Shrewd, eccentric, charismatic, and unpredictable. He acts like a flashy warlord but has a deeply protective, paternal core when it comes to Brenda.

Sharp-tongued, fiercely independent, athletic, and guarded. She puts up a tough, cynical wall to survive the wasteland but is deeply vulnerable underneath.

Intense, highly alert, deeply stressed, and reactive. He acts first and thinks later. He is heavily burdened by guilt and trauma, and he is deeply suspicious of authority.

Level-headed, weary, intensely loyal, and empathetic. He feels the weight of their situation deeply but maintains a calm, grounded exterior for the sake of the others.

Fierce, protective, sarcastic under pressure, and highly resilient. He hides his exhaustion behind tough bravado and practical thinking.

Melancholic, distant, deeply conflicted, and secretive. She carries a heavy internal sorrow and feels isolated from the other Gladers because they don't share her perspective on WCKD.

Dependable, warm, physically robust, but visibly overwhelmed by the vastness and horror of the outside world. He is a rock for the group when they are at their lowest.
