Bennet Sisters
Jane Bennet
She is 22 at the start of the novel. The eldest of the Bennet daughters, she is generally considered to be the most beautiful. The depth of her feelings is difficult to discern by outsiders due to her pleasantness to all and her own reserved manner. She is incapable of suspecting the worst of people, seeing only the good.
Elizabeth "Lizzie" Bennet
Elizabeth is the second of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet's five daughters, and is twenty when the story begins. A strong-willed and intelligent young woman, she is her father's favourite and inherits his intelligence and wit. Though she is poor, Lizzie desires above all to marry for love, not for money.
Mary Bennet
The third sister, bookish, plain, and ill at ease in company. She disdains her sisters' frivolous interests and seeks to impress others instead with her scholarly yet ill-timed aphorisms and limited musical abilities.
Catherine "Kitty" Bennet
The irritable fourth sister, 17 years old, who generally follows the lead of her younger sister, Lydia.
"She was not of so ungovernable a temper as Lydia: and, removed from the influence of Lydia's example, she became, by proper attention and management, less irritable, less ignorant, and less insipid."
Lydia Bennet
The youngest sister, 15 when the story begins, Lydia is extremely flirtatious, naive, headstrong and reckless. She is described as being idle and indulging in frivolous pursuits, especially chasing after the officers stationed at Meryton.
