## Characteristics & Traits

As a noblewomen, Mary was raise as a respectable, well-meaning, and proper woman of society, who tries to see the best in people and most situations but like most nobles, falls victim to her own bias and prejudice from time to time.

The focal point of her character is her love for her family despite their apparent dysfunction, trying her best to keep the family unit together, the brunt of which is attributed to her father, Mr. Gillis. She see's her brother Jaimie as a sweet innocent boy who knows no better and her father as a great man who has fallen in hard times after the death of her mother. After both get themselves in dire situations, Mary is even willing to rely and beg her former fiancé, Atreus for help despite ending their relationship because of his lifestyle, the same lifestyle that ends up aiding her when she need help.

Unaware or intentional, Mary is a skilled manipulator who uses pity to get others to do what she wants. When her brother get entangled with a cult, Mary writes a letter to Atreus in the form of a love letter and hopes they would meet while hiding her true intentions. Once they meet, she uses their former relationship as leverage to get him to help her save her brother.
When that doesn't work She resorts to using words like, "I missed you" or "I think of you often", as icing on the cake. She uses the same method when her father gets into a predicament.

While loving her family her greatest attribute, it is also her greatest flaw. As, Mary has a habit of putting them up in a pedestal as the ideal family despite their faults. She tends to put their wellbeing above all else, especially their opinions. She ended her relationship with Atreus base on the opinions of her family, believing family knows best. When defending her decision she states, "You cannot blame the sins of a father for loving her daughter and wanting what's best for her then to live with...You".

She loved Arthur and desired to have a life with him, even retaining feelings for him over the years. However, she acknowledges that Arthur's preference for his criminal lifestyle would prevent them from ever having a future together, eventually coming to terms with it and deciding to cut ties with him. Despite that, Mary visited Arthur's grave and wept for him, showing that she still loved him enough to overlook his faults.

As seen in Lamar Down, Tanisha is hypocritical, as she criticizes Franklin willing to give up his old life and friends in pursuit of a luxurious life (the reason why they broke up in the first place) when she has done exactly the same, even marrying a rich doctor. She even comments about how happy she is with her new life on his Lifeinvader page. Unlike Franklin however, she sought a legitimate way of life instead of resorting to criminal means. Continuing to show her hypocrisy, she berates Franklin for his recklessness and for acting crazy, despite previously asking him to go save Lamar, which required Franklin to charge into a saw mill and kill several people; something that Tanisha would likely consider to be reckless and crazy.
