Profile

"When Mary Lennox was sent to Misselthwaite Manor to live with her uncle everybody said she was the most disagreeable-looking child ever seen. It was true, too. She had a little thin face and a little thin body, thin light hair and a sour expression. Her hair was yellow, and her face was yellow because she had been born in India and had always been ill in one way or another . . ."

- From The Secret Garden

Mary Lennox is fourteen years old, and an orphan. She's grown reasonably tall, and reasonably healthy, though still thin and sharp-featured and in no way pretty (except a little, on the rare occasions when she really smiles.) She has been living at Misselthwaite Manor with her uncle and cousin for nearly five years now; she's still a solemn, rather contrary sort of girl, but she's learned to like things - even love some of them - and that does a good deal for a person. She comes from the book The Secret Garden, for the purpose of milliways_bar, and does not in any way belong to me.
