That would seem a bit easy by previous question 19 standards...but may be correct.

Who is the 4th character?

1. Could be a bit topical, because if you're born on 31st August then you'll be the youngest in year group at school, and research shows it;s a disadvantage, but if it's 1st September you'll be the oldest, which is an advantage.

 So maybe 31st August
