Margaret 'Maggie' Curtis is the twin of Sodapop Curtis and the sister of Darry and Ponyboy Curtis. Growing up with three boys can make a girl real tough and that's what happened with Maggie. She is a fun-loving, carefree, boy-crazy, look-obsessed 17 year old. She is almost as close to her brothers' group of friends as they are, hangs out with them when she is bored, and considers them her good friends. She's only ever hung out with Dallas Winston a few times in the past 3 years she's known him because Darry is extremely protective of her not only because she is her brother but because Dallas has quite the reputation. Speeding tickets, run-ins with the police, arrests, drinking, parties, girls, and gambling are some of the things that make up the criminal record of Dallas Winston. If not all, some of things would scare a girl away but not Maggie. She doesn't know it but she's attracted to boys who cause trouble.
