Sue is part of the William McKinley High School Staff and is the coach of the cheerleading squad, the Cheerios. She detests the Glee Club and their teacher, and attempts to bring them down at any cost. She is jealous of the Glee Clubs talent and also holds grudges to unhealthy, almost super-villain levels, particularly her desire to destroy the Glee Club for getting money for that had once been promised to her Cheerios. However, Sue is not completely without her soft side. She is very loving towards her sister Jean, who suffers from Down syndrome and who Sue visits as often she can.
