Nick Carraway is simple because he is a middle class man from the West who contrasts with many of his wealthy friends.
Tom Buchanan is aggressive in his personality and his physical appearance. Daisy claimed that since she married a "brute" of a man, he was responsible for bruising her finger. He is also very hot tempered and physical when it comes to dealing with others, for example, when he strikes Myrtle.
Daisy Buchanan is superficial, because first, she marries Tom instead of Jay for financial reasons; second, she is interested in Jay once he acquires money; and third, she retreats back to Tom after the murder of Myrtle seeming to forget that she claimed to have loved Jay.
Jordan Baker is independent because she is an athletic woman. Nick describes her as appearing more masculine that most girls. Also, it is absurd for a woman at her age to be touring the country when she is expected to remain at home with her family.
Jay Gatsby is eccentric in his appearance because he is often noted as wearing outrageous clothes such as a pink suit. His personality is eccentric because he goes to the extent of buying a gigantic home in West Egg simply to reunite with his former love, Daisy.
