Personality:

Bitchy, spoiled, and beautiful, Santana is, on the surface, the ultimate cheerleader stereotype, even after she quits the squad. She holds very little respect for other people, instead choosing to look down on them until they give her a reason not to - and even then, it had better be a damn good reason. Santana is better than you, she knows it, and she will make damn sure that you and everybody else knows it, too. She also knows that she's hot, and she uses it to her advantage. To put it simply, Santana gets around. Boys, girls, she doesn't really care, as long as she has a warm body underneath her. One thing you would expect from Santana is stupidity - and that is where you would be wrong. She's definitely not at the top of the heap intellect-wise, and she's more than a little bit prone to irrational decision-making, but Santana isn't stupid. Her advantage is in street-smarts, and manipulation.

The girl is power-hungry. She likes to be in charge and boss people around, so those that take that away from her would be advised to run. If it doesn't come to blows, she'll insult you with all the tact and subtlety of a brick. After her boob job, she was demoted from the position of head cheerleader, resulting in a textbook example of a catfight. What she says goes, to the letter, or there will be hell to pay. If she can't boss people around herself, or usurp someone else's position, she quickly attaches herself to whoever is running the show. As a symptom of her overly controlling attitude, she has a quite nasty jealous streak. As insistent as Santana is that sex is not dating and that she doesn't really care, she is very possessive of those she gets involved with. There are giant confrontations when her on-and-off boyfriend Puck dates girls who are so obviously below Santana, and when her best friend with benefits Brittany decides to date one of the Glee guys, Santana runs right to him and tells him that she only likes him for his voice.

However, her jealous streak isn't entirely due to her need to be in control. Deeper down, and really, a greater share of it, is due Santana's all-consuming need for attention and love. Someone that loves her is supposed to love only her, and how dare you try to snag some of that love away? She got a boob job at 16 because she "wanted people to notice [her] more", despite being the most popular girl at school, drunkenly demands that her boyfriend love her, and does her best to position herself at the top of the heap, because that way, at least if people don't like her, they won't say anything about it. And when they do, Santana melts down. She becomes overly emotional at the drop of the hat, and can burst into tears over a minor inconvenience like a loss of tanning privileges, or someone predicting her future career as a stripper.

She is incredibly defensive, in every possible way. While demanding love and adoration from others, she refuses to give it in return, carefully guarding her emotions with the tenacity of a mother bear. She is afraid to feel for other people, and deathly terrified of feeling for another girl, a problem that she has to face when she realizes her feelings for her best friend-with-benefits Brittany are more than friendly, and more than sexual. Not only is she afraid of the consequences of becoming attached to another person, as opposed to them being attached to her, she is afraid of the toll a lesbian relationship would have on her status in the overwhelmingly homophobic environment in which she lives. Santana has to be forced into admitting her feelings, and even after that, she's dragged out of the closet kicking and screaming, instead of her own accord.

That isn't to say that she doesn't have a friendly, cheerful side, it's just that few people are allowed to see it, lest her Head Bitch In Charge reputation be compromised. It is there, though, and it's mostly because of Brittany (and much later on, the rest of the glee club). Even after joining the glee club, and proving her loyalty, it takes a long time for her to truly become comfortable with them and consider most of them friends. Hell, even if you are her friend, don't expect any sweet treatment unless there are very special circumstances. Like, your dad being in the hospital, or when you quit dressing like "a fantasy of a perverted Japanese business man with a very dark, specific fetish."

Abilities:

Santana doesn't hail from any kind of dangerous or supernatural world, nor has she ever been put into those sorts of situations, so none of her abilities are outside the grasp of a normal human. However, she is more athletic than most, having been captain of the number one cheerleading squad in the nation. She also has a fantastic singing voice, and some dancing skill. She is a pretty good manipulator (even if her targets aren't very smart to begin with), and of course, coming up with quick and absurd put-downs at a second's notice.

Sample: From her last run at QoH 1 2 and more recently, from Soul Campaign
