Background[]
Early Life[]
Molly was born on August 23, 1993, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[1] She spent most of her youth in a small town in Ohio, where she was a relatively well-behaved girl and a devout churchgoer. She had a loving father who did everything he could for her, but her mother abandoned her at a young age. Molly grew up believing her mother left because she found both her father and their small town boring, which deeply scarred her.
Her life took a dark turn when her boyfriend died in a car crash that she caused. Struggling to cope with both his death and her role in it, she began to punish herself through self-sabotaging behaviors. She distanced herself from her religious upbringing, dyed her hair pink, got her nipple pierced, and covered herself in tattoos.
Early Adulthood[]
Wanting to escape her past, Molly chose to attend Washington Central University instead of Ohio State University. She majored in Business/Marketing[1] but showed little interest in academics, focusing instead on her social life.
During her early college years, she engaged in reckless partying, casual hookups, and drug and alcohol use after attending a fraternity party for a weekend. Her rebellious behavior became a form of self-destruction, fueled by unresolved guilt and emotional turmoil over her past.
Physical Appearance[]
Molly is described to be thin, with pink hair, and loads of eyeliner surrounding her eyes. It is revealed that her natural hair is blonde despite her pink locks. She dresses provocatively and has many tattoos, as well as, a nipple piercing.
Personality[]
Molly is a girl that desires attention and love. She goes as far as giving herself up to men and baring her body just to be praised. She can be harsh when sharing her opinion and do mean things to others but she has a good heart deep down.
Notes and Trivia[]
