Jessi moved to Stoneybrook from Oakely, New Jersey at the beginning of the sixth grade, coincidentally into Stacey's old house. She has an eight-year-old sister called Rebecca or "Becca," and a baby brother named John Phillip Ramsey Jr., better known as "Squirt."
Jessi is incredibly talented at ballet, and when she grows up she wants to become a professional ballet dancer. She has been doing ballet since she was four, and was admitted into a special ballet school in Stamford. She has had the lead role in several productions at that school. In book #115, Jessi's Big Break, she had an opportunity to join the Dance New York programme and study ballet under David Brailsford for 3 1/2 weeks. Toward the end of the story, she was also given a chance to join the Dance New York programme full time, but she decided to accept it when she was a little older.

!!Kristy Thomas
Full name Kristin Amanda Thomas. Founded the club in the first book ''Kristy's Great Idea'', and became the President, renowned for having an endless stream of "great ideas" (including the Kid-Kits, and many one-off events such as the Mother's Day Surprise, the various day camps they ran, and so on). Her father ran out on the family when she was very young, and in ''Kristy's Big Day'', her mother got remarried to "real live millionaire", Watson Brewer. Tomboyish and sporty, Kristy founded a kid's softball team for many of their sitting charges in ''Kristy and the Walking Disaster''. In later books, she had a bit of a romance with the coach of the Krushers' rival team, Bart of Bart's Bashers.
* ControlFreak: On the one hand, Kristy's organization and strong personality allow the club to run smoothly and let the girls accomplish many things that pre-teen girls would often find difficult. On the other hand, she can sometimes run too tight a ship — she has a special glare for members who show up one minute late to a club meeting!
* CoolBigSis: Is seen this way by her stepsister Karen.

* FanNickname: K Ron.

!!Claudia Lynn Kishi
Vice-president of the club, by virtue of being the only one with her own private phone line. Additionally, her junk food habit meant that she always had snacks stashed in her bedroom that the other girls could eat during their meetings. Artistic, flighty, and [[BookDumb hopeless at school]], Claudia defied the "model minority" stereotype to an extent. Her family was very conservative, and she often felt as though she was being compared unfavorably to her genius older sister, Janine. She had many casual boyfriends, but few serious ones. In ''Claudia Kishi, Middle School Dropout'', she was pushed back to the seventh grade, only to be returned to the eighth grade with her friends in ''Claudia Makes Up Her Mind''.

!!Mary Anne Spier
The secretary of the club, as she was extremely organized and had very neat handwriting. Was raised by her father, her mother having passed away when she was very young. In early books, her father Richard was very strict, but he gradually loosened up as time passed. She was Kristy's next-door neighbor before Kristy's move, and throughout most of the books is her ShrinkingViolet best friend. She was the first of the club members to have a steady boyfriend, club associate officer Logan Bruno, who she meets in ''Logan Likes Mary Anne''. Becomes step-sisters with Dawn in ''Mary Anne and the Great Romance''.

!!Stacey [=McGill=]
Full name Anastasia Elizabeth [=McGill=]. Originally from New York City, she moved to Stoneybrook when her father was transferred. Frequently described as chic, sophisticated and "boy-crazy", Stacey, like Claudia, had many boyfriends but few long-lasting relationships. She was the treasurer of the club, as she had a gift for mathematics. She moved back to New York in ''Goodbye, Stacey, Goodbye'' when her father was transferred back, but returned to Stoneybrook in ''Welcome Back, Stacey'' when her parents divorced, and her mother decided that she preferred living in the small-town environment. Frequent attention is paid to the fact that she is diabetic, and she is hospitalized multiple times throughout the series. She quit the club to spend more time with other friends in ''Stacey vs. the BSC'', but she rejoins in ''Stacey and the Bad Girls''.

!!Dawn Read Schafer
Introduced in ''Mary Anne Saves the Day'', Dawn is the alternate officer of the club. Originally from California, Dawn moves to her mother's hometown of Stoneybrook when her parents divorce. She becomes fast friends with Mary Anne, which makes Kristy extremely jealous. She is identified throughout the series as being a very casual, individual health-food nut, though this was retooled in later books to place the emphasis more on environmental activism and strict vegetarianism, rather than simply being into health food. Her mother and Mary Anne's father marry in ''Mary Anne and the Great Romance''. Later in the series, she grows increasingly homesick, and moves back to California to live with her dad and younger brother in ''Dawn's Big Move''.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In early books, Dawn is into health food and "prefers" to not eat red meat, but still eats chicken and fish. In later books, she is a strict vegetarian.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Shows a dose of this in ''Mary Anne's Makeover'', in which she admits that she's jealous of all the time Mary Anne's been spending with her father and that it makes her miss her own terribly. Dawn comes off as being resentful of Mary Anne for having her father around, apparently forgetting that he is Mary Anne's only living parent.
* EmbarrassingMiddleName: Read.
* EmbarrassingNickname: "Sunshine". In part embarrassing, because it's also her California best friend's full first name.
* GranolaGirl
* HairOfGold
* InformedAttribute: Dawn is usually described as being the "individual" of the group, but at times she changes herself to attract boys. For instance, in ''Dawn and the Older Boy'', she cuts her hair so a boy will like it better.

First introduced in ''The Truth About Stacey'' as a ten year old client, she is invited to join the club at age eleven in ''Hello, Mallory!'', after Stacey moves back to New York. The oldest of eight kids, Mallory is described as very responsible with children. Despite this, at first the club is hesitant to let her join because of her age, making her do a number of difficult tests before finally relenting and letting her and her best friend Jessi join the club. As she is the only one in her family with red hair, glasses and braces, Mallory often feels unattractive and an ongoing plot arc of hers was trying to convince her parents to let her spice up her look with contacts, pierced ears, and a new wardrobe. She is forced to leave the club for a while when she comes down with mononucleosis in ''Get Well Soon, Mallory''. She rejoins the club in ''Kristy and the Copycat'', but then leaves for good in ''The All-New Mallory Pike'' when she leaves for boarding school.

The final SixthRanger, taking over after Dawn left and DemotedToExtra as soon as ''Friends Forever'' started up. Abby moved with her mom and twin sister, Anna, from Long Island to Kristy's neighborhood in part for her mom to distance herself from Abby's father's death.
