Anne Shirley Cuthbert

Anne Shirley Cuthbert is a fictional character from the show Anne With An E (a remake of Anne Of Green Gables).

In the beginning of the show, we see Anne as an orphan in late Canada, however, as the show progresses, she becomes familiar with the world of Avonlea, her new home. She is welcomed into the Cuthbert family by siblings, amarillo and Matthew (despite prior complications).

Anne is a kind hearted, poetic young girl with iconic red hair, usually worn in braids. Despite the hardship thrown at her, she never struggles to find the beauty in the world, explaining in the most fantastical ways e.g. ‘the white way of delight’ or ‘the lake of shining waters’. Anne is expressive and theatrical, even without trying to be. She truly is remarkable!

She is hopelessly in love with Gilbert Blythe (she just doesn’t know it yet) and is the bosom friend of Diana Barry. She is part of the Cuthbert family, whose farm she lives on (Green Gables) sling with other family members, Marilla and Matthew.

Join Anne in her adventures as her interest grows, and need to know skyrockets.

If you are ever lucky enough to meet someone who even slightly resembles Ms Anne Shirley Cuthbert, make sure to find a dear place in your heart for this kindred spirit.

wacky shirley

Per Amy Schumer: A "Wacky Shirley" is when a girl sits on a guy's face getting her pussy eaten while reading her tweets. She invented it because all the weird sex stuff is geared towards men.
