The gang members (ltr): Two-Bit, Sodapop, Ponyboy, Dally, Johnny, Darry, Steve

There are 7 main members at the start of the story:

Johnny and Dallas die during the course of the story, leaving only 5 members.

When two members of the gang, Dallas Winston (second) and Johnny Cade (first), die on the same day, everyone is devastated.

Johnny Cade was considered the gang's "pet", because he is scared and quiet in most situations and the others look to protect him. Sodapop is perhaps the most compassionate and the one the others can talk to and bring their problems. Steve is Soda's best friend and the two of them are inseparable. Steve can often come off as cocky but he is also fiercely loyal to the group. Two-Bit is the "joker" of the group because he is often times making wise cracks and goofing off. Other times he can be serious and show a good deal of intelligence. Darrel is considered the unofficial leader because he is the strongest, oldest, and tries to be an older brother figure to the others. Ponyboy is the sensitive one who is the "kid" of the group and is more artistically inclined and has little interest in violence. Dallas was the most aggressive one in the gang and the most willing to fight or cause trouble. He is the only one to ever really show any criminal behavior and has already been to prison. He is hauled in whenever a crime is committed in the area and has a long police record.
