George Kirrin

Georgina "George" Kirrin, is a fictional character from the Famous Five series of children's adventure novels by Enid Blyton. Georgina is a tomboy, demanding that people should call her George, and she cuts her hair very short and dresses like a boy. She is headstrong and courageous by nature and, like her father, scientist Quentin Kirrin, has a hot and fiery temper. Enid Blyton admitted to her foreign publisher that the character was based on her own childhood.

George has a loyal dog named Timothy (sometimes Timmy or Tim) who'd do anything for her. She often fires up when anyone calls her by her real name or makes fun of Timmy. And she loves it when somebody calls her George or mistakes her for a boy. In "Five Get into a Fix", the old woman Mrs. Jones mistakes her for a boy: even though Julian had said to her that she was a girl, she later forgot this.

In the 2008 series "Famous Five on The Case", an adult George is married to a car mechanic named Ravi Mischwa, and has a daughter named Jyoti, who prefers to be called Jo. George is a botanist and a collecter of rare artefacts in the series.
