She is five "almost six" years old in the Kindergarten adventures, and six years old in the first grade. In Kindergarten, her two best friends are Lucille and Grace. In first grade, her best friends are Herb, Jose, Shirley, Clifton, Matt, and Lennie. Junie B. has two rivals throughout the series, a boy named Jim in kindergarten and a girl named May in first grade. In kindergarten, her classroom is Room Nine, and in First Grade, Room One. Junie B.'s favorite foods are spaghetti and meatballs, lemon pie, and ice cream. She has many catchphrases, such as "Wowie wow wow!", "Yeah, only", and "Hello! How are you today?". She is afraid of roosters because she thinks "they can peck your head into a nub", ponies because she thinks "they can stomple you to the ground and kill you", and clowns because she thinks "they are not normal people."
Robert "Bob" Jones is Junie B. and Ollie's lovable father, whom Junie B. calls "Daddy." He takes Junie B. to the beauty shop with him in Junie B. Jones is a Beauty Shop Guy, where she causes a disaster. In Junie B. First Grader, One Man Band, he teaches Junie B. to juggle. Robert is said to be playful and silly around his daughter.
Susan Jones is Junie B. and Ollie's protective mother,, whom Junie B. calls "Mother." Since Junie B. loves ice cream, Susan made a rule at the grocery store that Junie B. can't shout "I WANT ICE CREAM!"

Oliver "Ollie" Jones is Junie B.'s baby brother. He is born in Junie B. Jones and the Little Monkey Business. In Junie B. First Grader, BOO! And I Mean It, he is said to be ten months old in the month of October, so he is probably born in December. Junie B. dislikes her brother, and they have somewhat of a sibling rivalry. However, she does show that she cares for him sometimes, like in Junie B First Grader, Toothless Wonder where Junie B. concludes that Ollie's first tooth was the baby tooth Junie B. lost, and she smiles at him.
Frank Miller is Junie B.'s grandfather, or as she calls him, Grampa Miller. Grampa Miller, along with his wife, Helen Miller, babysits for her and her brother while their parents are at work. Junie B. calls Grampa Miller her "favoritest babysitter 'cause he doesn't even follow the 'structions!"
Helen Miller is Junie B.'s grandmother, Grandma Miller. Grandma Miller also babysits for Junie B. and her brother on occasion. Junie B. often calls her grandmother by her first name, Helen, much to the woman's annoyance.

In which Ricardo tells her that they should start "chasing other people" and leaves, much to Junie B's dismay. Ricardo also wants to be a construction worker when he grows up.
Paulie Allen Puffer is a kid in Junie B.'s kindergarten class that often tells her scary or funny stories which she always believes are true. In "Junie B.

Mr. Scary is Junie B.'s first grade teacher and current teacher. She believes that he made up his name because he is actually very nice and "doesn't scare her hardly". He makes his class keep journals, where they write about whatever subjects they want. Mr. Scary often has to break up Junie B. and May's arguments. He can also be very firm when Junie B. and May tattle on each other.
Principal is the principal at Junie B's school who she believes lives in his office. She refers to him only as "Principal" They get to know each other pretty well during the kindergarten series since Junie B's antics often wind up getting her sent to the office. Junie B does not like to go to his office because there is a "scary typing lady" in there that is somewhat mean and always "forces" her to sit in a blue chair which she says is "where bad kids have to sit". Her mom eventually made a rule at home that getting hersefl sent to the office would get her "grounded, young lady".
