Lizzy (a year or two younger than Jane)

Clever, spirited; can be sharp-tongued. Gets flustered, which makes her klutzy. Prides herself on good judgment. Not especially beautiful.

Mr. Darcy (Late 30s-40s)

One of the richest men in England. Too proper for his own good; awkward in most social contexts. Prides himself on self-control and good judgment.

Mr. Bingley (Late 30s-40s)

Loves the world and the world loves him. Mr. Darcy’s particular friend. Almost literally a dog. Doubles with Mary – The third Bennet girl. Bit of a monster; prone to pedanticism and sulking. May double with Bingley. A dark goth Bronte character trapped in an Austen world.

Mr. Collins (any age)

A pedantic, obtuse man. Rector to Lady Catherine. Doubles with WICKHAM – An unfairly handsome and charming gentleman; raised with Darcy, and with MISS BINGLEY – a very rich young woman. Fancies herself witty.
