Features: Anne, the protagonist, became an orphan at the age of three and a half months. Before arriving at Green Gables by chance, she had worked as a child caregiver and done household chores, and had also lived in an orphanage. She longed for family, understanding, and a warm home. She loved the beautiful scenery of Green Gables and the siblings who adopted her, and luckily began a new life at Green Gables. She was honest, enthusiastic, and imaginative, but also had bad habits like being willful and vain. Under the care and love of Matthew and Marilla, she grew from a freckled, red-haired "ugly duckling" into a beautiful and understanding young woman. After Matthew's death, she gave up the scholarship she had won with hard work and effort at the University of Alberta to take care of the disabled Marilla, and returned to the remote Green Gables, starting a new chapter in her life.
