Thomas: He is a blend of impulsiveness, inquisitiveness, loyalty, and a rebellious nature. He is intelligent, quick-witted, and not one to blindly follow rules, often acting on instinct and challenging authority to discover the truth for himself. While this makes him a reluctant leader, his deep sense of responsibility and courage to take action for others, even at great risk

Newt: He is loyalty, courage, and compassion, often serving as a voice of reason and a source of stability for the Gladers. He is intelligent, kind, and fair, with a strong commitment to his friends and the order of their community. Despite his difficult past and a personal tragedy leading to a profound sadness and eventual sacrifice, he remains a resilient and selfless figure, often described as the "glue" that holds the group together.

Minho: He is intelligent, agile, and a natural leader with a sarcastic sense of humor and a strong-willed, loyal personality. He is incredibly brave, resourceful, and a skilled navigator of the deadly Maze, trusting his intuition and experience. Though sometimes confrontational and quick to anger, he is a devoted friend, always willing to take responsibility for his mistakes.

Teresa: She is intelligent, brave, and self-confident, but her personality becomes controversial due to her eventual betrayal of Thomas and the other Gladers to serve WICKED's goals. Her actions are often driven by a strong belief in WICKED's mission to find a cure for the Flare virus, a devotion stemming from her traumatic past and a desire to prevent others from suffering as she did. Despite this, she also shows loyalty and deep care for Thomas

Alby: He is harsh and short-tempered. As one of the first Gladers, his extensive experience gave him authority, yet he also demonstrated moments of vulnerability and kindness, offering to step down for the group's safety. After undergoing the "Changing," he shifts to a withdrawn state, haunted by the bleakness of the outside world, which ultimately leads to his self-sacrifice to protect the Glade from a world he could not bear to face

Chuck: He is loyalty, kindness, and desire to fit in, often using silly humor and pranks to cope with the Glade's harsh realities. Though initially underestimated as a mere "Greenie," he displays bravery and ultimately makes a loyal, self-sacrificing act for Thomas.
