The Sisters of Downton

Lady Mary, Lady Edith, and Lady Sybil all live together in the Downton Abbey Estate. Lady Mary is known to be the most popular among the girls for catching young suitors attention. Lady Edith in the beginning of the series was known to be the more whiney of the sisters, constantly complaining and nagging on her sisters. Yet, she has become more indepedant since then and in the 5th Season decided to run a newspaper business. Lady Sybil was known to be the most down-to-earth and resourceful of the bunch, leaving behind Tom and a young daughter (baby Sibby) after passing away suddenly. The three girls are very unique in their own way but all contribute to the plot and make for an interesting story of love, deception, and courage.
