Always cheerful, Diana Barry lives next door to Anne at the Barry farm. The two quickly become bosom friends and enjoy many adventures together. Unlike Anne, Diana is quiet and reserved but the two girls manage to bond as like-minded kindred spirits.

When Mrs. Barry forbids the girls from seeing each other after an incident at Green Gables, the two become distraught fearing they may never be friends again. However, they eventually are able to see one another and pick up right where they left off.
