Along with Rosie, Mary Louise is one of Gretchen’s sidekicks. Together, the three girls bully Squeaky and her brother Raymond. Mary Louise used to be Squeaky’s friend: Squeaky stood up for Mary Louise when she first moved to Harlem from Baltimore, since Squeaky and Mary Louise’s mothers used to sing in a choir together. But ever since Mary Louise began hanging out with Gretchen, she talks badly about Squeaky and mocks Raymond for his disability.
