Anne of Green Gables is an enduring, beloved favorite for a reason. Many readers strongly identify with the protagonist, Anne, but some of us feel strongly that another character is a kindred spirit.

Tag yourself—or a kindred spirit—in the descriptions below.

 

 

Anne Shirley

  • Imaginative, like literally always making stuff up
  • Headstrong, i.e. bullheaded, SO impulsive OMG
  • Wants everyone to like her, is fiercely loyal in return
  • Loves to study, BOOKS ARE FRIENDS
  • Would bury a body for you

 

 

Diana Barry

  • Always does the right thing, like ALWAYS
  • Doesn’t make friends easily but ONCE YOU ARE FRIENDS, IT’S FOR LIFE
  • Like so pretty OMG
  • Would literally die for you

 

 

Marilla Cuthbert

  • Big feelings but keeps it all close to the chest
  • Trusts only the inner circle IF THEM
  • If you aren’t already in the inner circle, good luck
  • Stubborn as all get-out

     

     

    Matthew Cuthbert

    • Just a real lovebug
    • Hard worker
    • So shy, will literally be quiet for two years straight MAYBE THREE
    • Loves you so deeply, will make your dreams come true if humanly possible

     

    Rachel Lynde

    • Has opinions about everything and no problem sharing those opinions
    • Would you like to hear those opinions? Too bad you already are
    • Extremely loyal, do NOT fuck with her loved ones
    • Can accomplish literally anything she puts her mind to

     

    Gilbert Blythe

    • No one has ever said no to him
    • Shows affection by teasing
    • Super smart, like so smart. SO SMART
    • Can hold onto something forever, like say for example his love for you
