Ricky is the stereotypical 'bad kid'. He vandalises, steals, and commits other crimes. Bella's the cool, loving auntie that can look past Rickys past. Hec's the quiet, scary uncle that juxtaposes the fun aunt.

assuming someone like ricky for example, will always do bad things and cant do good things.

These characterisations have a very large impact on the audience, as it causes the audience to start creating assumptions as to what the characters are like, and how they will behave. -L.N

Ricky is being portrayed as the 'gangsta' kid. Like a gangster, he vandalises, steals, and commits all sorts of other petty crimes that gangsters and troubled youth are known to commit. Bella is being portrayed as that loving aunt, that's maybe a bit too affectionate, and often tries to make situations better by cracking jokes that might offend some people. One great example of this is when she first meets Ricky, and tries to ease the tension of the situation by cracking a 'joke' which, when you take a closer look at it, you can straightaway see why it might offend some people.

'Whoo! You're a big fella! Who ate the guy who ate all the pies, eh?'

Uncle Hec meanwhile, is being portrayed as that mysterious, quiet, creepy stranger who kids are often warned not to go near. He is also being portrayed as though he is quite dangerous, and he is someone that you should not try to talk to. -L.N

By assuming Uncle Hec is a dangerous stranger who shouldn't be approached, it creates a feeling of suspicion and distrust surrounding him. This can in turn lead to people choosing not to hang out around him, or staying a good distance away from him whenever he approaches, or sometimes even both. -L.N

they give us some basis to start our understanding and view on the characters -anna H

The protagonist is Ricky Baker, while the antagonist appears to be Uncle Hec. However I do believe that Uncle Hec's role in the story will change, and he will eventually no longer be the antagonist. -L.N

ricky is stereotyped as a 'troubled' 'rebel' kid, portrayed by his clothing and his not so great past with small crime.

bella gives the vibes of someone who loves to love but gos to fast with ricky, not giving him time and hugging him as soon as he gets there witch ricky docent seem to like, this clashes with ricky who is closed of and cold.

people who share 1 characteristic are not the same person, so if you treat them like they are the same despite the other parts of that person and their backstory, you will very likely just cause more pain and hurt. -anna H
