Romiette is a great person to talk to. She always speaks her mind and doesn't hold it back. She is like the ideal best friend in my perspective. Julio on the other hand has a little temper. He also is a little too over protective and it can get annoying, except to Romiette.
Destiny is very colorful and vibrant.
She likes to stand out and get attention, just like Ben does. He has his own style and he doesn't care what other people think. That's the message you want kids to understand now, that it's OK to be different. The only part that I would change in the book is probably explain about more of Julio's life in Texas. It would just help me, anyway, to understand about all the problems he's had.
