Anne with an E

Anne Shirley-Cuthbert: An exceptional reader and writer, with an extensive vocabulary. She is short-tempered and can act impulsively at times. Anne can experience flashbacks when something hits close to her past trauma. She's curious and could talk your ear off. Anne's heart is a heart of gold. Throughout the series, Anne is constantly trying to gain the approval of her adoptive parents, her classmates and the townspeople of Avonlea. Despite her desire to please, Anne has a great deal of personal integrity, and this unadulterated honesty can often get her into big trouble.

Anne is passionate about life and has the gift of seeing beauty in the most mundane things. Her imagination is boundless and openly displayed by her creative tales and writing. Anne is also an avid reader. Her vocabulary is well above that of her peers, and this, as well as her skill in other academics, is a point of pride for her.

Yet, for all of her skills and accomplishments, Anne harbours deep insecurities due to her early upbringing. The instability of her life in the orphanage and being passed around from home to home has made her terrified of rejection. Regardless of her less-than-ideal beginnings, Anne is an optimist.

As a child, Anne passes judgment quickly and is reluctant to change her mind once she has made a decision. Anne loves and hates with equal intensity. She believes her friendship with Diana Barry and rivalry with Gilbert Blythe will last a lifetime. "How can there be anything wrong with a life if it's spent with a person you love?"

"It's not what the world holds for you, it's what you bring to it."

"Sometimes life hides gifts in the darkest of places"

"If you have big ideas, you have to use big words to describe them haven't you?"

"It's funny how people are so quick to point out our differences when there are so many ways we're all alike."

"Tell me, and I'll forget. Teach me, and I'll remember. Involve me, and I'll learn."

Anne's most defining physical attribute is her bright red hair, which she often styles in two braids. Anne hates the uncommon hair colour because it often gets her teased. On several occasions, Anne has attributed her fiery temper to being a redhead.

Her fair complexion and face full of freckles also characterize Anne.
