Hi there, I am Santana Lopez and I am the sexiest girl in the "New Directions" Glee club. I used to be a "Cheerio" but got kicked off for choosing to go to Nationals with the Glee Club.  My best friend is Brittany.  Have I told that I am in love with her.  I am afraid to come out and tell people who I really am.  Maybe  I will have the courage soon. I love to sing songs by Amy Winehouse. My senior year was the year I accepted my self as who I am and identified my sexuality as a lesbian.  I am in love with my girlfriend Brittany.  Now having graduated I am heading to cheer at the University of Louisville.  I think I am going to miss Brittany so much!  I am not sure college life is for me . Who knows where I will end up.

Actor Bio: Naya Rivera was born on on January 12, 1987 and was raised in Valencia, Santa Clarita, California.  Rivera is half Puerto Rican, quarter African American, and German descent.  As a baby she was in K-Mart commercials. Her first significant acting job was at the age of four when she starred as Hillary Winston in  the sitcom, "The Royal Family". The show received positive reviews and high ratings initially, but when star Redd Foxx suffered a sudden heart attack on set the show never recovered and was soon canceled. Nonetheless, Rivera received a Young Artist Award nomination for her performance. She made several appearances in television shows through out the years.  She has described Santana as "your typical high school cheerleader, for the most part," explaining: "She's really mean and loves boys. She's really witty so I love playing her." She has characterized Santana as "a bit of a bad girl" who is "really snarky and always has these really witty one-liners she throws out there." Rivera enjoys the fact Santana is competitive and headstrong as she herself shares those traits, but dislikes Santana's mean streak.
