Japanese words for family in a story
I know that in Japanese there are different words for relatives when you talk about your own family or someone else's family.
But what if I'm writing a story from the third-person perspective and describing my protagonist's family?
For example, "Her name is ... . She lives with her mother, father and younger brother." Should I use 母, 父, 弟, or お母さん, お父さん, 弟さん?

It depends on how you tell the story, but usually, 母/母親 、父/父親、弟. 母 and 母親 are almost same but 母親 sounds slightly objective more. When you tell taste like familiar or casual , It might be お母さん、お父さん、弟.
