Mary is the studious type. She is nice to those who have earned her trust and usually believes in quid-pro-quo. For others, she is colder. It isn't that she is unkind she just has a hard time being friends with people. A lot of people require their friends to be open with them and her past is something she doesn't want to be open about.
If someone is wrong about some fact she will correct them. Often finding herself in awkward situations when correcting them. If someone does something she thinks isn't "right" she won't like them, and while she won't be mean to that person they just become unimportant to her. There is only so much room for her to care.

How did you come into your magic: From a very young age things were "odd" around Mary. Her mother discouraged it so much that Mary tried to contain the oddness but the more she tried the harder it was. This led to outbursts of violent magic (at one point burning a large section of the small trailer home they lived in). After Mary moved in with her father he helped her learn to control it and the outbursts stopped.
General History: Mary was born to a backwaters hick of a mother who believed God had punished her with Mary. Mary's father was unknown to Mary, and the source of Mary's abilities seen as the worst possibility of a deal between Satan and God. Mary's mother believed she was suffering as Job had, and to free herself of the curse she must cleanse Mary. The woman's definition of cleansing grew worse as Mary's abilities grew. These abilities were never quite under control though.
Somehow word got to Mary's father, Andrew Winthrop, about her situation. How word got to him was never something he told Mary, but late in the night he took the small 8-year old from her home and freed her, bringing her from the USA to London. It took Mary sometime before she realized she had side-along apparated.
Over the next few years, Mary and her father learned from each other. Mary on how to trust people again, Andrew on how the simplest thing can bring joy. Andrew made time for her as best he could, but he worked at St. Mungos and was often busy. Mary was grossly undereducated so Andrew lost no time in catching the girl up in general education. When the letter for Hogwarts came he beamed.
At Hogwarts Mary excelled in her studies. Overjoyed that yes her father had been right. Magic was not a sin. She became exceptional at Transfiguration and Charms, the rest of her classes she earned moderate grades. She made friends as best she could, though as much as her father had tried to help her learn how to socialize with people she still struggled a bit (except for the fast friendship she had with Apollo).
Since Voldemort was in power when Mary was rescued from her mother. Andrew made sure her paperwork showed her mother as a distant cousin of his who died of dragon pox that same year. He claimed that she had moved to America to give Mary some opportunities there. Mary upheld the lie for the first two years of school, since then she hasn't bothered to keep the lie up, but also doesn't go out of her way to fix it. Because of this, most people believe she is pureblood and her mother died of dragon pox when she was eight.
