Despite her protection and her civilised background she displays parts of her mother's personality as she wants to explore the country beyond the Grange. She is curious about everything new and only wants to follows her own rules.

Although she is beautiful, she behaves extremely rude towards Lockwood. She snaps at Lockwood when he attempts to help her and flings the tea back when she discovers that he was not invited. She learnt how be thick-headed and not submissive. Nelly later also describes her as naughty and hot tempered, because she wants everything in her way, like writing letters to Linton and visiting him Cathy here already shows a lot of her powerful character.

She wants to be the dominant ruler who can decide about everything. Throughout the novel she shows very intense feelings towards other people: she is very close to her father whom she loves extremely, but also towards Linton and Hareton. Her feelings towards those two range from spontaneous hatred to true love. Linton is her only real playmate, with whom she can talk about literature.

She does not really love him, but lacks a better alternative, which Hareton in the beginning is not. Her marriage to Linton is the turning point in her development, because it shows the many sides of her personality.

She is not the nice and lively girl any more, but also displays pity, anger, patience and genuine care for Linton. She ridicules Hareton together with Linton and has to make essential decisions, when Heathcliff locks her in. She has to be self-confident and strong throughout her upbringing.

Linton is sick all of the time and is "selfish and disagreeable" On her sixteenth birthday, Cathy announces that she would like to spend the day on the moors. In this chapter Cathy serves as the primary narrator, telling Nelly who in turn tells Lockwood about her evening visits to Wuthering Heights. Many readers question Cathy's devotion to Linton, for he does not seem particularly agreeable.

Again, Cathy ridicules Hareton, but this time her words lead to an injury for Linton. Unbelievably, this is an incident that Linton holds Cathy accountable for.

In doing so, he is remaining true to his self-centered, annoying character. Nelly, however, abruptly changes her character.
