Miss Jordan Baker
Jordan, a 23-year-old women's golf champion, becomes involved with Nick during the summer of 1922. Jordan seems incurably dishonest, a trait enhanced by Nick's remembrance of a rumor that she cheated at her first big golf tournament. Although Nick finds Jordan haughty and careless, he finds himself attracted to her anyway. At the end of the novel, Jordan gets engaged to another man after not seeing Nick for a short time, leaving Nick angry, yet still half in love with her, and tremendously sorry. Jordan's action seems to intentionally echo Daisy's leaving Gatsby to marry Tom five years earlier.
