biography

As an only child, Santana grew up thinking she could run the world around her. She was showered with attention and love, always being given what she wanted. This was only magnified when she was 12 and her parents divorced. Her mom moved out to live with her abuela in Lima Heights Adjacent and it wasn’t like she was even given a choice. She was packed up and moved with her, leaving behind the house and life she had always known. Since her father was always working and didn’t seem to have time to spend with her, he just showered her with gifts and money. She began to use that to her advantage as she was angry all the time at her parents and the messiness that was involved in the divorce - as is seen by the fact that she convinced her father to pay for her breast implants the summer before junior year. She found that she had always had crushes - her first unofficial boyfriend being in kindergarten when she kissed a boy behind the slide on the playground. She was 13 when she had her first kiss with a girl and it was like the sky opened up and heaven rained down. She had already been dealing with the idea of having a crush on the other girl but when they kissed at a birthday party, it just felt right. Nothing came of anything with that kiss but it made her realize over the next year that those secret feelings she had been holding mean something. That was the beginning of the biggest secret she had ever held. Her family would never approve of her sexuality and she knew that if she were to ever come out, it would cause hell. When she started high school, she immediately gravitated to the Cheerios. Her mother had been cheerleading captain in high school and she just always wanted to make her parents proud of her. Being on the Cheerios and at the top of the social ladder meant it was easier to hide behind a sneer and the pompoms than show her thoughts. It also meant that when it came to her sexuality, she could hide behind the parties because hooking up with girls while drunk didn’t actually mean she was a lesbian - or she pretends to believe.

biography

Santana Maria Lopez is the only child born to Dr & Mrs. Lopez. She is quite literally the apple of her parents eyes, in their eyes she could do no wrong. Despite that she was judgemental and didn’t make friends easily she, in the eyes of her parents she was an angel. She has always been interested in singing and dancing so her parents decided to put her into singing lessons and ballet lessons. Lessons in which she took a shining to. Kept secret from her friends, Santana excelled in her lessons and became top of her class.

It wasn’t until she was ten years old that her father received a job in Lima Ohio that her family had to move from the sunny California. Santana had never been happy about the move but she understood that her father had to relocate and she had to go with her family, back to the hometown of her mother. Once in Lima and starting school her parents offered to find her new dance classes but she refused instead she headed in the direction of cheerleading.

As she grew older and made her way through the cheerleading teams, Santana found close friends in Brittany Pierce and Quinn Fabray. The three of them had become close friends, almost inseparable. They were the best friends that Santana ever had and could ever ask for. Two people to stick by her through everything? Absolutely perfect. The best friends to last her a lifetime. As they grew older and made their way to high school she could see how confident Brittany was with her sexuality yet Santana could only admire from afar.

She couldn’t admit to the world, let alone herself, that the latina was in fact a lesbian. Instead she kept up the front of being a heterosexual woman in today’s society. It made things much easier for the girl and the older she got the more attractive she became. With her rise in beauty and popularity Santana had gone from the angel of her parents to the slut of McKinley High.

She spent her high school years trying to prove not only to everyone else but to herself that she was a straight woman, but deep down she knew it wasn’t true. Her constant anger at herself caused her to constantly lash out at other’s. Being mean and calling others degrading names, it was one of the reason’s why Sue Sylvester saw such greatness in her. Santana Lopez was the HBIC of McKinley High and she wasn’t going to lose that title to anyone.
