Mary Crawley? Now you're talking my language.

I could write pages about her character but I'll keep it and concise as possible.

On first impression, Mary is cold, distant ,sarcastic and likes to show an unmoved and hardened exterior. She is practical, pragmatic and does what needs to be done regardless of how she feels about it. She is extremely well bred, impeccably poised and carries herself with an elegant and arrogant hauteur typical of 'the perfect aristo lady'. In short, a true 'Lady of the Manor'.
She keeps her feelings private and actual likes few people in her life. However she's very loyal to them and is capable of 'going out of her way' for them. She's a harsh realist but not too stubborn to change her own views if they are wrong. She can show flashes of intelligence only when she wants to but never to make a statement or to 'prove she's smart'. No, she plays demure until the time she needs to show she has claws.
She loves male attention but also likes to be in control of whatever attraction she feels for the said male. Frankly for long time I never saw what Matthew saw in her. They are as opposite as can be. But like he said 'You are horrid but I love you anyway'!


I'm sorry to add the rest of your post didn't make much sense to me.........but ok! No that's not accurate but you don't need to defend why you like or prefer Napier. My stand is too keep focus on the characters who ARE here, not those who aren't.
