Features: Anne Shirley became an orphan three and a half months after her birth. Before arriving at Green Gables by chance, she had worked as a child caregiver, done housework, and lived in an orphanage. She longed for family, understanding, and a warm home. She loved the picturesque Green Gables and the siblings who adopted her. Fortunately, she began a new life at Green Gables. She was honest, enthusiastic, and imaginative, but also had flaws 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 earned with hard work and effort to attend the University of Alberta to take care of the disabled Marilla. She returned to the secluded Green Gables and embarked on a new chapter in her life.
