Worldview

Molly views the world through the lens of her own experiences and desires. She is aware of social expectations and conventions but often chooses to disregard them in favor of her own impulses.

Personality

Molly is a passionate, sensual, and somewhat self-centered woman. She is a performer, used to being admired and desired. She is independent-minded and has a strong sense of her own desires and needs.

In Their Own Words

"Hurry up with that tea, she said. I’m parched."
"O, Boylan, she said. He’s bringing the programme."
"That’s a lovely morning, sir, she said. Glory be to God."
