Editing Anne of Green Gables (section)

=== Anne's friends/classmates ===
* '''Diana Barry''': Anne's best friend and a kindred spirit. Anne and Diana become best friends from the moment they meet. She is the only girl of Anne's age who lives close to Green Gables. Anne admires Diana for being pretty with black hair and flawless complexion and for her amiable disposition. Diana lacks Anne's vivid imagination but is a loyal friend.
* '''[[Gilbert Blythe]]''': A handsome, smart, and witty classmate, two years older than Anne, who has a crush on her. Unaware of Anne's sensitivity about her red hair, he tries to get her attention by holding her braid and calling her "Carrots" in the classroom, and she breaks a slate over his head. Despite his attempts at an apology, Anne's anger and stubbornness prevent her from speaking to him for several years. By the end of the book, however, they apologise and become good friends.
* '''Ruby Gillis''': Another of Anne's friends. Having several "grown-up" sisters, Ruby loves to share her knowledge of beaux with her friends. She is pretty and blonde, but rather empty-headed and prone to hysterics.
* '''Jane Andrews''': One of Anne's friends from school, she is plain and sensible. She does well enough academically to join Anne's class at Queen's.
* '''Josie Pye''': A classmate generally disliked by the other girls (as are her siblings), Josie is vain, dishonest, sharp-tongued, and jealous of Anne's popularity.
* '''Prissy Andrews''': Another school companion of Anne's, who is assumed to be in a relationship with the teacher, Mr. Phillips.
