--> "You're talking to a Cali girl."
A San Francisco native, the new girl in Hillsdale and the POV character the reader makes all the decisions for. At the start of the series, she's described as "a fifteen-year-old girl of average height, average weight and a below-average sense of style".
----
* AffectionateNickname: Reese calls her "Red" because of her hair. Most books have at least one ending where they become a couple.
** An interesting point - only once is Haley referred to by the usual abbreviation of her name "Hales". Most people don't shorten her name.
* AudienceSurrogate: As common with any CYOA series, Haley is meant to be an ordinary teenage girl so readers can put themselves in her shoes and navigate each choice, from whether she takes the bus to school to if she goes to the high school dropout's Halloween party.
* GirlNextDoor: Portrayed as this. Is also literally this to Reese.
* GranolaGirl: Not necessarily one herself, but grows up this way due to her environmentally-conscious and health-conscious family.
* NaiveEverygirl: To the max, in order for the reader to put themselves in Haley's shoes and insert their own traits into her by making her decisions.
* NaiveNewcomer: Haley is new to Hillsdale, and everything she learns about it is just as new to the audience as it is to her.
* NewTransferStudent: The reason Haley is on the outside and can slot into any group.
* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: Haley's eye colour is never mentioned, but she is the new girl that everyone is interested in and she has red hair.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Unlike her friends, Haley's crushes are all nice guys. This is the main reason why the endings involving getting romantically involved with Matt don't work out.

---> "Hello, and welcome to another day in the life of Coco De Clerq."
The self-proclaimed queen bee of Hillsdale High. Snobby, superior and extremely confident in herself, Coco lets nothing stand in the way of getting what she wants.
----
* ACupAngst: It's noted in the first book that Whitney is at least two cup sizes larger than her, and in another book, she acts jealous over Haley's growing chest.
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Cynical, spoiled and untouchable, along with having dark hair (although apparently it's dyed from mouse to a richer shade).
* AlphaBitch: A textbook example. However, the first book notes that Whitney and Sasha are both prettier than her.
* CantHoldHerLiquor: Coco only drinks one night a year. That makes it very easy for her to get drunk.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Whitney and Sasha, who she claims to have known "since birth".
* ClingyJealousGirl: She spends the first two books chasing Reese and hating everyone he seems interested in. When she discovers Spencer is crushing on her, she turns this behaviour onto him.
* Dangerous16thBirthday: One ending features Haley ruining Coco's sixteenth birthday, involving changing Coco's hair hightlights to be orange and red, cancelling the band and hiring a children's birthday clown and cancelling the white tiger performers and exchanging them for Vietnamese pigs. Coco's reaction isn't shown, but Haley videoes the whole incident and gives copies to everyone Coco's ever hurt.
* GreenEyes: Coco is first described as "a pretty brunette with green eyes". Possibly a sign that her stare is very persuasive.
* HeelFaceTurn: It looks like she's about to make one of these in books 3 and 4 (even getting tearful over how cruel immigration policies can be), but returns to her old behaviour by book 5.
* LonelyRichKid: Can come off this way in the books after Whitney resumes her friendship with Sasha and before she rejoins their friendship.
* PassionateSportsGirl: Very briefly in book 4 when she puts all her energy into playing tennis.
* PoisonousFriend: She constantly puts her friends down. It's clear that the way she's been treating Whitney has chipped away at her self-confidence and caused a lot of her body image issues.
--> Whitney: I can't help the way my brain works.
--> Coco: That's assuming you have one, Whitney.
* Really17YearsOld: Visits her sister in book 7 at college and attempts to pretend she's a student instead of a high-schooler.
* RichBitch: She lives in what is referred to as a Mc Mansion.
* ToxicFriendInfluence: Whitney is noticeably nicer when Coco isn't around. Hinted that she's trying to copy Coco to stop her from telling her off constantly.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: All of Coco's friendships include her putting her friends down or mean tricks, including daring Haley to spy on Reese and then calling to tell him about it, and telling Haley that Cecily is trash-talking about her just to ruin their friendship.

[[folder: Whitney Klein]]
--> "That's nothing. The beadwork alone on this gown took me over twenty hours."
One of Coco's best friends and her loyal follower. However, despite copying Coco, Whitney is actually a rather sweet-natured girl in constant emotional turmoil. In later books, she starts making and selling her own line of clothes, and gains more confidence as a result.
----
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Can jump from one subject to another quickly, forgetting all about the previous subject
* BestFriendsInLaw: With Sasha. They were originally friends, then Whitney and Coco dumped her, but when Whitney's mom and Sasha's dad became a couple, Whitney and Sasha returned to being friends. One ending of the fifth book involves Whitney crying because Sasha hasn't tried to talk to her, and the sixth book starts with them becoming friends.
* BetaBitch: To Coco, most of the time. She gains her own voice as she grows more confident.
--> "You all look beautiful and nothing Coco can say will make me change my mind."
* BrainlessBeauty: Coco insists Whitney is this. She's not completely stupid, and her fashion sense and dressmaking talent is unmatched, but she isn't very smart.
* DumbBlonde: The least intelligent of the popular girls.
* TheFashionista: According to Coco, Whitney has turned shopping into a sport. Later on, she starts shoplifting clothes, and once she turns herself in and returns the clothes, she puts her energy into designing and making her own line of clothes, even selling them to mainstream stores and having a trunk show in one book.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Coco for the first five books, and with Sasha from book six onwards.
* InformedDeformity: The first book says Whitney is dyslexic. This causes her no trouble in later books.
* KindheartedCatLover: In the second book, Whitney won't let go of Cecily's cat at a sleepover and talks about how much she misses her pet cat, Princess Puffball.
* LikesOlderMen: Is often seen to have crushes on older men, especially in early books. This includes one of her dad's business partners, the De Clerq's gardener and Haley's dad.
* RichBitch: Sometimes strays into this territory, especially when commenting the Miller fridge is similar to one in her garage.
* ValleyGirl: Not to a huge degree, but she can come off this way
* WeightWoe: Whitney is of average weight, but at the start of the series, she and Coco are called "No Eat And Repeat" in their attempt to be skinny. Whitney is implied to be bulimic, although this may be out of stress and Coco putting her down. This stops as soon as Whitney starts designing her own clothes and gains some confidence in herself. However, a "dead end" shows her becoming so stressed that her habits of vomiting to keep her weight down come back.

--> "You're Sasha Lewis. What's not to love?"
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: As nice as she is pretty.

* LovableAlphaBitch: When Coco is dethroned, she comes off in this way, including her own GirlPosse of Haley and Cecily. She's considered the main proof that being pretty, popular and rich doesn't mean you can't be a nice person.

A San Francisco native, the new girl in Hillsdale and the POV character the reader makes all the decisions for. At the start of the series, she's described as "a fifteen-year-old girl of average height, average weight and a below-average sense of style".
----
* AffectionateNickname: Reese calls her "Red" because of her hair. Most books have at least one ending where they become a couple.
** An interesting point - only once is Haley referred to by the usual abbreviation of her name "Hales". Most people don't shorten her name.
* AudienceSurrogate: As common with any CYOA series, Haley is meant to be an ordinary teenage girl so readers can put themselves in her shoes and navigate each choice, from whether she takes the bus to school to if she goes to the high school dropout's Halloween party.
* GirlNextDoor: Portrayed as this. Is also literally this to Reese.
