Elena Maxwell

Elena Lee Maxwell is a student attending Thornton High School and Wendy Maxwell's fraternal twin sister. She is a popular student, best friends with Mara Hitchball and close with Kate Marcus and other members of the SexySquad, Elena joins the glee club mainly due to the fact that Wendy got Joe McCain, whom she has a large crush on, to join the club. Due to her close friendship with Kate, Elena is a homophobic, and her greatest fear is falling in love with a homosexual man. However, Elena is a good person with a friendly personality.

Elena is the nice, "obsessed with popularity" type of girl. Full of insecurities, she is a good person, but would drop her "best friend" Mara anyday for somebody more popular; as a matter of fact, the only reason she is friends with the shy girl is to make herself look better. She does, however, treat Mara like a real person, unlike most (such as Kate and Ethan Roberts), and comes to Mara's defence when she is being bullied, though reluctantly as she considers what it would do to her popularity. A member of the SexySquad, Elena is one of the most popular girls in school, and wears this label with pride and honor.
