Haley Baker

> "*Just because I was cheerleader in high school does not make me a bitch or someone that disrespects you now in life. I went against what a regular cheerleader as most are stereotyped as being mean, cruel, vindictive, and selfish. I was sassy, sweet, caring, and compassionate with the world at my feet. Then I met the love of my life in Elliot and to this day he always brings out the best in me. The fact that you even have to ask if I'll help you take them down is a complete joke.*"

**Haley Victoria McFadden** (nee Baker) is a graduate of Tree Hill High School, a main protagonist and one of the main characters throughout the series.
