Darrell Rivers is the main character in Malory Towers. She is a character with an infamous short temper which she struggles throughout the series to control. She was 12 years old in the First Form and we see her throughout 7 series of the Malory Towers TV Programme.

She is sunny-natured and determined to be kind, although she is sometimes rude to the people she doesn’t like because of her temper.

She has word blindness (dyslexia) which is discussed in season one of the television series, and properly acknowledged from season 2 onwards.

When she gets into the upper school she becomes the Head-Girl of the Fourth Form, Games Captain in the Fifth Form and finally, in Sixth Form, Head-Girl Of The School. As she gets older at Malory Towers she begins to realise her talent for writing and goes on to be a writer. She is very well known in the school and was looked up to by all the smaller children in her time as the Head-Girl.
