His Light (Gilbert Blythe)

The Cuthbert siblings had sent for two boys to help out on the farm, however what they got was two girls. One was wide eyed and excited red head and the other was a slightly more formal and protective blonde haired girl. He name was Leora, it means 'I have light'. It's one of the only things her parents gave her other then a locket that she never takes off.

Unlike her friend Anne she remembers her parents a little. She was only five when they were taken from her. She was coming home from the town when she was met with her house on fire. She yelled for her parents but they didn't come. She was then taken to the orphanage and she met and soon became protective over a red head that was innocent to the world outside those walls. So when Anne was put in placement so was she, the matron was a little scared of the girl so she allowed it every time. Leora took the majority of Anne's beatings and took on some of her chores so she didn't get into trouble.

But how was she meant to protect Anne against this new world, of judgmental girls, difficult lessons, annoying boys, and nosy neighbours.
