Elizabeth - The main chick. The protagonist and second-oldest Bennet daughter. She is the wittiest and most intelligent of the family, and she has her father’s sharp tongue. She is extremely judgmental of others, often showing disdain for the antics of her mother and younger sisters. She is also prone to making snap judgments about others based on first impressions. She is extremely confident in everything she says and does and shows little regard for what others think of her. That confidence makes her feel especially foolish when her judgments are proven wrong, as they often are.
Jane - The other chick. The eldest and most beautiful of the Bennet children. She is incredibly kind and always believes the best about everyone, even when she really shouldn’t. Even when Bingley’s sister Caroline keeps her from seeing Bingley, she cannot say a word against her. Jane acts as a foil to Elizabeth, as she has no prejudices whatsoever but at the same time she has none of the confidence of her sister. Because Jane refuses to believe anything negative about anyone else, she tends to blame any negative event on herself.
Mary - The ugly chick. The Bennets’ middle child, she is the plainest of the sisters. She has dedicated herself to her studies and to music, but it hasn’t done much for her. Although she is well-read, she isn’t particularly witty, and despite her practice she is an extremely mediocre piano player and a terrible singer.
Kitty - That other other chick. She always hangs out with Lydia and just does whatever she does.
Lydia - The annoying chick. The youngest of the Bennet family, she and her older sister Kitty are almost the same person. She is the most energetic of the girls and the most social one as well. She is very similar to her mother in that she is obsessed with the prospect of marriage. She constantly flirts with the soldiers who pass through the country, which leads to her running off with Wickham. She is also similar to her mother in that she is quite foolish and not very self-aware, often saying awkward, abrasive things without realizing it.
Mr. Bennet - Sass daddy. The patriarch of the Bennet family, his most notable trait is his quick wit and his razor-sharp tongue. Like Elizabeth, he is quite snarky and frequently criticizes the antics of his wife and younger daughters. However, he tends to be quite passive and rarely does anything to stop his wife’s foolish actions. In fact, he rarely tends to do anything at all for the family, generally preferring to sit in his library and read then to take any real action. Elizabeth is his favorite daughter and he adores her, but he’s often rather rude to the rest of family, especially his wife, with whom he does not have a healthy relationship.
Mrs. Bennet - Stupid mom. The mother of the Bennet girls. She believes she exists for one purpose and one purpose only: to find her daughters husbands. Her single-minded dedication to this task often proves to be source of consternation for the girls. Like Lydia, the daughter she is closest to, she is not very self-aware, and is often prone to saying foolish or hurtful things without realizing it. She is also rather flighty, and frequently complains about her “nerves” upsetting her when anything dramatic happens.
Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy - Snarky guy. Mr. Bingley’s closest friend, and the eventual husband of Elizabeth. He is the extremely wealthy master of Pemberley House, and as a result he is an incredibly proud man who frequently shows disdain for the lower classes. Darcy and Elizabeth are similar in their tendency towards snide remarks and harsh judgments of others. Darcy feels affection for Elizabeth early on in the novel, but his attempts to court her fail because of his need to constantly remind Elizabeth that he is better than her. After Elizabeth rejects his proposal and tells him what she truly thinks of him, he spends the latter half of the novel changing his character to become more tolerant, more compassionate, and less prideful.
Mr. Charles Bingley - Nice guy. The wealthy resident of Netherfield Park near the Bennet house and Jane’s romantic interest. He is a terrifically nice men who has no issues with fraternizing with the lower classes, contrasting greatly with Mr. Darcy’s aloof nature. Despite the differences between him and Darcy, he trusts Darcy with his life and heeds his advice above all other, which is why he leaves Jane despite his great affection for her.
Mr. George Wickham - Sleazy guy. His father worked for Darcy’s father, and he was raised alongside Darcy almost as a second son. When the elder Darcy died, he left money for Wickham’s education. However, Wickham refused his education, instead accepting a small settlement from the will. After Wickham promptly squanders the settlement, he goes to Darcy for help and Darcy refuses him. Wickham then attempts to seduce Darcy’s sister, Georgiana, so he can get his hands on the Darcys’ money and continue living the life of luxury he is used to. As a result, Darcy despises Wickham and refuses any contact with him. At first, Wickham appears to be a handsome, charismatic, upstanding young man, and he happens to be a very good liar. In reality, however, he is a greedy, devious scoundrel. Thanks to his looks and charisma, he almost seduces Elizabeth, but gives up when he finds out her family has no money. His flirtatious nature leads to him running off with Lydia and marrying her with encouragement from Darcy.
Mr. William Collins - Annoying fat guy. A cousin of the Bennet family and the heir to Mr. Bennet’s estate, he lives as clergyman in a parish on the estate of Lady Catherine de Bourgh. He is pompous, pretentious, and shares Lydia and Mrs. Bennet’s knack for saying awkward, rude things. The only person Collins likes more than himself is Lady Catherine, for whom he has constant, unending praise. He marries Charlotte Lucas, the daughter of the Bennets’ neighbor and Elizabeth’s best friend, after his clumsy proposal to Elizabeth is rejected.
Lady Catherine de Bourgh - Bourgeoisie scum. A noblewoman with a wealthy estate in Kent called Rosings Park. She is the aunt of Mr. Darcy, and she has even more pride and distaste for the lower class than he does. Lady Catherine is obsessed with tradition and doing things “properly”, making her a foil to Elizabeth, who does not care for societal expectations and does things her own way. She planned to set her own daughter, Lady Anne, up with Darcy, and becomes extremely angry when she discovers he and Elizabeth have feelings for one another.
