Rory Gilmore is one of the two protagonists on Gilmore Girls. She is portrayed by Alexis Bledel.

Character

Lorelai "Rory" Leigh Gilmore is the only daughter of Lorelai Gilmore and the first born daughter of Christopher Hayden (notably her parents were 16 years old when Rory was born). She was born on October 8th, at in the morning. Though born in Hartford, Connecticut, Rory was raised in Stars Hollow where her mother originally worked as a maid at the Independence Inn.

Rory had limited contact with her grandparents, Richard and Emily Gilmore, when she was growing up, usually only seeing them during the holidays.

It wasn't until she began school at Chilton that her grandparents became a regular presence in her life. Her father was rarely around during her childhood years.

It is stated that Lorelai had wanted Rory to attend Harvard since she was three years old. At the start of the series, she is a sophomore in high school, and when the series concludes, she is a recent college graduate.

Rory is defined by her mother's decision to leave her parents and their wealthy life behind, as Emily, Richard and Lorelai herself, put the expectations of a "great future" (the one the three of them imagined for Lorelai) on Rory's shoulders.

She's always applying herself scholastically and doing well when asked to perform tasks that have instructions (notably she tells Mitchum Huntzberger she's always done what was asked of her, and receives a higher SAT score in maths than in verbal).

Rory is an introverted, at times socially awkward person, who fares best in Stars Hollow, where she seems to feel comfortable being herself, as part of the town.

For whatever reason, in spite of her nature being to plan and preferring to know what's coming ahead, Rory decides to become a journalist. While she is commended for her hard work as a writer[1], she falters completely in the world at journalism[2][3][4][5], somehow never realizing that maybe this is not the profession for her.

This could be attributed to the enormous expectations her grandparents and, inadvertently, her brilliant mother, have put on Rory, as well as Rory's biggest wish: to emulate her mother.

Chaiti ghoshal biography of rory gilmore In her junior year, Rory is elected editor at the Daily News as a solution to a stalemate in electing a successor to Paris, whom Rory had convinced to step down. Published February 3, February 11, When Rory is denied financial aid for Yale, she approaches her grandparents without her mother's knowledge and asks them to pay for her college in the form of a loan. A girl who was not interested in boys, not because of an aversion to boys, but who just was academically goal-oriented and really that's what made her tick.

This is substantiated by Rory's unwillingness to alter her predestined future, admit when something goes wrong or even accept that mistakes are good for her, instead feeling any "failure to comply with the prerequisites for her Gilmorian future" equal her being a failure as a person.[6][7] Arguably, all Rory ever wanted was to live a comfortable, quiet life in Stars Hollow.

She is often buried in a book or newspaper during her free time. She shares her mother’s tastes for junk food and movies, and also her quick wit— though Rory often relies more upon her book smarts (quite literally, as she often quotes the various novels she’s read) for her humor. She is generally friendly and sweet, and her wide blue eyes and rosy cheeks give her a youthful, innocent appearance.

Stars Hollow

Rory's story is mainly told through her studiousness, harnessed by her mother from an early age and by no means forced or rejected by Rory, but rather embraced as almost a sole identifying characteristic. She spends her first year of high school attending the local Stars Hollow High School with Lane, but is accepted to the prestigious Chilton which can improve her odds in getting accepted Harvard, a lifelong dream of Rory's.

Shortly after starting her sophomore year, Rory starts attending Chilton leaving her best friend Lane Kim behind. During her last days at Stars Hollow High School, Rory meets the new kid in town and her first boyfriend, Dean Forester.

Chilton Preparatory School

Rory attends the prestigious Chilton Prep for the rest of her high school career.

To pay tuition, Lorelai asks her estranged parents for help and they agree to pay on one condition: Lorelai and Rory must attend a weekly "Friday Night Dinner" at pm. Rory has a difficult start at the highly competitive Chilton, receiving her first ever D on a paper in Max Medina's English Literature class. After receiving the D, Rory spends hours studying for a Shakespeare exam for which she ends up being late, due to the fact that a deer hit her car, and was not allowed to take the exam.[8] Max Medina eventually takes a special interest in Rory and after the incident, reaches out and tells her he has extra credit options that can help her make up for the missed test.

