History Creator / LMMontgomery

* FeminineWomenCanCook: Almost all of her heroines have some talent at housekeeping and cooking. Justified, as they are all of a social class and era when cooking would be in a woman's basic skill set. Frequently, Montgomery puts cooking and domesticity in a positive, even powerful light. For heroines like Valancy and Pat, a woman in charge of her own house and her own kitchen is a woman independent and creative. A notable exception is the Story Girl from the novel of the same name and ''The Golden Road.''

* HystericalWoman: Pat of Silver Bush, in her first book, is a nascent version of this trope. She loves very, very deeply and tends to take change badly -- it takes ''her entire family'' to calm her down after her father shaves his mustache. As a young girl she is already gaining a reputation for going into hysterics; as she grows up she has slightly better control of her emotions, but is always considered odd.

** There are also Mr.Phillips and his teenaged student Prissy Andrews in AnneOfGreenGables.

* AuthorAvatar: According to Montgomery herself, Pat from ''Pat of Silver Bush'' was written to be most like her. In her words, she gave Anne her imagination and Emily her "knack for scribbling", but Pat was the one most closely modeled after her own personality.

* ObliviousToLove: In "The Pursuit of the Ideal," Roger doesn't notice that his good chum Freda is in love with him, because he's got this high-faluting nothing of what his Ideal Woman will be like, and what love will feel like. Freda stays silent because [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy she just wants him to be happy]]. Gradually, Roger gets his head out of the clouds, and realizes he loves Freda, and they live HappilyEverAfter.

* ActuallyThatsMyAssistant: In ''Anne of Avonlea'' and a few other stories, characters will be expecting the visit of a famous authoress. The doorbell will ring, and they will meet a tall, elegant grand dame with a serene countenance...and a short, homely-looking bustling matron. They always think the grand dame is the writer, but....
