. Rory initially shares a suite with other students, and Paris later becomes her roommate. Her earlier Chilton relationship with Rory is the reason she is often remembered primarily as Rory's rival.
