Mary Jane Wilks is the eldest niece of the deceased George Wilks; sister of Joanna and Susan Wilks. She is a beautiful red-headed girl that is easily fooled. She is recognized as the typical stereotypical women of the antebellum south (Pre-Civil War South... meaning during the 1830s - 1860s when the novel took place). She is kind hearted but not very intelligent and she becomes convinced that the King is her real uncle - although he is a fraud; which the physician, Dr. Robinson, reveals to them - and not a fraud until Huck tells her the truth.
