How can you describe Laura Ingalls Wilder's siblings?

Answer 1

Mary: Older, much more mannerly and sedate, Mary was very much her mother's daughter.

Blond hair and blue eyes, both of which Laura envied. A natural student, Mary wanted to be a teacher from her earliest years, until her blindness at age 14.

Carrie: Thin and spindly from early childhood, Laura (and others) were of the opinion that Carrie never really recovered from the brutal impact of the Hard Winter. Pale blue eyes and light brown hair. Carrie was not an invalid, or anything like that, but she never did enjoy robust health at any time in her life (may have been asthmatic).

Grace: Blond hair and blue eyes again. Grace was somewhat spoiled by the family as a baby. As an early adolescent, she began to put on weight, and was "somewhat heavy" to outright overweight all of her adult life. Like her sisters Carrie and Laura, Grace was afflicted with Diabetes later in life.
