Tom Sawyer is observed as a miscreant but in his heart he wants to be good. He plays hooky to go swimming or play games with his best friends like Huckleberry Finn or Joe Harper. Tom is motivated by showing off to get attention and he loves to win, like with the bible at church. Tom didn't really care about learning and mesmerizing the verses of the bible so he traded things he earned when he out-smarted other boys with whitewashing fence for reading passes so he could show off and get a free bible. Tom has a free spirt and is really a good boy, he overwhelms himself with changes like in a flash he changed from being in love with Amy to Becky. He is silly and funny but need to mature a bit before he will be respected by adults.
Huckleberry Finn-
Now Huck Finn is a pretty interesting character. His mother is the town drunk. His father has never been a big part of his life. Huckleberry is pretty much free to do what he pleases. He never gets disciplined and he loves to break rules, Huckleberry never even goes to school! Wearing the patched clothes of a full-grown man Huck will go about town as he pleases causing trouble here and there. He is every mothers worst enemy and every boys best friend. All the children are forbid to see him, but most do. Huck has never had a need to try and be good but when the situation presents itself He wishes he had been a better person. And promises to try.
Aunt Polly-
Aunt Polly is Tom's Aunt and guardian. She has a kind old soul and tries as hard as she can to keep Tom out of trouble. She also tries to outsmart his wily ways. She almost always assumes all mischief and trouble is Toms fault, when Sid broke the sugar bowl she came in the room and hit Tom. Then when she found out it was Sid who broke it she said you probably did something else bad. Aunt Polly is a strong believer in God. She loves her family.
Mary-
Mary is Tom's cousin. She is kind and goodhearted girl. As Aunt Polly's grown up daughter she is the dream child. In church she won two bibles by mesmerizing 4,000 bible verses, she unlike Tom did not cheat. She is loving, caring, sweet, and innocent. She lives with Tom, Sid, and Aunt Polly. Unlike Tom's brother Sid, Mary has a soft spot for Tom's trouble and does her best to keep him out of it.
Sid-
Sid is Tom's brother, also living under Aunt Polly's roof. Unlike Tom, Sid is well behaved like Mary but he constantly tries to get Tom into trouble. Sid never puts up with Tom's mischievousness.
