Maggie

I like Maggie's character a lot. She's quiet and shy and timid, but she seems strong to me. She's a million times more conscious of her heritage than Dee is, and she loves it. Although she wouldn't say she wanted the quilts, she got her opinion in too when she said "I can 'member Grandma Dee without the quilts." This was a sort of jab at Dee for her initial rejection of their heritage and then her need to have African things because that was the only reminder she had since she distanced herself from it. Maggie doesn't expect anything at all. She is almost a foil of Dee because she loves her heritage and is quiet and shy, and this makes her even more likable. She's content with a simple life and the fact that she's black. She sees no reason to be ashamed when she can embrace it and enjoy it.
