Best Answer

Her name is Mary King. We do not see a lot of her.

She first appears as a young woman who dances with Bingley, in Chapter 3.

Later, in Chapter 26, we find that she has acquired a fortune of ten thousand pounds, and that Wickham has given up courting Elizabeth for her. Elizabeth realizes when this happens, that she is not seriously attached to Wickham, as she can view the whole without much regret.

Mary King is mentioned once again in Chapter 36, when Lydia tells Elizabeth that she has been taken away to Liverpool by her uncle, and so Wickham's intentions toward her have come to an end.
