Hailey is an ordinary kid who is very introverted and sort of risk-averse. She doesn't go looking for crazy things to do. In fact, every time she comes up with an idea she wants to do, she just puts it on her list and plans to put it off. And when The Professor arrives in her bedroom, she is very reluctant to talk to her at first, but after hearing she made a to-do list that is the first step to saving the world, she has to try new things, which is something Hailey has a tendency to avoid. The to-do list she must complete, however, is set to push her far out of her comfort zone but she eventually gets the confidence and ability to do all these crazy things she wrote down on her list. That is her first step towards becoming a great person that does great things in the future.
She is also a very loyal friend, doing anything for her childhood best friend Scott, though harboring a huge crush on him. She can also be jealous at times, especially when Scott begins dating the most popular girl at school, Kristine.
Hailey usually realizes when she's wrong and quickly tries to make up for it, due to her good heart.
