Magnolia Berry

Magnolia Berry is a main character in Glee: NDNG. She is a sophomore, at the start of Season One, who seems to exist purely to make life difficult for everyone. As of the end of Pilot, she was a member of the New Directions.

Early Life
For now, Magnolia's early life is mostly being kept under wraps. What we know is that she was adopted by Rachel's fathers, and was raised alongside Beth, becoming a constant thorn in her side, despite their similarities.

Season 1
Magnolia makes her first appearance in Pilot at the auditions, where she confidently belts out Defying Gravity (a song choice Beth clearly wouldn't be so confident about). Shortly afterwards, when Liam Cook is panicking before singing, her laughter can be heard from backstage.

In rehearsals the next day, she can be seen in the background arguing with Ophelia Yates. The two of them are less than pleased to be taking orders from Beth, and Magnolia voices her belief that Glee Club is beneath her.

In Edge, Magnolia's suggestion regarding making the club better for everyone is to have different leads. She laughs out loud at September Puckerman's request to sing an originally male song, and questions it, asking derisively if she's a lesbian. She then provokes Valerie Lopez-Pierce by continuing to talk about lesbians.

Later, she is outraged when Beth gives away her solo to Ophelia. She proceeds to sing Defying Gravity again and appears more self-satisfied afterwards, unaware that others are hiding laughter.

After a rehearsal of Holiday (which was chosen to satisfy a lot of the club's desire for "edge"), Magnolia tells Beth she is unsatisfied and presents a list of songs the club should sing (in other words, that she should sing. Alone.) She continues to try and talk her way into a solo, playing the "almost sisters" card. She takes offense to Ophelia saying she always takes offence when she takes offence to Ricky Vincent saying that Beth is the nice sister.

In Coming Out of My Cage, she appears in Celibacy Club, despite openly disliking Valerie and being desperate for sex. She demeans lesbians again. She asserts dominance over Logan Abrams, aggressively flirting to give him an erection then make fun of it. Valerie begins to argue with her so Magnolia confronts her about her past, prying until she dismisses the club.

She later throws a slushy at Liam and runs away.

In My Junk she performs in the dream sequence, dancing with Logan disinterestedly.

Back in rehearsals she complains about the idea of having to learn ASL, and makes a snide comment behind Sky Duffy's back (to which he makes an effective comeback).

Personality
Big things come in small packages, and Magnolia is a package of rage, sass, and self-centredness.

Style/Appearance
Magnolia tends to dress as glamorously as a high school student can get away with, even when it isn't practical.