Rory begins to blossom at Chilton, and shows her potential to be a great and gifted student. She finishes her first year in the top 3% of her class. Notably, Rory's rocky beginning at Chilton is shadowed by a group of three girls, Paris Geller heading the trio. Paris and Rory continuously clash throughout their academic career at Chilton as Paris views Rory as competition – both for Harvard and early on, the affections of Paris' childhood crush, Tristin.

Through some sort of twisted fate, the two tended to be paired in group projects and had a hot-and-cold friendship, eventually becoming more permanently positive. Upon graduation the two reflect on the major impact they've had on each other's high school experience. Notable classmates of Rory's at Chilton were Madeline, Louise, and Tristin (who had a crush on Rory until he was forced to attend military school).

Rory had two boyfriends while she attends Chilton: Dean and Jess, but she is single when she graduates.

Rory is accepted to Harvard, Princeton, and Yale. Despite going through her whole life with Harvard as her dream school, Rory decides to attend Yale University where her grandfather was an alumnus. Her mother was initially against Yale, but after seeing Rory's interest in it, she warms to it and encourages Rory to attend.

Rory is named Valedictorian[9] and during her graduation ceremony, she delivers a tear-jerking speech that commemorates her grandparents and especially her mother's influence on her life[10]. Her grandparents gift her a Toyota Prius for graduation, and Lorelai loves the idea of her daughter having a car because it will allow her to visit more often.

Before departing the campus, Lorelai has Rory take a step back in the corridors, and let's her muse that the place isn't so scary anymore.

Yale

When Rory is denied financial aid for Yale, she approaches her grandparents without her mother's knowledge and asks them to pay for her college in the form of a loan.

Richard agrees to pay for Yale as long as she waits five years after her graduation to start paying them back, with no interest. Rory accepts the condition, and she also reinstates their weekly Friday night dinners (which had ended when Lorelai paid back the money she owed her parents for Chilton). After returning from a summer trip backpacking in Europe, Rory realizes she wrote the orientation date down wrong.

Instead of a week until orientation, she has to be at school in two days which means she and her mother have to scramble to prepare. With help from her mother and Luke, Rory moves into her dorm suite where she is quickly shocked to find Paris Geller as one of her suite-mates. During her first year at Yale as an English major, Rory gets back into a relationship with Dean, but she also creates new friendships, notably one with Marty (who secretly has feelings for Rory throughout their friendship).

Through Marty, Rory meets her future boyfriend Logan Huntzberger. Rory doesn't like Logan at first because of his seemingly privileged white male attitude and because of the way he treats Marty like a servant (as Marty had previously bartended for his parties). However, when Logan takes Rory to a memorable Life and Death Brigade event (which he is allowing her to cover for the Yale Daily News) they become friends.

Some time later, Dean breaks up with Rory after she arrives to meet him late and tipsy with Logan and his buddies behind her. Logan comforts her. Rory begins to date Logan non-exclusively, but when she gets jealous of him being with other girls, Logan realizes he cares too much about her to lose her. He agrees to be exclusive with her which is a first for him.

Rory attends a dinner with him at his parents' house, and despite his family's loud disapproval of her, they continue their relationship. Mitchum Huntzberger, Logan's father, apologizes for his family's behavior, and he offers her an internship at a local paper of which he owns. She accepts. Rory believes she is doing remarkably well at the internship, and believes she will be offered a job for the summer.

However, as her internship comes to a close, Mitchum reviews her performance and tells her he thinks she "don't got it" as a journalist because she never spoke up with her opinions. Rory is devastated, and later convinces Logan to steal a yacht with her because she needs to "take to the sea." Rory is arrested for the crime, and after some thought, she decides to take time off from school which causes a rift between her and her mother who believes the decision is a mistake.

During her time off in Season 6, Rory moves in with her grandparents because her mother tells her moving back home isn't an option. Lorelai believed her parents would help her convince Rory to continue school, but they went behind her back and allowed Rory to move in with them. They secure her a job at the D.A.R.

(Daughters of the American Revolution) where her grandmother is president. Rory seems to have no intention of returning to school as she works through the Fall semester and parties with Logan and his friends. She doesn't talk with her mother willingly. She turns 21, and mourns the idea of not spending the much-anticipated birthday with Lorelai (as they had planned a trip to Atlantic City).

Her grandmother throws her a birthday party, and she invites Lorelai and Luke. They have an awkward encounter, and Lorelai and Luke depart when they feel their dues have been done. When Jess, Rory's ex-boyfriend, surprises her with a novel he penned, they go to a disastrous dinner the following night. Jess confronts her about her current life, and states that her dropping out of Yale is entirely unlike her.

