In the first volume of Great Expectations, we meet many characters. One of these characters is named Estella. Estella is the ward at the Havisham Estate. As we learn later on in the novel, she has also been adopted by Miss Havisham. She is a young, beautiful, and ambitious girl. She also has Pip's heart. Along with being pretty, she is also proud and very criticizing. At one point in the novel (chapter 8 pg 63), she makes Pip cry. "The moment they sprang there, the girl looked at me with a quick delight in having been the cause of them. This gave me power to keep them back and to look at her." Pip might think that sh is pretty, but he also thinks that she is proud and not that kind of a person.
