Feedback on character design for new characters

[Stargazer31]

I've got some character designs for characters in a satirical high school comic I plan to make. All of the characters are parodies of high school cliches, and any feedback would be appreciated.
From left to right:
Bubbles is a cheerful girl-next-door, who is careful and sensible, this making her unpopular, since she goes to clown college
Chuckles is the son of a fast food CEO. He's humourous and good natured, yet a little clueless.
Sparkles is the most popular and foolish girl in school. She's a scheming mean-queen with no good points, because we obviously can't have sympathetic villains
Trixie is a jester. She is a tomboy and a class clown, and she has a sense of humour that revolves around puns
Claudette is a moody, gothic mime, who is incredibly shy, leading her to hide herself away in an invisible box.
Marcell is an artsy mime, who likes art films and classical music. He's "not like the other boys", and has a crush on Claudette

In general, they all look really nice. The only problems I can really point out is now inconsistent the art style is, but that’s something that’ll be improved upon as you draw the comic. I think the colors could be a bit brighter, though, however, as they look very nice but a bit dull

I don't really see the "inconsistency" in art all too much, I think maybe it just comes down to practice in improving line art which will come down to experience. Maybe looking at references just to smooth out certain things, hands are near-universally tough, maybe general consistency/symmetry in limbs or proportions. I should mention that a tip I find helpful is mirroring my images just to quickly catch any imperfections.
I agree with the colors. Especially in some sort of clown world, at least the bright, bubbly characters deserve a little more punch and vibrancy to compliment them.

I think based on your descriptions, your characters are pretty effective/apparent in their clichés. I'm intrigued in how you will implement your satirical elements, as I think a satire especially will ultimately have some more reliance on writing, imo, more so than other works. It might require some more thought and self-awareness. But thus far, interesting
