Pride and Prejudice
Georgiana Darcy
Darcy's shy sister
Darcy's much younger sister, gentle, musical and very shy. Her brother's friends see her pride as coldness, but she is simply timid.
Georgiana Darcy is sixteen, delicate and tall for her age, a gifted musician and painfully shy. Her brother Darcy loves her dearly and is protective of her. People who do not know her can mistake her shyness for pride, as they do with him.
She carries a painful memory. A few years earlier, a man she trusted tried to take advantage of her, and she has been wary and quiet since. She is looking for kind friends, and she finds one.
