Kelsey Hooper

Kelsey Hooper was the first schoolmate Maria Jackson met after moving to Bannerman Road. Her hobbies included drinking Bubble Shock!, flirting, watching TV (especially Hollyoaks and the music channel) and sending bullying text messages to younger children.

Biography
Kelsey was an apparent neighbor of Maria, as she approached Jacksons because she noticed the moving vans. Almost immediately after meeting Maria, she suggested they go into town on the free Bubble Shock! bus. The ride was only free, however, because it made a mandatory stop at the Bubble Shock! factory. She and Maria got embroiled in the mysterious happenings at the factory, and soon met the Archetype, who would later come to be known as Luke Smith. She was briefly held prisoner by Mrs Wormwood and used for her knowledge of Sarah Jane Smith.

Although she thrust her way into Sarah Jane's attic, and met K9, she was not involved with the final remedy to the Bane crisis, as she was under the influence of the Bane chemical.

After having been released from the influence of the Bane, she was later described by Maria as "backtracking like mad — saying there's no such thing as aliens". (SJA: Invasion of the Bane)
