From "Raymond's Run," describe Squeaky's personality. Was Squeaky defensive, determined, or other traits?

Squeaky is a determined young girl.  She is dedicate to
running: it is her greatest joy.  She runs everywhere, even while taking care of her
brother Raymond who has special needs.  She runs always with the idea that more running
will make her a better runner, and she works hard at
this.

Squeaky is defensive.  She is ready to fight if
someone picks on her brother Raymond, whether it is a boy or girl, and has a quick,
razor-like comeback if anyone gives Raymond or her a hard
time.

Squeaky has a strong sense of self and has no problem
speaking her mind.  One she puts her mind to doing something, she feels comfortable with
who she is, what she chooses to do, and had confidence in explaining herself to
others.

Squeaky is realistic.  When the girls all
participate in the May Day dance, she knows that she is not cut out for the fancy dress,
shoes and dancing.  Running is her gift and her joy.  She is focused on this and has no
time for behavior that she considers frivolous.

Squeaky is
supportive and generous.  When she realizes how well Raymond runs, she decides that she
is going to do all she can to help him succeed.  After all, she has experienced the
thrill of running and winning, but Raymond has little to make him feel special the way
running makes Squeaky feel special.

Lastly, Squeaky can be
forgiving.  Although Gretchen has been unkind to her, Squeaky offers an "olive branch"/a
gesture of peace (a sign of truce) in the smile she gives Gretchen after the race, and
Squeaky believes that together she and Gretchen can help coach Raymond to be a really
good runner.
