Ella May Macpherson

When Anne came back to school, "Ella May MacPherson gave her an enormous yellow pansy cut from the covers of a floral catalogue--a species of desk decoration much prized in Avonlea school,..." Moody's sister, she would not talk to Anne after the Avonlea school concert because "Charlie Sloane fought Moody Spurgeon MacPherson, because Moody Spurgeon had said that Anne Shirley put on airs about her recitations, and Moody Spurgeon was 'licked'; consequently Moody Spurgeon's sister, Ella May, would not 'speak' to Anne Shirley all the rest of the winter."
AoGG:Chapters 17, 26

Minnie MacPherson

Jane Andrews heard from Minnie that Prissy Andrews told Sara Gillis that Anne had a pretty nose.
AoGG:Chapter 15

Moody Spurgeon MacPherson

The first mention of Moody comes when he says that Anne Shirley was putting on airs about her recitations at the Avonlea school Concert. Charlie Sloane disagrees and Moody was "licked". As a result, Ella May MacPherson would not talk to Anne Shirley. One of Anne's guesses at some information was that Moody saw Diana home from a prayer meeting one evening. He was also part of the Queen's class at Avonlea. After going through Queen's he plans to become a minister. The thought of this made Anne laugh, and she thinks "he's such a funny looking boy with that big fat face, and his little blue eyes, and his ears sticking out like flaps." He was part of the two year class at Queen's.

Cordelia Montmorency

A fictional character in Anne's "The Jealous Rival; or, in Death Not Divided". It is a "sad, sweet story" that Anne writes for school about two beautiful maidens (one is Cordelia) who live in the same village and "were devotedly attached to each other. Cordelia was a regal brunette with a coronet of midnight hair and duskly flashing eyes." When Diana asked what happened to them, Anne explained

They [Cordelia and Geraldine Seymour] grew in beauty side by side until they were sixteen. Then Bertram DeVere came to their native village and fell in love with the fair Geraldine. He saved her life when her horse ran away with her in a carriage, and she fainted in his arms and he carried her home three miles; because, you understand, the carriage was all smashed up...[nonrelevant conservational material between Anne and Diana deleted]...I made it [proposal] very flowery and poetical and Betram went on his knees, ...Geraldine accepted him in a speech a page long...Bertram gave her a diamond ring and a ruby necklace and told her they would go to Europe for a wedding tour, for he was immensely wealthy. But then, alas, shadows began to darken over their path. Cordelia was secretly in love with Bertram herself and when Geraldine told her about the engagement she was simply furious, especially when she saw the necklace and the diamond ring. All her affection for Geraldine turned to bitter hate and she vowed that she should never marry Bertram. But she pretended to be Geraldine's friend the same as ever. One evening they were standing on the bridge over a rushing turbulent stream and Cordelia, thinking they were alone, pushed Geraldine over the brink with a wild mocking, 'Ha, ha, ha.' But Bertram saw it all and he at once plunged into the current, exclaiming, 'I will save thee, my peerless Geraldine.' But alas, he had forgotten he couldn't swim, and they were both drowned, clasped in each other's arms. Their bodies were washed ashore soon afterwards. They were buried in the one grave and their funeral was most imposing...As for Cordelia, she went insane with remorse and was shut up in a lunatic asylum.
