Top 10 Best High School Musical Characters

Love her, of course, queen. But I hate when people say that she was the real victim. She pulls strings in HSM 2 and gets Troy hired to work at Lava Springs and talk to basketball people all so he can get away from his friends, do a duet, and date Sharpay. She is self-centered and doesn't care about anybody else.
"What's the prize? Troy? The Stardazzle Award? You have to go through all this just to get either one? No, thanks, Sharpay. You're very good at a game that I don't want to play. So, I'm done here. But you better step away from the mirror long enough to check the damage that will always be right behind you."
He's the best. Very attractive, haha. But Danielle was very annoying, and he was in love with her. It was annoying how she'd always be there, and it made him annoying a bit. I like him best in the first movie.

Come on, the man actually goes through a full character arc, from the snobby brother of the clearly spotlight-hungry Sharpay in movie 1, to the defector and director of the end show in the 2nd, all the way to becoming a man and falling in love in the 3rd. Easily the best character.
Amazing. So underrated. Great friend and listener, and a wonderful choreographer. You can tell Sharpay annoys him, but he sticks by her faithfully.
Ryan is a seriously underrated character. I mean, he is so sweet and ambitious at the same time. And Ryan and Sharpay are so good together. I just hope she treats him better in the coming days.
She should be higher. When Roy said all those mean things about her, she handled it in a calm manner instead of jumping to conclusions. She has an amazing voice, better than Sharpay's. If you think she's fake instead of Sharpay, you should watch the movie again.
She's good in almost everything, including school subjects, singing, and basketball. And she's funny. She's not afraid to be herself and is willing to tell others how she feels in a nice way. She is also really mature and confident due to her ability to handle her biggest fear, which is singing in public.
Gabriella is more empathetic than all of the characters in High School Musical. Gabriella is my favorite character and deserves to be number one. #lovevanessahudgens #lovehighschoolmusical
Super funny, even though he can be grumpy and hard to persuade at times. He always has good intentions and always makes up for his mistakes. Can be very relatable.
I know people say that he's just like another dumb jock, but he's not really. He's pretty clever. And on a side note, he has the cutest hair ever. He's hotter than Troy.
Is it bad that I have a huge crush on his hair?
Nice, shy, and quiet... what's not to love?! Kelsi just wants to make music and have fun, even if she does have to put up with Queen Sharpay.
Everyone seems to forget her. It is pretty sad. I can't even pronounce the actress's first name.
Kelsi is kind of always picked on by Sharpay. She tries her best, and it's always great when she makes music.
Heartfelt character who loves to bake. It was a twist on the stereotypical jock, and I loved it.
Incredibly smart and beautiful, Taylor is sassy and knows what she wants and how to get it. She keeps it 100% real all the time.
Smart, pretty, and talented - way better than Gabriella.
Darbus' character is so funny because she doesn't care about what anyone says. She is even willing to pick on students for their terrible auditions.
A lot of people hate her, but once you get to know her, she is not so bad. Especially in HSM 3.
The Newcomers
Martha is obviously the best, and if you have any other opinion, then you need to get your facts straight.
