I never thought of Daisy from Downton Abbey as shy or introvert! She always has her opinion and isn’t afraid to say. She’s just naive.

But I miss Griet (Scarlett Johansson) from “Girl With A Pearl Earring” and Ada (Holly Hunter) from “The Piano”.

Thank you so much for this list! I am, and always have been a painfully shy woman. I used to wish I were more extroverted, but I now accept the fact that I’m not. I now feel that my shyness gives me a unique, mysterious vibe.

In reply to Dean. Disney ball of energy? It's not like Belle is the only Disney Princess to be introverted. Cinderella, Aurora, Pocahontas, Mulan, Tiana, and Elsa would also fall under the introverted category. And I agree that Belle is not shy; Not even around Gaston.

Kiara Westford -“Rules of attraction”(Simone Elkeles- I know this is a shallow novel, but I fell in love with the style of the author.)

Linda Owens- “Beastly”(Alex Flinn)

Anne Elliot- “Persuasion”(Jane Austen)

Angela Weber- “Twilight”(Stephenie Meyer)

Harriet Pomeroy-“Ravished”(Amanda Quick)

Penelopa Marbury- ” A rogue by any other name”(Sarah MacLean)

Anna Wren-” The Raven Prince”(Elizabeth Hoyt)

In my opinion , these would be the characters who stood out by their shyness .It’s just a personal opinion , of course

In reply to Autumn Topping. You raise a fair point there. I wouldn't call her introverted personally, more... somewhere in the middle, i.e. ambiverted. She's awkward around some of the characters, i.e. Gaston, because he only really wants one thing from her, and of course wants to make her life a living hell when she refuses him.

In reply to Dean. I used shy as a general term. If you read my introduction, you can see that I was including introverted in the conversation. Though I do think Belle does not come across as being comfortable socially.

Belle is in no way ‘shy’. She’s just intelligent and introverted. Maybe she comes across as shy because she’s not your standard Disney ball of energy, but she’s not shy by any standards.

Introversion is not shyness. Most of these characters aren’t shy but introverts.
