Santana Lopez

Santana Lopez is a student at William McKinley High School. She was a very popular cheerleader and was captain of the Cheerios after Sue kicked out former captain Quinn Fabray, to whom Santana was sidekick, because of her pregnancy, though she lost this position when Santana's breast enhancement surgery was revealed to Sue by Quinn. In season one, Santana joins the Glee Club to spy for Sue, but soon develops a love for music and stays of her own volition; in mid-season two, she quits Cheerios in protest over Sue's lack of regard for the girls' personal safety. Though as the show progresses, more vulnerabilities in Santana have been exposed, her role as an antagonist continues; for example, in "Silly Love Songs ", she conspires to break up the other couples on Valentine's Day, and in the process steals Quinn's boyfriend Sam. Though Santana describes herself as from the "wrong side of the tracks", she has also alluded to her father being a wealthy doctor. Santana, who is seen as one of the most attractive girls at William McKinley, is of Hispanic ethnicity. Though her history of relationships has been with men - her affairs with Puck, and taking Finn's virginity - she is also in love with her best friend, Brittany Pierce, with whom before she had maintained a friends-with-benefits arrangement. Santana attributes her aggresive and bitchy personality in earlier episodes to confusion about and resentment of her sexuality. She is portrayed by Naya Rivera. Read more on Last.fm.
