Rose is OK. In RMF she's 10 years old, she's just had a parental split, a dead mother and aunt, she's left her home to move miles away, lost touch with grandmother, and got a new stepmother. She's entitled to be not at her best. Especially as she is perhaps not really convinced that her mother is dead (Uncle Gerry finds it easy enough to persuade her it's not true). By RAH, she seems a fairly nice ordinary but perhaps colourless child.
Edwin - wants to do the right thing, doesn't know how. He's from a different world to the Marlows. But remember it's Kay that more or less forces Mrs. Marlow to let them stay at Trennels, Edwin was willing to rent a house or commute; and it's Kay who leans on Mrs. Tranter to get out so they can have the house - Edwin didn't seem to know about that until Rowan sprung it on the family. I think if the Marlow children hadn't been so down on him from the start, they'd have been OK.
Fob - very irritating child, but Peter likes her, so I'll trust his judgement. I think I'd take Nicola's side if I knew her, though. Probably a very interesting person to know if you didn't have any responsibility for her.
Chas - seems to have the same personality as his puppy. I like him, but I'm sure he could get wearing after a time.
