Religion

Personality
Molly is a very go with the flow type of person, anything rarely gets under her skin, except for maybe flunking a test. You have to do some really jeavy, mean stuff to make her not like you. She likes to joke and pick on her friends but not in a malicious way. Her teasing is playful, and she does her best to make everyone feel loved and accepted. She really doesn't like people who are hypocritical or derogatory towards others. She believes heavily in checking yourself before saying something hurtful about someone else. Her mother instilled in her the old saying, "If you don't have anything nice to say don't say it at all. Molly is very studious many of her friends say she goes overboard with her school work, but Molly wants to prove to her mother that she can achieve her goals.
Molly wasn't always like that, when her father died, she went spiraling into depression and started hanging out with the not so savory crowd at school. This self destruction went on for almost three years, when Molly was coming to the end of her senior year of high school she found out she was pregnant. Unfortunately at this time Molly was at the height of her addiction to alcohol. Her mother finally convinced her to stop so the baby hopefully didn't receive any irreparable damage. After having the baby she gave custody of her daughter to her mother and went into rehab. After several months there she came out clean and more like the old Molly. She still fights with those demons but she now feels like she has lot's of things to grateful for and sober for. Because she is a recovering alcoholic she rarely goes out with friends if she thinks there's going to be drinking involved.

History
Her life was fairly normal in the beginning, her parents divorced when she was barely two years old, however Molly never felt neglected or hurt by it. Her parents were good about keeping what ever went wrong between them out of the relationship with their daughter. Both her though separate showed her decent amount of affection, she was loved but not spoiled. She lived with her mother but spent every other weekend with her father. He worked as a delivery man for a produce company, and her mother worked as a high school science teacher. Things continued like this through out Molly's childhood. She can remember going to the beach and collecting shells with her mother. Sitting on her father's lap as he built model planes, and listened to Elvis albums. For the most part she had a pretty good early childhood.
Problems started when Molly was about fifteen years old, her fatherhad always smoked. It was around this time that she noticed, he wasn't as spray and healthy looking as he had been when she was younger. It took some conjouling from her mother to make him go to the doctor. He was one of those types of men, who worked hard and didn't think nothing of going to work with a cough. He was fine he thought nothing a good dose of orange juice can't kill. But orange juice couldn't kill this, Molly's father was diagnosed with stage three lung cancer and it had started to spread all throughout his body. The doctors gave him less than a year, he was devastated. He had worked almost every day of his life, and now he could barely take care of himself. Out of the love that they had once shared, Molly's mother moved her father into her home. She and Molly worked hard to care for him. Ultimately he lived long enough to see Molly turn sixteen. It was just a couple of months after he passed away. Molly was hurt, sad, and angry all at the same time. She and her father had shared a close bond and now... he was gone. Molly didn't know what to do, she started acting out at school and at home, a once happy care free child became bitter and defiant. Molly's mother would worry all night waiting for Molly to come home. When she did she was drunk and would pass out on the couch in the living room. Molly's friends changed, the band kids were replaced by kids that did God knows what. Molly's mother feared if she tried to push Molly that she would leave. So she kept quiet and tried to help her daughter without causing a fight.
For almost four years this went on, till one day a couple months after a drunken party Molly realized something was off about herself... she was late. Since she had hit puberty, things were typically on a regular schedule. Rarely did she miss... and especially not for two months. Not wanting to alert her mom she went to a local woman's clinic, and found out what she had dreaded.. Molly was pregnant. She waited a compare weeks before telling her mother hoping maybe it was a fluke or maybe she would miscarry. However that never happened, when she told her needless to say she wasn't surprised. She immediately began beg Molly to quit drinking for the sake of the baby. Molly didn't want to and went on that she didn't want the baby anyway, why should she stop having fun? She went off in fit of anger a didn't talk to her mother for a week. Then guilt started to creep in and she felt bad, it wasn't the baby's fault it was there. She had been the one to get pregnant. Coming back to her mother was hard, and trying to stop drinking was even harder. However eventually she managed to stop, she got through the pregnancy fairly well. Leilah was born six weeks early and some symptoms of fetal alcohol syndrome. She spent a month in the NICU, when Leilah came home Molly was overwhelmed. Trying to make up her schooling so she could graduate and get into a decent college all on top of a newborn baby that to Molly never stopped crying. She began to feel the urge to numb the stress in alcohol. This time Molly didn't give in, as soon as she graduated high school she checked herself in to rehab and left her daughter's care to her mother, feeling Leilah would have a much more productive and happy life with her grandmother. Molly spent several months in rehab, when she came back she had a new found confidence and felt like she could finally make something of herself. She started college at BYU Hawaii, she spent three years there but she felt even more compelled to push herself harder. If she was ever going to be a mother to her daughter she had to do this. She applied for a scholarship to NYU never expecting to get it, but was excited when she did, she could finally be somewhere and specialize in neurobiology like she wanted. Molly hated leaving Hawaii behind, and her family, but this would only make her stronger.
