What does this character feel towards death?
She thinks that people should be able to talk to the dead (as in ghosts and all) because she basically likes ghost stories. She also wants to know what happens when someone died, couldn't decide whether there would be an afterlife or not.

Personality:
She is cheerful, fussy, talkative, and sometimes slightly bossy because of her upbringing, which would sometimes annoy or irritate others around her, though not on purpose. Towards authority figures, she would be very sweet, slightly clingy, loving it whenever someone praised her for good behavior. Young as she is, she aspired to be completely ladylike, trying to act proper and polite, even telling her adoptive siblings what they did wrong in their manners, speech, and so on. But she couldn't hold her focus on one thing for very long, forgetting that she planned to be ladylike at first, then she would most likely be embarrassed and annoyed when someone points that out to her. Usually she would forget those 'incidents' pretty quickly, though, and spend the rest of the day being her cheerful, fussy self again. Despite of her being a girl, she has little concern or fear for ghosts and other supernatural beings, and at times even the boys would admit that she's the bravest of the four kids. She loves to be read ghosts stories before bedtime, much to others' dislike, and she would think it's endlessly funny how the boys are easier to scare. Her spending habit makes one of his brothers cringe every time Adeline took them to some stores, but Mary-Jane cares nothing about it. She doesn't mind spending a lot on things that she likes.

Grassy green and lotus pink.

Squirrels.

Classical (nothing much was available at that era in her hometown)

Favorite book/genre:
Illustrated storybooks about ghosts.

Vanilla tart and honey lemon tea.

Is this character easy to read, or do they have poker face?
She has a hard time surpressing her emotions, not that she ever really wanted to. She knows that it's no good for proper women to show so much, as women were expected to look gentle and quiet at all time. But she couldn't help it.

Are they usually optimistic or pessimistic?:
Optimistic

Backstory:
Mary-Jane was the only daughter of her original parents, and since her parents were both an only child, she was the only descendant of both her mother's and her father's lineage of nobility. She was brought up being lavished in luxury, with her parents giving her anything she wanted...with one condition. She may never step out of the castle. Her parents were exceedingly protective of her, placing hordes of servants ready to do anything she needs to do, and she wasn't even allowed to open the door by herself. Her parents also educate her at home, with the best teachers on the kingdom teaching her everything she would like to know about everything. Her favorite subject would be the lessons about geography, plants, animals, and all about the outside world. She had thousands of books to read when she feels lonely, with ghost stories and horror books being her favorites. One evening, an accident in the kitchen set the whole castle on fire, burning practically everything on the first and second floor of the castle. The fire already reached the third floor, where Mary-Jane's room were, when the townsfolk managed to extinguish it. Both of her parents, who slept in the main room in the second floor, didn't survive the fire, just like much of the servants on the first floor. Mary-Jane was trapped inside her room that was locked from the outside by her parents for safety. A couple of days passed before Adeline came to the castle, planning to talk to Lord Galeton, Mary-Jane's father, who was also a friend of Adeline's late husband. She heard sobs and cries for help from the upper floor, and found the little girl inside. Considering none of her parents survived, Adeline spared no time to ask things, and brought her to the mansion where she brought the two boys before.

Mary-Jane is the only one of the four kids who was perfectly at ease calling Adeline as 'mother', since Jonathan is too self-conscious of his lowly upbringing, Benedict is too proper to think himself as no more than a guest at her house, and Lucio almost never spoke anyway. She was very much excited to have siblings, much to Jonathan's amused confusion, and she cold chat with any of the boys for hours. Initially they thought of her as somewhat pompous, but it quickly revealed to them that she simply knows very little of the world, and they became comfortable with her around them as soon as they realized the effect of her bright, cheerful personality that lighten up the mood of the whole family every time.
