Rhiannon from Every Day by David Levithan
"I love you-I do-but I am afraid of making that love too important. Because you're always going to leave me."

Acts

Shy

A mentions Rhiannon's shyness around strangers
and points out how "she doesn't make herself stand
out in public" (Levithan 136). Because of this, A mentions how he will "always notice her, even when no one else does" (Levithan 152).

Upbeat

Rhiannon is pretty energetic and tries to
enjoy every day as well as she can despite
her troubles at home and with her relationship
issues with Justin.

Caring

Even though her old boyfriend Justin acted harshly and cold
towards her, she always showed care for Justin. She always
encouraged Justin to stop smoking and wanted the best for
Justin, even after they broke up.

Looks

Innocent

It's mentioned by A near the beginning
that he likes her "innocent look" (Levithan 72), which
helps visualize someone youthful and timid.

Short

A points out how he loves everything about Rhiannon,
including her physical appearance. He goes on to mention
to mention some of the physical attributes he likes about
Rhiannon, including her short height.

Feels

Romantic

Rhiannon enjoys spending time with A and going out
together. Rhiannon also mentions how she will always love A, "no matter what he looks like" (Levithan 182). Rhiannon also
enjoys intimacy and is very amorous towards A.

Hopeful

Rhiannon understands that her love with A is "impossible" (Levithan 220) and how it will never work. Despite her understanding, she refuses to give up her relationship with A hoping that their relationship will somehow work.

Adventurous

Rhiannon enjoys exploring new places and often
does this with A. They meet up in different places
frequently, but Rhiannon doesn't mind this at all.
She enjoys that she has to meet up with A in
different places and says that she "doesn't mind
travelling far" (Levithan 127) to see A.
