Mary (A Girl Like Grace)

Mary is the main antagonist in the drama film A Girl Like Grace (2016). She is beautiful, but also vain, self-obsessed, sadistic, hypocritical and rude. In the film, she and her posse of mean girls relentlessly bully the protagonist Grace and mock her of her questioning sexuality as well as her lesbian relationship with her late best friend Andrea. Throughout the film, Mary and her team try to humiliate Grace to the point of suicide like they did before, going as far as to spy on Grace when she loses her virginity with her boyfriend and then out the news to the whole school and then place beach sand in the girl's locker while chanting slut-shaming rhymes such as "nasty stanky hoe" continually at Grace in front of the whole school. When Mary pushes Grace one last time by shoving her into the swimming pool and calling her homophobic slurs, it's revealed that Mary was the one responsible for Grace's friend and lover Andrea committing suicide in the first place, though Mary denies this and puts the blame on the innocent Grace. Grace discovers this and tackles Mary in the girl locker room, punching and kicking her continually. Mary doesn't put up much of a fight and reveals her cowardice by covering herself. When the fight's over, the principle and a school guidance counselor are seen pulling Grace and Mary apart during which, a bloodied and bruised Mary tries to attack Grace one more time, this time by punching but fails and is left for ridicule with her horrified girl squad, much to herself and the girls dismay. She is portrayed by singer/actress Raven Symone'.
