Donna Major is known by several aliases, including The Mommy, The Donna, Honey, and Yes Ma’am.  She is the ringleader of the Housewife Mafia. 

Shea Conner does not consider herself part of the HWM, but her inclusion is obvious to everyone else.  She disapproves of almost everything she hears the other women say and pretends to be dismayed by what goes on around her. 

Joanne Peppers is a neighbor and trusted advisor to The Donna.  She is the brains of the Housewife Mafia.  The husbands and children of the neighborhood know that her opinions and ideas are extremely influential. 

Rachel Sells is a quiet and lonely housewife who comes over to The Donna’s house often.  She is sullen and introverted, but finds activity with the HWM uplifting.
