Nick does not specifically describe his appearance in the first chapter of the book, though he does describe his characteristic on how he tries not judge others. He is often seen as quiets towards others, and he is not rich like his friends. No matter, he always tries his best to look after all of his friends, which in the end, seems to backfire.
Tom Buchanan- self centered.
Tom is described as built, strong, and somewhat athletic. Those are the only good qualities of him because his personal characteristics can be described as cocky, self centered, conceited. He always puts his money and his happiness before anyone else, and it ends up hurting not only all his friends, but, later, in a way contributed to the death of Myrtle.
Daisy Buchanan - Annoying
She is described to be Nick's cousin, and also to have a very "sing songy" voice. She constantly is talking throughout the book, even when it is time for her to be quite. She is snoopy in her husbands business when he gets a call, and she tries her best to present herself as happy. I also really did not like her character in the movie. -_-
Jordan Baker - Confident
Jordan in the book is a professional golf player, and is just a friend of the Buchanan's. She does not talk much in the book, though. She tries her hardest to not get involved in all the drama that unfolds throughout the book. At the first chapter, she seems to ignore Nick, and brush him aside like she does not need him.
Jay Gatsby -Sad
You do not see much of Gatsby in the first chapter. The only time you see him is when he is staring longenly at the water and the light as if he wants to go there for some reason. Nick seems to view this as strange, and the encounter with Gatsby has not words and is over within a few seconds.
