The daughter of Richard DeVargas and Laure Dranguet.

Mary Belle became quite a curiosity shortly after her birth when it was revealed she'd been born with no arms. She would compensate the lack of hands by using her feet to write and draw with. Her artistic talent developed along with practical dexterity in cooking, taking photographs and playing musical instruments. Her passion was drawing and painting and she became a sought after artist. Her art studio was located on Front Street.
