Here are the three main characters:
June: She is an insane 19 year old girl who spent half her life living in a cave and stealing food from the local super market. June’s boyfriend tried to kill her but she pulled a knife on him before he could do anything. She killed her abusive boyfriend when she pulled a knife on him which she wants to keep a secret. June has tan skin, red eyes and long brown hair.
Juliet: She is a mean, evil, manipulitive girl who looks innocent on the outside. Although she seems popular, she’s not. Juliet is related to Janet and June Byers. She tries to hide the fact that she wants a normal family but however, cannot get the wish. Juliet has short, blonde hair with red eyes and tan skin. She is 16 years old.
Janet: She is probably the least developed of the three. Janet is protective of her older sister, Juliet. Janet is an archer who secretly owns a gun. She has medium length brown hair which is short in the back and long in the front, red eyes and tan skin. Janet is 15 years old.

Which Character Should Die First?
Posted on February 25, 2012.
Juliet.
And Janet should be the one who kills her. Accidently or not. Now THAT’s a nice twist (:
You should always kill off the least developed character first. That way the audience knows one of their favorite characters could be next, so they will continue reading.
June lived in a cave and stole form the local supermarket? How many caves have local supermarkets???
Kill them all I say.
I think June should because Janet sounds nice and she cares about Juliet
June
Is it intentional that all your characters have names beginning with J? Be aware that this might be confusing for casual readers and put them off, detracting from your story.
Why does any of them have to die? You haven’t told us this.
Nobody has red eyes unless you’re writing an anime or a fantasy.
And why would an archer have a gun? They’re very different skill sets. Maybe make it an automatic crossbow.
If you want to shock your reader into continuing, kill off the MOSTdeveloped, the one that they will like the most. It’s risky but if you’re brave and have confidence in your writing skills for the rest of the novel it’ll work better than killing off the most expendable first. If you show the reader that the story is unpredictable, you already have a one-up on most other writers out there.
Good luck!
