Nick Carraway Polite to others and always seems very aware of what’s going on. Was not as judgmental as the others.

  Tom Buchanan He is very fit and shape, with large muscles, an athletic person. Had an aggressive demeanor in some ways. Also, was very forceful in the ways when he would speak to other people. Untrustworthy, since he had another woman.

  Daisy Buchanan Seemed very charming to others, chatty, has blonde hair, tries to ignore the lies that surround her.

  Jordan Baker Charming and very polite, was very chatty, dark brown hair. Also involved in what is going on in other people’s lives.
