Alejandra Christina Lopez Friendly, energetic, slightly scheming. Ale is the unspoken leader of her friends. She tends to find herself in silly situations but is always able to think her way out of them. She plays herself off as tough, but is not-so-secretly very sensitive and caring. Don't ever tell her though, or you might get punched in the face.

Edgar Olof Santos Edgar is the twin brother of Sven. Edgar is extremely laid back and friendly, but like Sven, has an obnoxious joker streak. He's very good friends with ale which leads most people to assume they like one another (both deny the accusations). Edgar and Sven are of Irish/Swedish and Dominican decent which accounts for their unusual red hair and nordic names. Though he's the older of the two, Edgars laid back personality usually leaves him open to jokes from Sven.

Caren Steinburg Super sweet and super ditsy. Ale's self proclaimed best friend. Shes very loyal to, and trusting of her friends, and will go out of her way to help them if she can. She comes from a not-really-practicing jewish family, though her father tries in vain to make them attend synagogue. Though known for spacing out and her ditsy personality, Caren will sometimes surprise people by making remarkably intelligent observations which go unnoticed by her.

Sven Augustin Santos Sven is the twin brother of edgar. Though only three minutes the younger, Sven has a bit of an insecurity complex which causes him to be extremely competitive. Though he tends to come off as sarcastic and obnoxious, Sven actually is a very sweet individual. Usually the only people to see this side of him are girls, who he treats very chivalrously. Sven is a huge practical joker, often using his unsuspecting brother as the butt of his jokes.

Haruko Alia Thomas Haruko is one of Ale's closest friends. She's a self described tomboy who rarely if ever backs away from a challenge. Haruko is extremely intelligent but socially awkward. She tends to say things in the wrong place at the wrong time, often resulting in awkward silences for all others involved. Haruko is currently trilingual, raised speaking english and japanese by her parents and taught herself spanish as a hobby in one month.

Esperanza Angelica Dominguez Esperanza is Ale's arch nemesis. She is rich, spoiled and exceedingly arrogant. She loves to flaunt her money and resources to Ale whenever she can, and has been known to go out of her way in order to do so (such as Ale's last birthday). Esperanza has a crush on Julian, much to Ale's annoyance, and makes a point to drop by to see him. Much like Ale, esperanza is the head of her group of friends, which include the other rich kids at their school.

Maria Christina Lopez Maria is Ale and Julian's mother. Maria works as an "administrative assistant" (which Ale supects is fancy-talk for secretary), at some large company in the city. When not busy at work, Maria is busy running after her two children and somewhat irresponsible husband. She loves to shop, and is not-so-secretly addicted to the home shopping network. She can be extremely neurotic when it comes to cleaning, and can often be found "straightening up" the house.

Hector Gilberto Lopez Hector is Ale and Julian's father. Though frequently seen lounging around the house (much to his wife's annoyance) hector is a successful engineer. Hector has a very laid back personality (in contrast to his slightly high strung wife) and takes pleasure in spoiling his family, especially his "baby" Ale. He attended culinary school for a short time in his youth, and thus is the primary cook for his family. He is extremely immpunctual, and will often evoke "puerto rican time" as defense of his lack of action.

Julian Lopez Ale's older brother. When not lounging around playing video games or reading comics, he'll be out causing mayhem with friends. Though a slacker and a dork, hes considered popular at school and with the girls. Even though they are two years apart, Julian and Ale are very close. He will often come to her rescue in times of need, if it doesn't coincide with his video games at least.
