Wasty: If you expected art for this one, I'm sorry to disappoint. There are simply way, way too many characters to place for jokes and the scope of said jokes would be too wide for my side blog.
In terms of stacking up, I don't know exactly what you mean. Moist of them would of course be very similar to one another. The only real stray characters would be Varun and Vanna, Ada and Adamo, and Qali and Tarin, as their genders being flipped would significantly impact the way they grew up.
Ada is a take-no-shit kind of girl, and while that would be reflected in Adamo, Ada is a scrapper, and Adamo is scrappy. As you know, my in-universe yeen culture sees male yeens as the punching bag for their females. So while Ada was treated okay by her parents growing up, Adamo would be treated poorly. Perhaps not on the level of physical abuse, but he'd definitely have things tougher, and being physically weaker overall would see him on the losing end of most fights that he'd get caught up in with a mouth like his. However, he shares the same unflappable sort of personality with his gender-flipped counterpart, and so while his terrible jokes are more likely to get his ass kicked over Ada's, he's not cowardly, he just presses on. He's persistent, which is how he ends up bagging Yuki.
Varun, unlike Vanna, would grow up without any self-image issues. After all, one of Vanna's key insecurities is about her masculine build. For Varun, that same build is a confidence boost. He looks masculine and is male. Varun would have more of Lucero's personality this time around...more comfortable with being loud and relaxed around others. But like Vanna he's still generally quiet until he feels the need to speak. In that way his very in his own head, a very calculating mammal, which is why he makes for a great officer. This makes for an interesting inversion of how Zach and Vanna got together because the pair already had a friction that blossomed into a slow-burn romance. In Varun and Zelda's case, with Zelda taking even more from Audrey...or rather Adrian's emotional side, the pair would be near constantly frustrated with one another. That friction would build and build until they just start passionately kissing in their cruiser in the middle of a particularly fiery argument, directly after insulting each other no less.
Lastly, for this exercise, we have Qali and Tarin. Both would share that same high-energy drive that has them zipping around like one of those vibrating ferret ball toys you used to see at toy stores. However, Tarin's a tod, and he's sort of leaned into the snarky, flirty kinda Romeo that tods can easily slip into being. This keeps him just as pushy as Qali when it comes to winning his mate's heart, in this case Tyra. She's quiet, she's enigmatic and tall...and boy does Tarin love that...both larger girls, and the challenge involved in cracking that enigma.
That said, should these characters meet, I'd imagine Tarin and Qali would kind of hate each other. Qali isn't into tod snark, and Tarin doesn't care for high-energy gals, at least personality-wise. Varun and Vanna would more than likely get along decently, but Varun would probably put Vanna off at times because he's a bit more extroverted and in their initial meeting would probably say some things that might cause some awkward moments between the two. Ada and Adamo however, would get along gangbusters. Adamo would be like the little brother she never had.
As for the other gals, their largely similar personalities would probably either make them instant friends or just put off by the weirdness of it all to connect. Garret and Giselle, Malcolm and Merideth, Mellvin and Honey, I could see them easily slipping into friendships based on their shared interests or talents. Dawn and Don however might have a bit of friction and discomfort because they'd be too caught up in the weirdness of it all to let their guards down. Dawn might also see a lot of Aster in Don, while Don would see much of Acacia (Female Aster) in Dawn...at least physically speaking. And those discomforts might prove to be completely impassable for them.
Thanks for the ask!
