Amy Walker is the oldest and has taken on the role of the hero or the golden child. She works hard to try and be good at everything she loves: drawing, painting, singing, dancing, and more. She's responsible, often caring for her younger sisters whenever her dad is at work or gone for a business trip. Spoiler alert, he's almost always working or on a business trip. That means that a lot of pressure is on her shoulders to try and keep her family together and mostly happy.
The second role is known as the scapegoat, and Jackie Walker fits that role perfectly. She often acts out, at school and at home, and takes out everything she feels on those around her as she continues to take the blame for everything that goes wrong. Sometimes she acts out to try and take any focus off of the problems within their household, thus making herself the problem instead. It isn't always intentional, but sometimes it is.
Rachel Walker often finds herself fitting in the box of the lost child, or the invisible child. She follows the rules and tries to fly under the radar, not wanting to upset anyone. She excels academically and helps her sisters with their school work, so that she and they won't need to ask for anything. However, this often leads to her being ignored by her father and lonely at school and home.
The last role is the mascot, or the class clown, and Jo fits that role. She is the youngest child, which is typical of this role. She is well liked and relatively outgoing, making her popular at her school. She's a bit of a prankster, often targeting adults as a way to get back at them and to make her peers laugh. Her humor, her pranks, and her sarcasm, are often a defense mechanism.