His speech inspires Rory to get her life back on track, and she returns to Yale in the spring. She also reconciles with her mother. As Rory's time at Yale dwindles, she is hoping to receive an internship at the New York Times, her dream job. When a rejection letter arrives in the mail, she is shocked. Lorelai later states that "Rory is used to getting what Rory wants." The rejection letter sets her spirits back some as she was anticipating moving to New York following graduation, and she even attempts to go after a job she had turned down.

Eventually, Rory comes to accept that she doesn't know exactly where she is going following graduation.

At her graduation party, however, Logan proposes. Rory is still mulling over the proposal when she goes through the graduation ceremony with her mother, father, and grandparents in attendance. She finds Logan after the ceremony is over.

After some serious thought, she turns his proposal down because she has come to like the idea of everything being wide open. Her time at Yale and their relationship are now over. Rory and Lorelai plan a rollercoaster filled trip for the summer, but Rory suddenly arrives at the Friday night dinner later that week to announce that she has been offered a job.

She is going to be leaving for Iowa in two days to be a reporter on Obama's campaign. Rory departs Stars Hollow to begin her life as a journalist after a tearful and heartfelt goodbye from her family and friends in the little town.

Paris Geller
Main article: Rory and Paris

Rory and Paris share a complicated friendship.

They meet in high school and start out as rivals of Paris's making due to her insecurities, but eventually bond over their academic aspirations. Their road to friendship is complicated by Paris's distrust of other people and her unrequited feelings for Tristin, who in turn harbors feelings for Rory. Due to her neglectful and emotionally abusive parents, Paris also suffers from low self-esteem and has to learn over the course of some years that she doesn't live in Rory's shadow, despite Rory's successes and capabilities.

Rory spends a lot of time trying to reassure Paris, and also gets hurt a lot in the process when Paris distrusts Rory, but they eventually form a bond. Rory encourages Paris's first relationship and is there for her when Paris is rejected by Harvard. They both end up attending Yale and live together for most of their time there, except for when Rory lives with her boyfriend, Logan.

Their friendship remains through Yale and into adulthood.

Madeline & Louise

Madeleine and Louise are friends of Paris's at Chilton, or really more so like a posse of sorts. They are not very ambitious students and show more interest in boys, parties and fashion.

While Rory's relationship with them is usually dependent on the status between Rory and Paris, they eventually all become friends. Madeline is usually kind to Rory and most times oblivious when the Trifecta are at war with Rory, while Louise is incredibly smart and very astute to Paris's behavior and reasons for the multiple rifts with Rory, but also an alpha who can be vicious as she is not insecure.

They all graduate Chilton and reunite for spring break in Florida their freshmen year at college. The girls hang out and party together, a proper friend group at this stage. Madeline and Louise also drop by Yale during Rory's sophomore year as word spread of a party there.

Marty

Rory meets Marty in her first year at Yale when he has fallen asleep naked in the hallway after partying too hard.

Rory wakes him up and gives him something to wear so he can get back to his room without anybody noticing what had happened.

  • After this incident, they become friends and start spending time together. They develop a close friendship and hang out all the time, but Marty secretly harbors romantic feelings for Rory who is unaware. He very tentatively tries to broach the subject, but fails to actually tell her how he feels. When he finally does, Rory has a crush on Logan and rejects Marty, ending their friendship.

    About a year and a half later, during their senior year, they meet again when Rory makes new friends, Olivia and Lucy. Lucy and Marty are together, but Marty pretends he doesn't know Rory and she plays along.

    Lucy & Olivia

    Lucy and Olivia are two art students at Yale whom Rory meets and befriends during her senior year when she covers an art exhibit for the paper. The girls are somewhat eccentric and differ from Rory's usual crowd. The three of them form a much more typical girl group type of friendship, which Rory hasn't experienced before, as she's not really that social and usually has one-on-one connections only, like with Lane.

    Rory even brings them home to visit Stars Hollow with her, where she has a little break down, because everybody knows exactly what to do after graduation except for her. They experience a temporary falling out when Lucy learns that Rory knew Lucy's boyfriend, Marty, but lied to her and pretended not to, with him also revealed to still harbour feelings for Rory despite being with Lucy.
