Description
Quark girls are a type of quantum elemental discovered in the late 60s after it was found that the enormous pantheon of supposed "hadron elementals" were in reality just the same three girls wearing cheap disguises. This is much unlike the electron elemental who was very laid-back and friendly to researchers. Here are the quarks that constitute the proton: two up quarks and a single down quark confined in a field of color charge.Quarks are fermions and therefore quite fashion-conscious: while two up quark twin sisters coexist in a single proton, they do not want to be seen sporting identical looks. To avoid this faux pas they adopt different spin states: spin-up (a ponytail) or spin-down (loose hair). This is the same way that two electrons can coexist in the same orbitals without annoying each other. Since quarks are spin-1/2 particles those are the only two hairstyles they know and attempts to get them to wear cornrows or The Rihanna were been fruitless.
The up quark and down quark are the lightest and most stable of the "up-like" and "down-like" quark generations. Heavier ones such as the strange, charm, top and bottom quarks do not stick around very much but most of the properties can be inferred by the behavior of their little sisters.
Quarks are a doublet under SU(2) weak interaction, which means their hair can be straight (as seen in the up-like quarks and neutrinos) or curly (as seen in the down-like quarks and the electron) which gives them either positive or negative electric charge. They are also a triplet under SU(3) color symmetry, they can have three different colors: red green and blue. They can freely change their color by exchanging gluons with their companions provided that all three colors remain represented. Each quark has a boyfriend, collectively known as the "antiquarks" who are similar in many ways but transform under the complex conjugate of the SU(3) matrix meaning their colors are cyan, magenta and yellow. While three quarks are required for a color-neutral state, a quark only needs to pair up with her boyfriend to achieve the same state. While quarks and antiquarks were equally plentiful in the wild dating scene of the early universe, charge parity symmetry violation has resulted in most of the antiquarks disappearing, much to the quarks' chagrin.
They are by far the most social of the quantum elementals, never found alone they instead live mostly in tightly-knit groups of three called "baryons", the most common of which are the proton (two up quarks and a down quark) and the neutron (two down quarks and an up quark) although they can also be found in shorter-lived housing arrangements with heavier quarks such as exotic baryons and hyperons. Even if a quark is forcefully separated from her friends, the energy required to do so will be enough to cause her boyfriend to spontaneously appear to provide emotional support, forming a bonded quark-antiquark state known as a "Meson" in particle physics or a "relationship" in conventional speak. Upon learning this scientists have enjoyed pairing different elementals together to form mismatched couples between quarks of different flavors or even superposed states of two or more quarks, leading to the creation of a huge number of exotic mesons which are over in a flash. Not all is dire in the relationship area, however, as when baryons are grouped into atoms the quarks are able to take virtual walks with their partners in what's known as the residual strong force.
Quarks exhibit many other strange properties like being highly energetic (with 90% of the mass-energy of a nucleon coming from the girls' workouts, partying and daily activities rather than their bodily rest mass) and being able to master the energy of the vacuum in order to summon W+ and W- bosons to change their flavor. Heavier quarks are even stranger and thought to be able to resonate with the Higgs field to produce excitations or even with supersymmetric particles.
They themselves are unaware of whether they are made of any sub-components and have no patience for getting superstring theory explained to them. However, they seem to have some childhood memories of the time before electroweak symmetry breaking, when they were all massless beings of light under the watch of a mysterious motherly being.

That's why I made three. One down and two up.

i guess ,the blue and the green one are the up quarks and the down quark is the red one.

i mean... it`s not that obvious. if they had something more.. uplifting.

one suggestion is making their direction more obvious by where they are wearing their clothes.
you can either draw them with shoulder pads and generally draw them with clothing from the belly and up (my recommendation is with armor) while the down quarks will be more dress from the belly and down (like the skirt but more eye-catching.)
but you can also take the arrow route in which you make them look like arrows where you can do the exact opposite of what i said (the up quarks are dressed on the bottom and the down quarks on the top) giving them the appearance of a pointing arrow.

I don't want to get too literal with the "upness" and "downness" of the quarks since those are arbitrary names rather than actual quantum properties.
The actual underlying difference between uplike and downlike quarks besides their mass is their electric charge (which I represent by the straightness or waviness of their hair) their weak isospin, which is represented by their outfits. This helps with including the leptons in the theme.

Then maybe you can make one of these characteristics more eye catching.

Can't be too far from what Cells at Work is doing, i.e. giving science subjects humanizing aspects+personalities and making learning about them actually fun.
So, if biological cells are factory workers, and physics particles are party divas, all we need now is a show about how chemicals are stock market traders and we have ourselves a franchise XD
