Johnsy’s character in the story ‘Last Leaf’ by O. Henry is quite interesting. She is Sue’s friend and lives with her in an apartment in Greenwich Village.  She falls ill suffering from pneumonia and gradually loses will to live. She harbors a belief that she will die the moment the last leaf falls from the ivy climber on the wall opposite her window. She also shares her belief with her friend who confides it to Mr. Behrman. However, he paints an ivy leaf on the wall, which looks real. When Johnsy sees the last leaf has not fallen, she is healed with power of self-belief and love for life.
