Louisa (Bingley) Hurst

Louisa Hurst (née Bingley) is the older sister to Caroline Bingley and Charles Bingley, and wife of Mr. Hurst. She is described in Pride and Prejudice, along with her sister, as a "fine women, with an air of decided fashion", and also distainful of society in Meryton, Hertfordshire. She is (arguably) the nicer of the two sisters, but like Caroline, she does not encourage her brother's admiration of Jane Bennet because of her lack of connections, placing her (and Caroline's) personal chances of social advancement over her brother's happiness, and co-conspired with Caroline and Mr. Darcy to keep Charles and Jane apart.
