I'm writing a character analysis about her and any random facts would be appreciated. Especially her likes and dislikes.

"Bloody Mary" was NOT Mary Queen of Scots but Mary TUDOR, Queen of England, the eldest daughter of Henry the 8th and she reigned before Queen Elizabeth the 1rst.
Mary STUART, Queen of Scots, was indeed engaged to be married to a young French prince (who became Francis the 2nd) when she was six years old, and they spent their childhood together but he died when he reached the age of 17, at which point she was sent back to Scotland.
She was a rather devout woman who thought that England should be removed from her cousin Elizabeth who was a protestant, and she plotted against her. She was jailed, and eventually executed at Fotheringhay at the age of forty four.
She loved dancing, horseriding, animals, and disguised herself to go out and escape the rigidity of the court. She loved the colour white which she wore for her first wedding. The anecdote posted above about her little dog is true. She was quite clever and well educated. However she was not a good judge of character, made disastrous marriages, and she did not have the brains of her cousin Elizabeth.
The Mary Stuart Society has devoted a whole website to her: her life, her tastes, etc...

Whe was Queen of France at one time. (widowed)
She was married to Lord Darnly and had one son. (Darnly was murdered)
She was married to Earl of Bothwell and had a set of twins ( he died in a prison in Denmark)
She claimed the throne of England when she actually had no claim.
Her mother was Mary of Guise who ruled as regent in Scotland for her daughter.
At the time of her death she was completely gray and wore wigs to cover that up.
She was not very smart and rather flightly.
Of course she loved every French since she had been raised in France by her mother's family.

She likes hunting and hawking. She was arrange to marry Francis de Valois II, and become the Queen of france. She was both the Queen of France and Scottland for a while until her husband died. She was related to Queen Elizabeth I, and wanted to dethrone her so she can become queen of England, but she was unsuccessful and was beheaded for treason.

She was the cousin of Elizabeth the 1st. She was the mother of James 1 of England who became King James who authorized the English translation of the Bible. She kept conspiring against Elizabeth and Elizabeth finally indirectly had her beheaded. She wasn't very nice, she was catholic and had many Protestants killed...hence the nickname Bloody Mary.

Mary had always loved animals and her little Skye terrier had brought her great comfort during the years in prison. It had curled itself around her feet while she knelt at the block and died just days after the queen.

She was very involved with France and was married to the heir to the French throne, who unfortunately died before acceding to the French throne. She intially had french advisors around her.
So you could speculate that she had French tastes and could speak French.

Wasnt she like the queen who got her head chopped off and walked around for like 10 seconds afterwards and if you say "bloody mary" 3 times in the dark in front of the mirrior she pops up and kills you? And the drink is also named after her? I dunno, I just guessed.
