Sodapop is protective and gentle with Ponyboy. He does his best to make Pony know he cares, and he's always there for him. He's also seen as super handsome. Everyone says they could fall in love with him, but he loves sandy.

Johnny is seen as lost. After he got jumped the first time he is quiet and thoughtful. The gang thinks of Johnny as "the pet" of the group. The whole group loves him, even if he feels like no one else does.

Ponyboy is into his own life. He thinks a lot about every situation, and wants it to turn out well, though he knows it wont. Ponyboy is also super artistic and see's people in a way that perceives that.

Darry works hard, and supports his family. He really tries but doesn't know how to go about things sometimes. He does a lot for how young he is. I feel like his parents death took such a large toll on him, and he takes it out on ponyboy.

Dally is cold hearted because of his history. He protects the group and his own. Although he makes mistakes, everyone cares about him. He's one of the strongest seen in the group.

Bob is with cherry. Cherry doesn't even like him that much. He drinks and is rude. He also thinks he's entitled

S.E Hinson said "You know what a greaser is?" Bob asked. "white trash with long hair"(55) this is indirect, but shows how rude he is.

S.E writes, "It was Randy and Bob, and three other socs, an they recognized us"(55) this is indirect, just sayin he was around bad people.

Randy was of the Socs who hurt Johnny and Ponyboy. He's a follower of bob too. Randy is a friend of bob and Is seen little in the book. He's a side character.

Hinton said "But Marcia saw no reason to throw away a perfectly good, free coke "

Marcia is small and sweet. She's not as outspoken as Cherry. She's really nice and more quiet than cherry too. She's a cheerleader.
