(Sorry If I get a gender wrong!)
Anna - Chris' older sister, very opinionated, also very strong and is the best person to talk to when you have a problem, the mom friend, constantly worrying about everything Christina's doing.
Chris - Anna's younger sister, very brave, doesn't think before she leaps, painfully blunt, skateboards, wears lots of denim, thinks her sister is way too overprotective, always chewing bubblegum.
Jules - completely glamorous, is incredibly protective of her friends, wears lots of glitter and sparkly things, you mess with her fam she'll beat you as black as her smokey eye and as red as her lipstick.
Alex - Michael's younger brother, everybody's best friend, hates conflict, keeps Jules from murdering people, "COME ON GUYS! WE'RE ALLLL FRIENDS HERE!" he screams as someone threatens him at gun point.
Michael - Alex's older brother, really stoic, tries to fit in but is way too awkward and doesn't get the others sense of humor, always takes metaphors way too literally.
Jared - Alex's best friend, always telling jokes, likes teasing and finds the blank, confused, face Michael gives after hearing his jokes completely hilarious. "Wha- what?" "ALEX HE'S MAKING THE FACE AGAIN!!"
Kira - Barely talks, finds Jared to be a idiot, when she does talk it's usually something demeaning, kind of emo, ooh watch out don't cut yourself on that edge, only person she cares about is Elliott.
Elliott - Likes reading, kind of reserved, has low self esteem, very polite and always wearing a dress shirt, precious cinnamon role, Kira's relationship with him is that of "I've only known Elliott for a day and a half, but if anything happened to him, I would kill everyone in this room and then myself."

This is so cool to read. First you got all of the genders correct, and Jules was 2000% spot on, like scary accurate. Alex's personality, absolutely correct (Michael and Alex were low key two names I was trying for the same character, and considering the first impression you get from the name, I'll definitely be going with Alex.) Anna and Christina are actually completely switched. Chris is the motherly dorky older sister and Anna is… let's just say a Gryffindor. Kira and Elliott are close (actually cousins) and their personalities are close(ish). Jared is more Michael-y, but overall really similar first impressions to their actual personalities. Thanks so much!!!
