I actually really like Tiny and think he has some of the most potential out of all the newbies, I just haven't seen enough of him yet. He's way more believable than some of the other characters, and I love him with Shay. Clever and a good person. I also liked his gang storyline.
64. Leia Chang (8-10)
This is probably the only rankdown where Leia makes it this high, and I'm okay with it. Sure, she was super invisible for most of the show, but her randomness and irrelevance made her HILARIOUS. I loved her first appearance as Mia's initial friend that was too uncomfortable for her modeling highlife, her relationship with Danny where she got caught in a lie about never seeing LOST, and her friendship with Anya and their LARPING together. Her last scene on the show was her attempt to comfort Anya, who just discovered her mom had cancer-- Leia said that her aunt recently died from it after getting better from chemo, making Anya more worried! She was just such a random, underused character that had way more potential to be a likable queen, as she was also super realistic and, at least to me, compelling. Instead she was just awkwardly there, and then left without an explanation. ILY Princess Leia.
63. Tori Santamaria (11-12)
She was so awesome! I wish that her actress didn't have to leave (fun fact: her actress is Cassie Steele's sister (aka Manny Santos) and also played Angie Jeremiah in the first few seasons). I loved that she was somewhat of a snobby pageant queen, but she had a good heart and cared for her friends. Her friendship with Maya and Tristan was way more iconic that her seemingly replacement, Zoe. While I like Zoe, I think Tori had way more potential to be interesting/complex/real. She brought out the best in both Tristan and Maya, who I sadly think peaked in their freshman year.
62. Danny Van Zandt (4-9)
I liked that Danny was something we haven't really seen or gotten on the show before or after his appearance. He was a genuinely nice, funny, attractive guy that wasn't super athletic or popular. He evolved from being Liberty's annoying younger brother to being a stand-up guy that actually managed to have a cute relationship with Chantay. His relationships with Mia and Leia were LOL hilarious and failures. His friendship with Derek brought him down a bit, but he was always the more tolerable of the two.
61. Goldi Nahir (15-)
I love Goldi, but she hasn't gotten much screentime yet (from what I've seen) so I can't rank her higher than this yet. She deserved to win the election with Miles and Tristan, who were completely awful and unwatchable during it. She's socially "with-it" and an educated, informed citizen that packs some punch with her words. I love that she's passionate about her beliefs and I feel like we're going to *hopefully* see great things from this activist after she was ROBBED of her election win. Also hoping the writers give her more substance than simply making her a political mouthpiece. She also provides a new perspective on Islam that's different from Hazel, Sav, and Alli.
65. Tiny Bell (13-)
