Mary Ingalls
As the oldest daughter, Mary Ingalls is very responsible and tries to be a model child and big sister. As one of the prettiest girls in town, Mary is very popular with the boys of Walnut Grove. Studious and academically smart, things often came easy for her. In spite of her book smarts and good looks, Mary was also faced with the responsibility of doing her chores around the house. Like her little sister, Laura, Mary is committed to the well-being of her family and making sure that they're treated fairly. The ease of her life is abruptly interrupted when an illness leaves her blind. She is faced with a new and unfamiliar set of challenges, but Mary's determination and ability to excel help her overcome her new adversity.
