Is a very shy girl. If you tell her she's beautiful she won't believe you. She puts herself down and always sees the negative in things. She may even cut herself. She will put on a fake smile so that she doesn't bother the ones she loves most. But she will always help you in a time of need and try to be there for you. She cares too much and usually always ends up hurt by people who don't care as much about her. She loves deeply and passionately. When she says she loves you she means it. Wether she's telling you it in a family or relationship manner. She is a very pretty girl. She loves to hear music. If you come across a Dixie talk to her about bands or different music. If you need someone to talk to, go find her. She's an excellent listener and will help you through your problems. She will try to give you the best advice. She will help you feel better when you feel down. She tries to be friendly even when others aren't. She has quite a temper and doesn't tolerate rude people. She will try to ignore them and simply get away. Be careful what you say to a Dixie because they are sensitive. Just like any other girl. If you say she's ugly or fat, she won't look bothered but inside it's probably killing her. Dixie is shy at first and has a bit of a hard time making new friends in places she doesn't know. Go up to her and talk to her. I'm sure she'll enjoy the company.
