Lennox family
As a whole
Tropes that apply to all three
- The Beautiful Elite: Mary's parents were wealthy and would often wear Gorgeous Period Dresses. Their hobbies were throwing parties to socialize with their fellow elite.
- Color Motif: Purple. While in India, Mary mainly wore a purple frilly dress, and when we see Mr. and Mrs. Lennox for the first time, they're also wearing fancy purple garments. It could be a nod to how in Real Life, purple was a colour associated with the aristocrats and the wealthy.
- Foreign Culture Fetish: The Lennoxes are British, but had a fascination with India and moved there. Mary was born some time later.
- Happily Married: Mary's parents were this, for all their flaws. They truly loved each other, and died together.
- Parental Abandonment: Mary's parents viewed her as a burden and refused to properly interact with her. Instead, they would often attend fancy parties and hang out with other rich people.
- Parental Neglect: Mr. and Mrs. Lennox were barely present in Mary's life, if at all.
- Plot-Triggering Death: After Mr. and Mrs. Lennox die of cholera, Mary is left orphaned and has to move to Yorkshire, England, to live with her uncle.
- Rich Bitch:
- Mary was often grumpy, rude and entitled towards her servants. After she has a Jerkass Realization, she feels awful about her actions.
- Mr. and Mrs. Lennox refused to properly raise and care for Mary because they thought their leisure time was more important. Their solution was to instead throw money at servants to do it for them. They have no concern about their child's upbringing and welfare.
- Strong Family Resemblance: Mary inherited Mrs. Lennox's blonde locks.
- We Hardly Knew Ye: When they die, Mary doesn't feel anything because they never interacted with her.

A nine year old girl who's just become orphaned after her parents die of cholera. After their death, she is taken in to the custody of her uncle, Archibald Craven. She moves from India to England to live with him, and discovers a secret garden. Even though she's seflish and stubborn, spending time in the garden changes her for the better.
Alternate outfit
Alternate outfit
- Adaptational Nice Guy: In the book, Mary hit her servants and screamed insults at them, and when Martha spoke back to her, she was actually shocked. In the anime, she's still a Spoiled Brat, but doesn't harm her servants and is more mild-mannered. She's also more open to changing as a person, and has a Morality Pet in Paddy.
- Age Lift: Mary here is 9 years old, but was older in the book.
- Animal Companion: Paddy the cat, who doubles as her Only Friend from when she lived in India. He was the only other person Mary showed kindness to before her Character Development.
- Animal Lover: She was initially only close to her cat, Paddy, and was scared of other kinds of animals. However, Dickon, who's friends with all the Woodland Creatures and a Nature Lover to the core, helped her get over her fear of sheep, and she likewise befriended all the animals of the garden.
- Belated Child Discipline: Because her parents didn't want to raise her, Mary Lennox was pampered by servants all her life. When her parents died and she was sent to her uncle's manor in Yorkshire, she found that the servants there were less willing to put up with her spoiled attitude, and became more independent.
- Blithe Spirit: Despite being moody at first, Mary's presence turns the whole Craven mansion upside down, as she eventually finds out she has a love for animals as well as people, and wants to help Ben heal the garden. Spending time with Ben and Dickon inspires her to be more social, hence her willingness to befriend anyone she meets, be it social recluse Camila or the stoic tutor Helen. Camila in particular is touched by little Mary's optimism, and happily welcomes her as a friend.
- Composite Character: Mary here is more of a Genki Girl and more playful, like Martha from the original novel. The anime's adaptation of Martha is also more serious than her book counterpart.

- Dub Name Change: She was known as Raneem in the Arabic dub.

- Genki Girl: Mary is upbeat, always smiling, loves to play with animals and always ready to befriend anyone, no matter how aloof they are. Her kindness is what brings the staff of the Craven Mansion together at the garden.
- Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: While Mary was intially a Rich Bitch who behaved horribly, post-Character Development she turns into this, as she becomes more kind and encouraging, and helps the people around her improve as well.
- Hidden Heart of Gold: Mary wasn't a bad person, but years of never being treated with proper love and care left her a cold and selfish person. If it wasn't for Dickon reaching out to her and Ben encouraging her to follow her passion of gardening, she would have remained that way.
- Heartwarming Orphan: Despite being a Spoiled Brat, Mary was able to show empathy to people who also suffered tragedies, like Ben's loneliness after the death of Lilias and Camila's isolation from the other townspeople. She decides to help people to confront their demons and be a good friend to them, making her this trope.
- I'm Standing Right Here: When she's on the ship, the other kids tease Mary for her aloof nature and make up an insulting rhyme based on her name. Mary scowls at them and eventually hollers at them to go away, which excites them even more.
- Innocent Blue Eyes: Mary has very bright, crystal-clear blue eyes. She's also an innocent Genki Girl.
- Lonely Rich Kid: Mary's parents had a lot of friends and would frequently socialize with their fellow Beautiful Elite, but Mary had no one else apart from her servants and Paddy.
- Mirror Character: Towards Colin. Both children were deprived of proper socialization due to their life circumstances, but Mary was able to break out of her mold, while Colin is more restrained by it.

- Parental Substitute: While she lived in British India, Mary had a personal maid-servant who looked after her.
- Perpetual Frowner: Very much in the first arc. She had a permanent scowl on her face, especially towards Martha and Medlock, rebuffing all their attempts at getting close to her.

- Happily Married: Archibald and Lilias were soulmates and after her death, Archibald continued to remember her with a photograph in his locket.
- Parental Neglect: Colin reminded Archibald too much of his dead wife, so he ignored him for years instead to alleviate his grief. Though he does try to visit Colin once.
- May–December Romance: Between Archibald and Lillias. Lillias was much younger than Archibald (she looked no older than 25 while the younger Archibald looked almost exactly like his present and older self save for his still not white hair), yet they still clearly adored each other. It would explain a lot about how hard he took her death.
- Meaningful Name: At the time the original book was written, Craven was an informal word for "weakling", and Colin is an Ill Boy while Lilias died in childbirth.

- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: In the Grand Finale, Colin, upon seeing Archibald, instantly steps out of the wheelchair to confront him.

A young boy who works at the Craven mansion and befriends Mary.

- Good Is Not Nice: She'll openly critisize Mary and question her upbringing, but that doesn't mean she won't help her and support her when she needs it. Even Mary concedes Martha is right a few times.
