Lucas is a brown skinned boy, the grounded realist, and tactical strategist in the group. He combines logic,resourcefulness (like his slingshot.. or what he calls his "wrist-rocket"), and emotional growth as he fights alongside his friends against the forces of the Upside Down. Sinclair acts as the skeptical voice of reason who questions ideas to keep his friends safe. He's also quick to jump into action with plans, makeshift weapons, and physical grit. At first, Lucas wasn't too fond of Eleven when she joined the party, but later grew to warm up to her. Lucas is son to Charles Sinclair, Sue Sinclair, and sister to Erica Sinclair. He rocks a sharp black, clean cut fade with a tight skin fade on the sides of his head with a shaped, structured, flat on flat top.

Dustin is a witty, big-hearted, and scientifically brilliant person in the party. Henderson is clever and resourceful. He had used his love for science and radio tech to decode a Russian message and navigate interdimensional physics. He acts as the emotional glue and mediator when arguments threaten to split up his friends. Dustin is deeply devoted to his friends and loves to "stand" by mentors like Steve Harrington. He's son to Claudia Henderson. Dustin's usual soft brown curls have been slightly more refined and grown out a bit longer. It has a clean slick back with gel and remains 'mature' looking.

Mike is the loyal, strategic, leader of his friend group. He protects those he loves at all costs. Wheeler functions as the connective tissue of the group. When Will had went missing, he refused to give up hope unlike most. He's a planner, can organize his friends, and evaluate worst case scenarios. Mike is son to Ted and Karen, aswell as sister to Nancy. Mike has his black hair longer and shaggier than in his earlier years. It has blunt bangs and soft razor layers.. experimental.

Eleven is very loyal to the party. She's a telekinatic girl who puts her powers to good use. El is humanity's shield from the creatures and forces from the Upside Down. Though, Jane doesn't have the best backstory. She was a lab experiment at Hawkin's Lab, kidnapped as a child by Dr. Martin Brenner and was raised in isolation with the number "011" tattooed on her wrist. Obviously, she has powers which include telekinesis.. The Void.. Jane can enter a sensory deprivation state to telepathically locate people across dimensions. The cost of this power though? They trigger nosebleeds and exhaustion if she uses a bunch of energy. Jane is protective and always goes by the "friends don't lie" rule the party had made so she constantly risks her life for her friends. Eleven is socially stunned, given the fact she grew up in Hawkin's Lab and lacks most basic vocabulary and social skills. El is now daughter to Jim Hopper. She has her light brown hair to shoulder length, styled in a messy, short shag with piece-y bangs across her forehead.

Mayfield is a tough, street-smart, and fiercely independent new member of the group who evolves from a guarded person into the emotional heart of the group. She battles heavy trauma and the Upside Down's supernatural forces. She hides her vulnerability behind a sharp tongue and sarcasm. Maxine is independent and refuses to be coddled by the boys. Once she lets people in, she stands by them. Mayfield is daughter to Susan and Sam Mayfield. She's step daughter to a violent man named Neil Hargrove and step sister to Billy Hargrove. Max keeps her ginger hair pulled into two loose, messy braids with a few natural wisps and bangs framing her face.

Will is a quiet, artistic boy who had gotten trapped in the Upside down when he was a younger kid.. around 11 or 12. The deep link he had with it causes him fear and pain as he tries to grow up with his friends. Will cares a lot about his friends, loves playing games like Dungeons and Dragons, and has a deep passion for art. Will can also be sensitive. When some of his friends start dating and changing, he feels left out as he wants things to stay the same. He can also be brave, fighting hard against evil forces with his body and mind. Will is son to Joyce and brother to Jonathan. Will still keeps his brown bowl cut, but just shorter.

Steve, during the earlier years, was an arrogant high-school bully but has now evolved into a protector, ally, the "babysitter", and big brother to the kids in the group. He used to be "King Steve" at Hawkin's High and date Nancy Wheeler, but soon rejects his toxic friend group after recognizing his own faults. He rocks a well kept brown wavy mullet style with plenty of proud movement.

Robin is a fast talking and charmingly awkward person. She uses fast-paced speech patterns with smart observations and humor. She's also gifted at languages. Robin also has formed a platonic relationship with Steve from sharing close calls and dealing with danger together.

Jim is the gruff chief of police who evolves from a grief-stricken loner, to a self sacrificing father figure. Earlier in life, Hopper was an emotionally closed off, smoking alcoholic numb to life following the death of his daughter Sarah and fall of his marriage. He had treated his job as an inconvenience before the Will had disappeared. Later on, he undergoes a massive emotional awakening, mostly driven by his choice to secretly adopt and raise Eleven.
