Civilian

Pastry Chef in Training--- Molly works as her Aunt’s apprentice in a small but moderately successful bakery, specializing in dessert foods, pastries and the like. She is slowly learning the trade, but has yet to debut any of her original recipes. In addition to baking, she is also the one called upon if there are heavy items that need to be lifted or re-located. She does a majority of the cleaning around the bakery as well. It’s hard work, but she enjoys it nonetheless.

Personality

Molly is a very hardy girl. She is someone who knows what she wants in life, and has the endurance to work towards achieving her goals. No matter how long it may take, she keeps moving forward, with her eye on the prize. Having been raised on a cattle farm, Molly is accustomed to hard and tedious work, and has a great deal of patience because of it. But, she also understands that life must not revolve only around work, and tries to be as socially active as she can.

Molly likes people a lot, and is the type of person to smile at strangers if eye contact is made. She generally has a very sunny disposition, and loves to be in the company of others. She tends to act very motherly towards the people she cares about, and has been known to spoil them in every way she can. While she is talkative, Molly is also a very good listener, and is always willing to lend an ear when one is needed. She tries to be a very open person that people can find approachable. Her kindness is genuine, and her cheeriness definitely present, but not overpowering.

There are, however, a few things that can wipe Molly’s sincere smile clean off her face and make her brows furrow in anger or irritation. She is very sensitive about her southern accent, and before coming to the city, she tried her best to get rid of it, but a small twang is still evident in her speech, noticeable enough to identify her southern roots. If someone makes a snide or rude comment in regards to her accent, Molly’s mood will sour instantly, her normally cheery demeanor will dissipate, and she becomes very defensive. She wants nothing more than to be taken seriously, and she has been denied that many times due to her accented speech, making her very self-conscious about it. She also has a strong distaste for people who take advantage of others to preserve their own laziness. Being as hard a worker as she is, seeing someone who cares so little getting what they want without putting forth any effort can really make her blood boil.

Appearance

Molly is nothing special height wise, standing at about 5’’7. She has fair skin with just the hint of a tan, and a head of thick, layered red hair—a trait she inherited from her mother. Her brilliant red locks are medium in length, falling a few inches past Molly's shoulders. Her large chocolate brown eyes are framed by long, dark lashes, and she has a beauty mark just beneath her left eye. She is naturally curvy, with an emphasis on her hips and (especially) her bosom. Her body is very toned from years of working on her family’s farm, but not in an overly muscular way. She maintains a very feminine figure.

Her choices in clothing are very casual. She tends to pick looser fitting shirts to try and draw attention away from her ample chest, tired of all the stares and inquiries about whether or not “they're real”. T-shirts, sweatshirts, button down flannel shirts with layers—these are all commonly found in Molly’s wardrobe, more often than not paired with hip-hugging bell bottom jeans and tennis shoes or her beloved cowboy boots. In winter, she switches her baggy tees and button-downs out for thick sweaters and poofy winter coats. She also has a small collection of different aprons she wears when baking in her spare time, testing out new recipes she has created.

History

Molly was the second oldest of 5 children (as well as the only girl) born to Adeline and Howard Pritchett in Maycomb County, Alabama. She was always a great deal more ambitious than her brothers, helping out as much as she could around the ranch while still doing fairly well in school. She was constantly trying new things, looking for something, anything that could spark some sort of passion within her. And, when she was 10, she finally found what she was looking for.

Her Aunt Elizabeth (Adeline’s younger sister, and the origin of Molly’s middle name) came to stay with them for a couple of months while she was going through a nasty divorce. Molly had only met her once, but she was far too young to remember it, so for her it seemed as if she were meeting the woman for the very first time.

During her stay, Aunt Elizabeth, a Pastry Chef by profession, began to cook in the Pritchett family kitchen daily in order to take her mind of the stress she was under. Molly would watch her make one gorgeous creation after another, and found herself wanting to do the same. Impressed by Molly’s eagerness to learn, Aunt Elizabeth took the youngster under her wing and began teaching her the basics of baking. Molly caught on quickly, and developed an intense passion for baking.

Eventually, the divorce business was settled, and Aunt Elizabeth had to return to her home in Los Angeles. Molly continued to bake, and kept in constant contact with her Aunt. Aunt Elizabeth would tell Molly about life in the city, how busy it was, how diverse—and she would always say how much she wished Molly could see it. Molly wanted to see the city too, and as much as she loved her home, she knew her opportunities in Maycomb County were very few.

As she was nearing the end of high school, her Aunt asked her if she would be interested in coming to live with her in L.A. and work in the pastry shop she owned. Molly was overjoyed, and, after barely convincing her reluctant parents, she planned to head to L.A. after graduation and work alongside her beloved Aunt.

Molly spent her final year of school preparing for the big move, and, in hopes that she would be taken more seriously if she did it, began trying to get rid of her thick southern accent. After what seemed like an eternity, graduation came and went. Molly had her high school diploma, and with her family seeing her off, hopped on a bus and headed for Los Angeles.

When she arrived in the city, her Aunt came and picked her up. The two made their way to the small loft above Aunt Elizabeth’s bakery that Molly would now be calling home. Molly couldn’t help being amazed at the sights and sounds of the city; she’d never even left the state of Alabama before this. But instead of feeling overwhelmed and scared, like many from her hometown would, she became even more excited. It was like everything her Aunt had described, and more. After imagining what the big city was like for years and years, she now found herself smack-dab in the middle of the wondrous concrete jungle. The newest, most exciting chapter of her life had just begun, and she couldn’t wait to get things started.

Additional Details

--Molly doesn’t scare easily. She can handle critters of all kinds, both creepy and crawly, and isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty.

--While she’s working, she’ll often sing or hum to herself, but she has no sense of pitch whatsoever…

--Molly is constantly creating new, unique (and, though very rarely, inedible) recipes and keeps a book of them, in hopes that one day she’ll be able to debut them.

--She has taken over as caretaker of the Ball Python that her Aunt has been (reluctantly) keeping. Apparently, it belonged to one of Aunt Elizabeth’s many boyfriends over the years, and he had just left it behind. Molly has affectionately named the reptile “Nina”.

--Molly is drinking sweet tea almost constantly, the one southern comfort she’ll never be able to live without.
