Anne Shirley - Green Gables series and adaptations - Demiromantic

I love Anne a lot and related to her a lot growing up. I hc her as demiromantic partially because it takes her so long to recognize that her feelings for Gilbert have turned romantic. There are also a few other things:

She idealizes what she thinks she wants in a romantic partner based on the books she grew up reading

When she finally does have this, she has to come to the realization that she's not actually attracted to men like that and that her romantic feelings are inclined in a different way than she had expected

When all her friends are starting to fall in love with people around them (and not just crushing or romanticizing), she is still figuring out her feelings and how they differ from those around her

Also, Project Green Gables made their version of Anne demiromantic, which is amazing, so go check that out if you're an Anne fan and haven't yet
