[Name] Darrell Rivers [Nickname] Darrell [Appeared in Form] Form 1–6 [Note] 
The heroine, or protagonist. Her athletic prowess are matched by her academic achievements. She works very hard and can't do well until she gives her best, unlike Alicia. When she fooled around with Alicia she did very badly in her studies. Many, but not all, of the events in the books are seen from her perspective or through her eyes. She gets a friend – Alicia – until a quarrel at the end of the first book, then her best friend is Sally. She has a hot temper but tries to control it. After she flies into one of her tempers and has time to reflect, she apologises profusely to the person against whom she lost her temper. Alicia and Betty make fun of her 'glint' which she apparently gets before exploding. She has a talent for writing stories and lyrics for songs – author of the fifth form pantomime. In the sixth form she becomes head girl of the whole school
