Mary Agnes

I would say yes.

You see her flirting with the soldiers at the train station, then yelling at them to leave her alone. She likes the attention, probably because she lives with so many young children and has no real mother or father figure.

She's looking for love, but unfortunately the wrong kind for her.

You are correct in your assumption. In the novel there is a character left out of the film (Melony who is a great character, unfortunately she is too bad@$$ for Hollywood), and some of her traits are passed on to Mary Agnes (was in the novel) and Buster (made up for the movie). In the book Meloney and Homer were the two oldest and had a brief affair for no other reason than there was no other options. Melony was a menace and somewhat of a bully (as we see in Mary Agnes), but was also a person Homer could talk to and because she was left out, they invented Buster to take over the role of Homer's closest orphan companion.

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man. - The Dude
