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:
“I make it a kind of pious rule to go to every funeral to which I am invited, both as I wish to pay a proper respect to the dead, unless their characters have been bad, and as I would wish to have the funeral of my own near relations or of myself well attended.”
—James Boswell (1740–1795)
“Thus we may define the real as that whose characters are independent of what anybody may think them to be.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
“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)
