Sonny is usually goofy and can be a bit childish, and admits to doing things that may seem strange to others. Friendly, sweet, and caring toward those around her, she is known as the nice girl of the group and does her best to help other people with their problems, though her meddling often creates more problems than it solves. She is shown to be talented at singing as well as playing the piano and guitar. Sonny develops an on-and-off rivalry with Chad Dylan Cooper, and they become a couple in season 2. She later breaks up with him due to his selfishness. In the series finale, it is hinted that Sonny still has feelings for him, though the fate of their relationship is left uncertain.

) is a veteran actress and the longest-running ''So Random!'' cast member. Tawni thinks very highly of herself due to her celebrity status, and is very quick to get upset if things do not go her way. In the beginning, Tawni is jealous of Sonny, to the point of stealing all of Sonny's fan mail, but eventually comes to admire and befriend her. As a childhood, she was homeschooled by her strict mother Tammy, who is also her manager. Tawni is the only one who initially knows about Sonny and Chad's mutual feelings for each other, but never mentions it to anyone. As with the rest of the ''So Random!'' cast, she disapproves when Sonny and Chad cement their relationship. In later seasons, Tawni becomes a kinder and more generous person, going out of her way to do favors for Sonny and offer her advice and comfort in her times of need.


Chad Dylan Cooper

) is the star of popular drama series ''Mackenzie Falls''. His attractiveness, talent, and charisma have earned him a devoted fanbase of adoring teenage girls, though in actuality, he is a bratty egomaniac. He has been the arch-rival of the ''So Random!'' cast ever since he mocked their show during his acceptance speech at an awards show, though he quickly develops an admiration for and attraction to Sonny upon meeting her, and later becomes her boyfriend in season 2. Despite his usual selfish and childish behavior, he is shown to be capable of kindness, especially toward Sonny. His relationship with Sonny also helps him develop a better relationship with the cast of ''So Random!''. In "My Two Chads", Sonny breaks up with Chad after learning that he has sent his doppelganger, a stunt double named Chaz Milton Looper, on dates with her that he deems dangerous. They get back together at the end of the episode when Chad overcomes his fear of and inability to ride a bike in order to apologize to her. In "Sonny with a Choice," ''So Random!'' wins the Tween Choice Awards for Best Tween Show, beating ''Mackenzie Falls''. Distraught at losing the category for the first time in his career, Chad orders a recount of the votes (revealing ''Mackenzie Falls'' to be the true winner). Disgusted by Chad's inability to put others before himself and unwillingness to share his spotlight, Sonny breaks up with him for good; however, in "New Girl", it is revealed that he still has feelings for her, and implied that those feelings are mutual. Chad later joins ''So Random!'' after Sonny leaves the show, though still simultaneously stars in ''Mackenzie Falls''.
