Anne of Green Gables
Jane Andrews
Anne's sensible friend
A calm, practical classmate who balances Anne's daydreams.
Jane Andrews is a plain-faced girl with neat light brown hair and an earnest, steady manner. She is pragmatic, hardworking, and plainspoken, and she is the least romantic of Anne's friends. When Anne is carried away by a fantasy, Jane is the one who keeps her feet on the ground.
She is dependable and has no wish to be anything but herself. That solidity makes her a good counterweight in the circle of girls, and Anne values her even when they do not see things in the same way.
