In a nutshell, Gabriella Montez is East High's leading lady. At least when it comes to singing and dancing.
She's dating the basketball captain, Troy, and is therefore the object of jealousy among other high school females. Gabriella is also a member of the winning scholastic decathlon, along with one of her best friends, Taylor. She's also known for great voicen and was part of a winter musical called "Twinkle Towne."
Gabrilla Montez: [about singing previously] Well, you sound like you've done a lot of singing, too. Troy Bolton: Yeah, my showerhead is very impressed.
