The early names of the four lead characters were reported as "Troy", "Chrissie", "Raven" and "Pierce". Later the girls' names were subsequently changed, with "Chrissie" eventually becoming "Larke", and "Raven" eventually being renamed "Bianca."
Almost every line of the Radley character is copied from the Michelangelo character from the 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'.
