Day Nine: Favorite female character in a drama show

Lady Mary Crawley

She's one of the more interesting characters on the show to me, because while she sometimes appears to be cold and calculating (many of the characters accuse her of that) there is so much more to the character than that. Honestly, I'm not really sure what to say because there is SO MUCH there, but I love her relationship with Carson and I love how the show seems to really like taking long images of just her being sad or emotional. Michelle Dockery is so god at that.

Instead, I'm going to leave you with a link to someone who gets Mary REALLY well. It does contain spoilers to series 2 episodes, up to 2x07.here
