MARY CRAWLEEYYYYY

[leigh57]

I love Mary because I truly wanted to hate her and I couldn't. That's one of the ten million reasons she's awesome.

[sleuths]

the depth of her compassion astounds me, and it astounds me that no one knows just how deeply loyal she is to the people she chooses to welcome into her heart. she is such a product of her time, but is so much richer and complex than a mere caricature of the bored, spoiled daughter with a permanent expression of disdain on her face. i can't even express it. she is unquestionably the queen of downton!

My forever girl! Oh Mary.

MARY! I'm only just up to the Christmas Episode (about to watch it now). Devoured season one.

She's strong and self-sacrificing without being an annoying martyr. She wants to protect her family and will give up her own happiness to do so. Even though Richard is a total ass she is able to stand up to him and make it very clear that their marriage has nothing to do with love.

Other reasons - she makes the same three dresses work for YEARS. She had to give up her dream of being the heir because grrrrr the entail. She inspires loyalty in people like Carson and Anna. I so need icons...
