Mr. William Fletcher
Mary is Charles Leslie and Alice Fletcher’s younger daughter. Born in England, she is baptized as Faith upon joining the Fletcher household in America. She is shy and used to being indulged by her family. Faith is taken captive during Mononotto’s raid on Bethel. Always attached to Oneco, she later marries him and chooses to live among the American Indians for the rest of her life. She also converts to Roman Catholicism. While Faith is briefly reunited with Hope and the rest of her English family, she is disoriented and deeply unhappy, unable to remember English or her earliest childhood. She and Oneco eventually escape back to the forest.

Quotes
[Hope] gazed intently on the little bark—her whole soul was in that look. Her sister was there. At this first assurance, that she really beheld this loved, lost sister, Hope uttered a scream of joy; but when, at a second glance, she saw her in her savage attire, fondly leaning on Oneco's shoulder, her heart died within her; a sickening feeling came over her, an unthought of revolting of nature; and instead of obeying the first impulse, and springing forward to clasp her in her arms, she retreated to the cliff, leaned her head against it, averted her eyes, and pressed her hands on her heart, as if she would have bound down her rebel feelings.
