The Capulets
Juliet - young girl, barely 13, feisty, knows her worth, easily wooed, easy to manipulate, stubborn, and impatient.
Lord Capulet - Juliet's father. Kind and caring at first, wanting only what his daughter wants. As play progresses, he seems to think he knows what's best for his daughter.
Lady Capulet - Juliet's mother. Not a real crucial role for her in the play. Stands by her husband and is so so impressed that young Juliet will be getting married to such a great guy :) (read: sarcasm)
Tybalt - Prince of Cats. He is fire-tongued, good with words, and a fireball. He really just likes to fight. Dies because Romeo kills him for killing Mercutio.
The Montagues
Romeo - Easy lover, kind of depressing, is heartbroken over Rosaline but forgets her literally 3 hours later. Smooth talker, probably more of a lover than a fighter. Would probably write poetry and cry a lot.
Lord Montague - Not a role we see often throughout the play.
Lady Montague - Same. We hear from her when she is upset that Romeo is sleeping too much and wandering around crying.
Mercutio - Romeo's best friend. He's wild, unpredictable, and wants everyone to have fun.
Benvolio - Inherently good. Hates fighting. Wants everyone to get along.

The Prince and the Friar are both neutral roles. They are on neither side.
