Nadine Hernandez

== Early Life ==
Nadine Romina Hernandez-Santiago was born on June 5th 2002 to local chef and businessman Jose Hernandez  and his late wife Olivia Santiago. Her father is of Colombian descent and her mother of Mediterranean descent. As a child, Nadine and her parents moved frequently due to the nature of her father's job. After her mother's passing, Nadine, at the tender age of six, and her father settled down in Lower Duck Pond. Nadine began her schooling at the local public school as a kindergartener where she struggled at first to fit in. Her father worked hard to change that, and by the first grade she was outgoing and beginning to gain popularity among her peers.
== Cheerleading and High School Career ==
Nadine joined the Cheer Team at Central High School in the fall of her freshman year where she immediately fell in love. Her father has made significant donations to the team to better the equipment, training, and uniforms. During her Sophomore year, she was promoted to varsity and eventually to cheer captain. She is now in charge of recruitment, try-outs, fundraising, and organizing competitions.
Nadine is well known around Central High School as one of the wealthiest and highly regarded students. It is unclear whether students fear her for her social status or respect her. She has a bubbly personality with a bite and is not afraid to call people out or use her social power as a threat to get what she wants. Nadine mirrors the stereotypical image of a high school mean girl.
She has been on the homecoming court and awarded homecoming queen every year since her freshman year and was crowned prom queen during her sophomore year. In middle school, she was the spring formal princess all three years.
