What is a good description of Allie?

Allie is a fourteen-year-old girl who is traveling with her father when the accident occurs. She has removed her seatbelt in order to adjust her blouse when the wreck occurs. Without the seatbelt, she flies through the windshield which prompts the interruption of crossing over. Allie is a strong-willed character who initially blames Nick for their predicament. She is determined to go home despite warnings that it's not a good idea and that there might not be anyone there. Allie is somewhat skeptical of Mary Hightower's teachings, perhaps because she's a little older than many of the kids in Mary's group but more likely because she's so determined to move on to her home. Allie is extremely loyal to her friends and spends a lot of time trying to figure out how to rescue them after she causes them to be trapped in pickle barrels. Allie is also cunning, discovering important things along the way that helps her adjust to her new situation. Another important aspect of Allie's personality is that she's goal-oriented. She needs to have something to do and she sets out to do it with determination. The fact that Allie wants to go home occupies her mind when most of the other children, including Leif and Nick, get caught up in Mary's life in the Twin Towers. Allie is never able to become completely caught up in the life, meaning she is able to see the repetition for what it is. `
