* DramaQueen: Especially in the first book, where she goes through a fiery preteen angst phase about wanting to float down the river ala [[Literature/KingArthur Elaine]], and imagining she had dark hair and was named Cordelia Fitzgerald.

Added DiffLines:

* CannotTalktoWomen: At first, Matthew tends to stay at home because any time he tries to interact with girls or women, he tends to stutter and act very shy. One attempt by him to do so, resulted in buying five pounds of brown sugar. He does find it easier to talk to Anne though, likely due to how much she's around.

* DoesNotLikeMen: And is not shy about saying so. Captain Jim is the only man she's never said a bad word about, which he claims worries him: it makes him wonder if there's something unnatural about him.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's not so much a jerk as very, very blunt. As Captain Jim says, "She's got the bitterest tongue and the kindest heart in Four Winds."

* FieryRedhead

to:

* FieryRedheadFieryRedhead: Justified since her temper was at its fieriest when she was teased about her red hair (being one of the few characters whose fire is connected to their coloring). She chewed out the neighborhood busybody (big mistake...), and also responded to being called "Carrots" by breaking her slate over a schoolmate's head.


Added DiffLines:

* RedheadsAreUncool: Anne is a very cheerful person, but at times could get very careless and cause mishaps. Her relationships with the people of Avonlea began unusually friendly or openly hostile because they teased her about her red hair, which she hoped would some day darken into a real handsome auburn.

* IAmNotPretty

to:

* IAmNotPrettyIAmNotPretty: In the first book she's justified in thinking so, since she really ''is'' homely by the standards of her day. Her later belief that she's still not pretty, even when she's grown more attractive with age, mostly stems from how teased she was as a child.
* InHarmonyWithNature: Anne has elements of this — she asserts she would never be happy in a place without trees.

Added DiffLines:

* AbusiveParents: Anne's guardians prior to Matthew and Marilla used Anne to look after their own children, neglected her education, and did not always provide her (and possibly their own children) with enough to eat. One of these guardians, Mr. Thomas, was frequently intoxicated and Anne was exposed to his violent behaviour.

Diana is significantly less of a presence in later books, but never forgotten - just married and with her own children in Avonlea while the Blythes have instead settled in Four Winds, in a time when it wasn\'t necessarily easy to make casual visits that far.

UnsuspectinglySoused: Anne mistakenly serves her currant wine, believing it to be harmless raspberry cordial; Diana drinks too much of it and ends up in this trope.
