Biography[]

Season One[]

Kaleesha makes her debut in The Hellraisers as a popular cheerleader, best friends of Samantha Parker and Kendall Rhodes. She is walking down the hallways with them, criticising Sue Sylvester. She asks Samantha how her relationship with Matthew Humphrey is going, to wich she replies she thinks its okay. Kaleesha notes that every time they mention Matt, Sam gets sad for some reason.  She is then having lunch with the rest of the cheerios. She ans Kendall talk to a depressed Sam, that says she wants to break up with Matt, after she states Matt is a "man-whore", who flirts with every girl, including them. Both Kalleesha and Kendall stare, and play a song on the phone. They both perform Doo Wop (That Thing) along with the rest of the cheerios on the cafeteria, enjoying the performance. The performance is seen by Will and Holly, that note the girls talent. They then try to reclute both girls to glee club, but they reply negatively, and walked away from then. Kaleesha has a change of feelings, and tells Kendall glee club could be a good opportunity for both of them. She says all she wanted as a kid is to be a star, and maybe glee club would help her to accomplish the dream. Kaleesha then goes to the bulletin board, and observes the new direction´s call back list. She signs on the new sign up sheet. Kendall finds out, and oposses Kaleesha. Kaleesha then watches the glee club perform Don't Stop Believin', and smiles. 

In Numb, Kendall, Samantha and Kaleesha are sitting in Sue´s office. Sue tells them she belives in them, and wants them to do something. She says she wants them to join glee club and tear it down from the inside. Kaleesha seems nervous about this, and in a voiceover, she sayas she doesn´t understand why Sue is doing this, she says new directions never did anything to her, and it would be unfair. She really wants to join, as this could be her opportunity to shine, and do what she wanted to do for her whole life. She also says joining glee club would ruin her reputation, but she doesn´t care, she´s tired of being the cheerio doing everything she´s asked. Sue asks the girl if they have a deal, Kaleesha wanted to say no, but said yes, feeling stupid. The three girls then perform Shine Ya Light, by Rita Ora, and they are warmly wlcomed by Holly. Kaleesha isn't pleasent with Sue´s plan. She is then at auditions, and watches Jason Duffy audition. She is then at the choir room when Viper performs I Don't Care, at the end of the episode. 

Although her role is brief in Duffy Danger, she participates in a performance with Holly Holiday and New Directions, singing Tightrope with the gang and has her own solo.

Her rivalry with Kendall continues in Blackout. Kendall misses a Celibacy Club meeting (she`s on a date with Kai), and she pops in the club and is welcomed to it, as Kendall`s absent.  She then feels bad for Viper after the consequences of him kissing Deno Darko on the hallways. Kaleesha then spots Kendall and Kai together, and sees them getting on Kai`s car. Later on, she is at the choir room, when Kendall reveals she`s dating a warbler, named Kai. She seems annoyed about this, and talks with Jason about the other girls, which they hate. Things warm up between her and Kendall, as she says that Kai is using her to spy on New Directions. They both start verbally attacking each other. Kaleesha says she`s tired of Kendall taking advantage of people, and this leads her to sing Lost & Found. Just after the performance, the lights went out because of a strong storm occuring. New Directions was supposed to do Invitationals that same day, and they decide on bringing their own lights to the show. She, along with the rest of New Directions, perform All of the Lights for Invitationals, bringing light to the show. 

In Guilty Pleasure, Kaleesha agrees that there shouldn't be a sexual assignment for New Directions due to the fact that Holly could lose her job because of it. When Kendall, Hailey, and Samantha perform Sexifyshe can been seen as looking disgusted throughout the entire performance. Meanwhile, when Matthew and the boys are finished performing a song, Matt brings out his cockiness about his looks, and Kaleesha disagrees and says that "[Matt] puts the "L" in "Loser". Agreeing with Jason along the way. After that, Kaleesha attends the collision with The LGBT Alliance and The Celibacy Club and performs Turn Me On with the rest of the group and has backup vocals with New Directions while performing Guilty Pleasure

Later, she performed in Phresh Out the Runway/Diva with New Directions. Meanwhile, Kaleesha tried to have a talk to Kendall, even though twice she refused, and Kaleesha scared her friends away only to get Kendall's attention. Kaleesha wanted to have a truce with Kendall, who declined it and called her a loser. Kaleesha defended herself and the Glee Club as she disrespected her friends. She was called fake and called a bitch and she was left in shock. However, with the help of Jason, who she reveals to admire, Kaleesha started to plan something for revenge. Meanwhile, at Breadstix, she is seen with Jason, Aidan, and Salvatore and is seen annoyed by the two boys' banter. She also gives her plan to give Kendall a breakfast beatdown with milk and cereal. After that, she stuck with her plan, and after Kendall made a comment about African-American, Kaleesha lost her breaking point and started to pour food all on her; she was pushed down to the ground at first, then got back up and fought back. Therefore, she, along with Kendall, were suspended from school.

She then meets with Kendall on the choir room, where they each admit what they feel about their situation, and Kaleesha thanks her for making her stronger all the way. Kendall doesn`t feel like making a truce, and leaves the choir room. She then talks with Hailey about Jason, who had been missing school and wasnt answering messages, and they agree that Jason and Samantha are misunderstood.

Sixteen is a centric episode for Kaleesha - she walks in the hallway and gets a birthday greeting from Cole, but she is confused by his apparel as he wears a suit and tie. Cole attempts to cover her eyes and send her to a classroom where the New Directions Boys sing Sixteen Candles as a birthday gift to her. Kaleesha blushes, laughs and smiles during the entire performance and hugs Cole after he gives her a rose. Meanwhile, Kaleesha highly convinces Samantha to come to her sweet sixteen on the same night, while Samantha doubts that anyone would want her there because of the Cole tension, Kaleesha tries to prove her wrong and begs her to come just for her. When she accepts, they hug each other. Later, Kaleesha hesitantly tries to invite Kendall to her sweet sixteen, while she and her are still on a bad note, she wants her to come in order to have a good time, stating that she wants that atmosphere around her on her birthday.

Meanwhile, Kaleesha is offered a present for her birthday by Kendall, who decided to attend, Kaleesha first makes a joke about if there is a bomb inside. After that, they start to talk, but they overhear her grandparents speaking in the kitchen about something troubling. Kaleesha tries to question what is wrong with her grandmother, she is completely curious about what is going on after they try not to tell her, but when her grandmother reveals that she was diagnosed with cancer, Kaleesha is completely distraught.

Her grandmother tells her to hope and pray that things will get better, and tells her not to let it ruin her enjoyment. She hugs her and Kaleesha tells her that she loves her and decides to go back outside to get fresh air. Cole is outside, and they converse with each other, as he apologizes about her struggle at that moment. She is called a strong woman and a role model for trying to get through this struggle, although Kaleesha doesn't think that because she attacked Kendall. Cole states that he heard that no one could ever have the guts to do what she did. Cole gives her a necklace for her birthday and Kaleesha is seen happy once again as she hugs him, but it all stops ias it gets silent, and Kaleesha and Cole look at each other and share a short kiss.
