Geller-Bings
Erica
A mechanic. Dependable, has her life together, so her apartment is still the favoured place to hang out. Sarcastic, has a low tolerance for nonsense.
- Brutal Honesty: Prone to this, with Emma or Jack on the receiving end.
- Deadpan Snarker: Not to the same extent as her brother, but she did inherit some snark from her father.
- Determinator: Very little can stand in her way. She's making a name for herself in a male-dominated field, entirely unbothered.
- The Finicky One: "TOW Alabaster's Date" makes it clear that the cousins think of her as this, at least sometimes.
- Go-Getter Girl: See Determinator above!
- Informed Judaism: Her and Jack were raised Jewish, but it doesn't come up often.
- Like Mother, Like Daughter: Thankfully, Monica didn't turn out like her own mother. But she has more in common with Erica than Erica would like to admit.
- Only Sane Man: Only sane woman. She is often the voice of reason.
- The Reliable One: Always.
- Tomboy and Girly Girl: The tomboy to Emma's girly-girl.
- Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl: Shades of this with her brother.
Jack
A coffee boy for a law firm. Relaxed, just wants to enjoy life. Deeply sarcastic, though he has a good heart.
- All Work vs. All Play: The latter, Ben being the former. They have the same position in the same company, and Jack is content with it, though Ben isn't.
- Book Smart: He has a classics degree!
- Brilliant, but Lazy: Is he intelligent? Yes. Does he reeeeally want to do anything with it other than snark? No.
- Deadpan Snarker: Like his father before him, Jack is DEFINITELY this.
- Hates Being Alone: If he'd rather live in a walk-in closet in Honey and Judas' apartment than get his own place...
- Informed Judaism: The same as Erica.
- Mellow Fellow: Rarely fazed by anything.
- Nice Guy: Despite his constant teasing, he clearly cares for his family.
- One-Hour Work Week: Though he has the exact same job as Ben, he's never seen taking 'work calls'. Which does make sense, considering they're coffee boys.
- Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl: With Erica.
- Straight Gay: He's less likely to be thought of as gay than his father, by stereotypical standards.
Geller-Greens
Ben
A coffee boy for the same law firm as Jack. Hard-working, responsible, a voice of reason. Very protective, being the oldest.
- All Work vs. All Play: The former, Jack being the latter. Ben is unsatisfied with his career position, desperate to move up the ladder.
- Book Smart: Of course.
- Dysfunctional Family: If Ross and Susan's relationship is still as it was in his childhood...
- Insistent Terminology: A lawyer, not a coffee boy!
- No-Respect Guy: Well, it’s mostly Honey and Emma that don't respect him, but the others get a few cracks about his job. Yet, Jack doesn’t get the same treatment, likely because he doesn’t care.
- Sibling Rivalry: With Emma, often.
- Straight Man: Always, unless he's taking himself too seriously.
Emma
A bartender, as of the first episode, recently returned from Paris. Spoiled, overly dependent. Intelligent, but lacking practical skills and common sense.
- Brainless Beauty: Though not completely brainless...
- Genius Ditz: She has a chemistry degree, but completely lacks common sense.
- Lethal Chef: Well, lethal mixologist, judging by "TOW Alabaster's Date".
- Rich in Dollars, Poor in Sense: Despite her parents' attempts to teach her better. She still needed a reality check, the same as Rachel.
- Sibling Rivalry: With Ben, often.
- Spoiled Brat: She's reliant on her parents' money, and can't believe it when she's told she has to make it on her own. No one else is surprised.
Tribbianis
Sofia
Sexy, sharp-tongued, but knows when to play innocent. A girl of many talents and a few careers. A model, working as a bartender on the side.
- Brutal Honesty: From the beginning, but done with love.
- Deadpan Snarker: Often. She is Chandler's step-niece, after all!
- Good Bad Girl: Kind and loving... But also hypersexual and potentially kinky.
- Lovable Sex Maniac: One of her very first lines is about Auto Erotica!
- Really Gets Around: Almost always has company over. Mia fears finding a man in her shower again.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: With Honey, it would seem. They steal things together, Sofia taught her Italian, but they still snipe at each other.
