Most people find her pleasant to talk to and quite easy to get along with. She is personable and kind. She is generally slow to anger, and she is not afraid to laugh at herself. Though she is quiet upon first meeting, she is not exactly timid or meek. She simply has a quiet nature. Being in Mary's presence gives one a feeling of serenity. Mary has in her a stubborn refusal to allow the rumors that fly around about her and her family's utter disdain steal her joy for life.
Desite her sweetness and her lack of the ambition that drives the entire rest of her family, Mary is not the naive simpleton her family thinks her. She is really quite clever, and she's possessed of the same wit and charm her brother has, though she uses it to flirt, rather than use it for the advancement of her family. She does occasionally have trysts with men, but she is discrete about them, and very selective. Her methods for selction do not match those of her family, however. She chooses based on how well she gets on with the man, and whether she feels she may care for him, not whether he can be used as a pawn in her family's game. That is the main reason Mary is so reviled by all others named Howard and Boleyn- she is not ambitious like the others.
Mary's family rarely sees this kind, sweet, charming side of her. For them, she reserves a special hostility, especially for her brother, George. To her uncle and father, she's compliant and does more or less as she's told, not being necessarily the rebellious sort. Toward Anne she is indifferent. She has no special affection toward her sister, but no special hostility, either. Anne finds her useless, and for Mary, that's just fine.
[align=center] [/align]- - - - - Family Members,
-George Boleyn, brother -Anne Boleyn, sister -Edmund Howard, uncle -Thomas Howard, uncle -Catharine Howard, cousin - - - - Overall History, Mary Boleyn has always been the odd one. She has never been interested in being the Queen, or the King's mistress. She only ever wanted to marry a country lord and settle down quietly, away from the court. It's easy to assume that she's not possessed of the ambition her family has, but Mary is still a Boleyn. She simply applies that ambition elsewhere.
It started when she and Anne were sent to France. Mary was able to learn the language and speak it fluently, but she still had trouble fitting in at the court. All the women there were so... petty! So cut-throat! To Mary, who was quite young and naive, it was horrid. Her first taste of courtly life was entirely too bitter, as far as she was concerned. Anne thrived, of course, and Mary was content to stay in her sister's shadow, being the Leah to her Rachel. Anne had always enchanted everybody, anyway. Mary, though charming and witty in her own way, was far too quiet and dreamy for court.
Then the French King made her his mistress, and... Mary was treated well by the king, but the courtiers talked of her horribly behind her back. Mary thought she was starting to find her place, only to find out that the exact opposite was true. This served to cement her desire for a quiet, non-court-associated life. She flirts now, and because of her time as the French king's mistress, it's assumed she sleeps around. She doesn't, though. She's simply a flirt. She refuses to play the games of the court, for which she is treated coldly. She believes that one cannot play those games and keep one's sanity intact.
[/font]- - - - - Roleplay Sample, Tom hated Alys Beckett. She hated Alys Beckett, and at the same time wanted to be her. Well, not completely. She just wished that Joseph would cast his attentions Tom's way instead of Alys's. She was fairly certain that Joseph wouldn't disappear for no reason and not tell that pox-ridden wench, Alys. Tom, however... Tom, he had no problem disappearing from. It made her sad, which only made her angry, because she did not want to feel sad over a man who wouldn't pay her any mind, except that he thought she was his male student. While Tom was able to get more sleep, she hadn't seen Joseph for a week. She'd been practicing, obviously, because she loved archery, whether it had anything to do with Joseph or not.
What really irked Tom was that Joseph's absence only served to exacerbate the fact that she was a lowly servant girl/midwife's apprentice, well on her way to becoming an old maid because no man wanted a girl who could out-shoot him with a bow and couldn't cook or sew, though she was decidedly good with children. She could clean, too. Lord only knew that Tom could clean. She could clean until her hands were raw, as they were well on their way to being, the way she was viciously scrubbing the floor.
She started when she heard a voice above her, apparently speaking to her. She paused, placing her rag over the edge of the bucket. "No, Sir Dudley, the palace has done nothing to vex me." Tom sighed and pushed a strand of hair that had pulled itself free from her plait out of her face with the back of her hand. "However, it is generally much more acceptable for one to take out one's vexations on the palace floor than on the source of them." Especially when the source of them was nowhere to be found.
