Characters, so to speak

Hey y'all,
So, as I said, being an actor of sorts, I tend to get a bit dramatic. It's all for fun, so it's really not something I consider a flaw. Also, as I said before, I have several 'characters,' so to speak.
They're all made by greatly exaggerating a characteristic of mine. They're not actually me... because... that'd be strange. Sometimes I'll take on one of their personalities.... but just for fun. I'm not... mentally ill or anything. *smile*
They're all sisters... even though they look totally different and are all the same age. They live in a little old-Japanese style house.
In that little story I wrote, Alexis has exaggerated sympathy and kindness, while Mara has exaggerated pessimism and depression. Here are more characters with descriptions. Blah... I need to give them names, though.
You know what? It'd be really fun to write a story with all of them. Hehe!

Alexis (helper, defender) - She is very sympathetic, although not always empathetic. She tries to help everyone with their problems. Usually it works out, but sometimes it doesn't. Even when it doesn't, she won't allow herself to get discouraged. She doesn't want anyone to get hurt, so she often gets hurt. If she does get hurt, she just prays that it will all be taken away. She doesn't let anything get her down. By far the most responsible of the family.
She works at the petting zoo every other day. In her spare time, she reads classic novels.
Description: Shoulder-length red hair, gold-brown eyes, 16 years old, 5'4", very cute, dresses in bright colors.
She likes pretty much anything except burnt food, disgusting looking things, and anything too dark and drab. She gets along with everybody in the family, pretty much.

Mara (bitter) - She is very pessimistic, and usually sad. She thinks everything needs to be perfect, and is in constant fear of imperfection. She hates losing. She is often told to 'wake up' because she looks so tired and doesn't say much. She also doesn't like to disappoint anyone, so she constantly tries to please everybody. Because of this, she gets burnt a lot and gets depressed again. She doesn't have a very good spiritual life, but she's working on it.
She works at a ballet studio where she also dances five times a week.
Description: Long black hair, deep purple eyes, 16 years old, 5'2", very young looking, dresses in dark colors.
She likes roses, laughing, and dancing. She hates crying. She gets along with everyone in the family except Kitty.

Kitty (pure) - She is extremely clueless to everything going on around her. She doesn't have very many female friends, because they all think she's silly. Her guy friends enjoy teasing her to no end, but she doesn't mind... very much. She is easily interested or amused and very, very hyper. Phrases you would hear her say are 'Nya!', 'Eh?', and 'AIEEEEEEEE!!!!' [Note from the author: I have no idea how to punctuate that sentence... @)~] She loves all her friends, and usually doesn't get hurt, just because she's so clueless. She prays every day, but doesn't read her Bible.
She doesn't have a job. She hangs out with friends in her spare time.
Description: Long blondish-brown hair, large bright blue eyes, 16 years old, 5'3", always smiles, dresses in light colors.
She likes cats, hanging with her friends, and anything slightly interesting. She hates bugs and being scared. She gets along with everyone in the family except Mara.

Mina (love) - She is a very silly girl who is infatuated with a boy. She's slightly clueless as to what happens around her, but only to an extent. When she's sad, she'll lay in bed for an hour or so and cry. One of her favorite things to do is fall down and see if anyone will catch her, which they usually do. She isn't very smart, but makes her way through school. When she's not at work or with friends, she's studying. She has to work on school a lot so she won't fail. She doesn't have a very good spiritual life, but isn't working on it very much.
She works at the ice cream parlour. She doesn't have any spare time.
Description: Long brown hair, almost black eyes, 16 years old, 5'3", rather pretty, dresses in girly clothes.
She likes talking to people, gardens, and fantasy books. She hates studying. She doesn't like Bella or Mara, but gets along with everyone else in the family.

Bella (beautiful) - She is a beautiful girl who knows she's pretty, but doesn't let it get to her head. She enjoys when people tell her she's beautiful, but gets a bit annoyed with it after a while. She's very polite with grown-ups, but hates talking with them. She has a lot of good friends. Her best friend is the boy Mina has a crush on, so needless to say, there's tension between the two. She's also very smart and excels in school, so Mina is very jealous of her. She prays when she remembers, and reads her Bible every day.
She works at Busch's. She hangs out with her friends in her spare time.
Description: Long reddish-brown hair, dark green eyes, 16 years old, 5'3", extremely pretty, dresses in rich colors.
She likes hanging out with her friends and window shopping. She hates cameras. She doesn't like Mina, but gets along with everyone else in the family.

Chorine (dance) - She is obsessed with dancing. She dances at the same studio as Mara, but in a higher level. She's the rebel of the family. She has a bit of a foul mouth, but really regrets it. She is either at rehearsal, dance, or in her room studying. She enjoys music a lot, and usually has to be yelled for, due to her music being so loud. Her friends at dance are not a very good influence on her, but she does her best to not follow their examples. She doesn't like to read her Bible, but loves praying.
She also works at the ballet studio. In her spare time, she dances.
Description: Long dark brown hair - always tied up, plain brown eyes, 16 years old, 5'2", rather plain looking, dresses in loose clothes that fit over her tights and leotard.
She likes dancing and reading. She dislikes boys. She doesn't like Alexis or Mara, but gets along with everyone else in the family.
