Intro. Mary is the daughter of a Caucasian man and a mixed-race (3/4th white, 1/4th black) woman, possibly out of affair, making her a mixed-race person. However, her skin color is white rather than black. It is implied that her father left her because he's ashamed that anyone would find out about his interracial relationship with a mixed-race woman.
