Characters
The girls who make up The Fabulous Five include Jana Morgan, Beth Barry, Christie Winchell, Katie Shannon, and Melanie Edwards.
Boys are supporting characters throughout the series. Six boys are mentioned in every book, mostly in relation to The Fabulous Five. They are: Randy Kirwan, Scott Daly, Shane Arrington, Tony Calcaterra, Jon Smith, and Keith Masterson. All of these boys are either the girl's boyfriend or their former boyfriend.
On their first day at Wakeman Junior High, the girls become enemies with four girls who call themselves The Fantastic Foursome. It consists of members Laura McCall, Melissa McConnell, Karen "Funny" Hawthorne, and Tammy Lucero. Funny is the only one civil to The Fabulous Five, and even becomes friends with both Jana and Melanie. The Fantastic Foursome's schemes usually involve sabotaging at least one or all of The Fabulous Five, in whatever endeavor the book may be about. "One-upmanship" is the name of the game. However, The Fabulous Five almost always win by the end of the book.

Famous quotes containing the word characters:
“Waxed-fleshed out-patients
Still vague from accidents,
And characters in long coats
Deep in the litter-baskets
All dodging the toad work
By being stupid or weak.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“Socialist writers are made of sterner stuff than those who only let their characters steeplechase through trouble in order to come out first in the happy ending of moral uplift.”
—Christina Stead (1902–1983)
“The Nature of Familiar Letters, written, as it were, to the Moment, while the Heart is agitated by Hopes and Fears, on Events undecided, must plead an Excuse for the Bulk of a Collection of this Kind. Mere Facts and Characters might be comprised in a much smaller Compass: But, would they be equally interesting?”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
