Mental Information
Personality: Molly’s personality changes based on who she happens to be around; she tends to reflect certain qualities that she admires in other people, as well. She despises all sorts of conflict and believes that can always (and always should be) avoided. She’s often described as ‘an airhead’ due to an apparent lack of any common sense or ‘street smarts’, but she’s a quick learner, which allows her to adapt to most situations and environments quickly. Grade-wise, she's quite intelligent.
Around strangers, Molly is very shy, and tries to avoid interaction with people she doesn’t know as much as possible. She even shies away from phoning in for pizza, and will often ask someone else to ask questions for her. She is always quite concerned about what other people think of her, and has a terrible habit of embarrassing herself. She’s a bit of a space-case and can often be found staring at nothing in particular, thinking deeply about something no one else would ever care about. A little eccentric overall. Likes: Anime/ manga, lemonade and iced teas, candy (and sweet food in general), bright colors, stripes, accessories, dancing. Dislikes: coffee, spicy food, strangers, fighting (of all kinds), texting (she’s terrible at it) Mentality/Ideal/Belief: Always worrying about something, although she’d never tell.

Physical InformationBuild: Built like a cardboard box, with virtually no chest or curves to speak of. Her legs are also rather long in comparison to the rest of her body. Defining Marks: A small tattoo at the small of her back; the Japanese kanji for ‘tranquility.’ Description:
Head: Molly’s face is framed with her hair. She’s a common ‘pretty Asian girl’, and as such, does not wear much makeup. She also doesn't wear hats, although she does like to wear hair accessories in large numbers. Torso: As mentioned, Molly’s chest is comparable to that of a ten-year old girl. She usually wears tank tops of varying colors to try and distract from the lack of anything 'up there', and usually carries a pull-on sweater with her wherever she goes. Arms: Definitely not particularly muscular; rather scrawny. Almost always bare of jewlery. Legs: Slightly longer than those of someone who shared her height. Due to her extensive dancing career, Molly’s legs are quite strong, and enable her to run quite fast. Most days, Molly wears white shorts which, somehow, are never dirty. Feet: Size 8. Footwear varies, but it always has grip in order for Molly to use parkour effectively. Misc: Molly always carries her bag with her; it can be seen here (minus the tag, of course) :www.geekalerts.com/u/cassettehandbag.jpg

Fighting InformationFighting Style: Parkour Years Practiced: 2 1/2 Description of style:
Parkour is an activity with the aim of moving from one point to another as efficiently and quickly as possible, using the abilities of the human body. It is meant to help one overcome obstacles, which can be anything in the surrounding environment—from branches and rocks to rails and concrete walls—and can be practiced in both rural and urban areas. Parkour practitioners are referred to as traceurs, or traceuses for females.
Most experienced traceurs think of parkour as a discipline closer to martial arts. The physical aspect of parkour is getting over all the obstacles in your path as you would in an emergency. You want to move in such a way, with any movement, as to help you gain the most ground on someone or something, whether escaping from it or chasing toward it." Thus, when faced with a hostile confrontation with a person, one will be able to speak, fight, or flee. As martial arts are a form of training for the fight, parkour is a form of training for the flight. A characteristic of parkour is efficiency. Practitioners move not only as rapidly as they can, but also in the most direct and efficient way possible.
There are fewer predefined movements in parkour than gymnastics, as it does not have a list of appropriate "moves". Each obstacle a traceur faces presents a unique challenge on how they can overcome it effectively, which depends on their body type, speed and angle of approach, the physical make-up of the obstacle, etc. Parkour is about training the body/mind to react to those obstacles appropriately with a technique that works. Often that technique cannot and need not be classified and given a name. In many cases effective parkour techniques depend on fast redistribution of body weight and the use of momentum to perform seemingly impossible or difficult body manoeuvres at speed. Absorption and redistribution of energy is also an important factor, such as body rolls when landing which reduce impact forces on the legs and spine, allowing a traceur to jump from greater heights than those often considered sensible in other forms of acrobatics and gymnastics. Also, wherever you go, you must be able to get back, if you go from A to B, you need to be able to get back from B to A, but not necessarily with the same movements.
Despite this, there are many basic techniques that are emphasized to beginners for their versatility and effectiveness. Most important are good jumping and landing techniques. The roll, used to limit impact after a drop and to carry one's momentum onward, is often stressed as the most important technique to learn.

Overall Strengths: Parkour places an emphasis on speed rather than strength, which benefit’s Molly’s slight build and long legs. It also compliments her desire to avoid conflict; as said above, parkour emphasises flight over fight. As well, Molly’s ability to think quickly and assess her surroundings allows her to identify how to conquer the obstacles presented. Since parkour can be practiced anywhere, there are very few situations in which Molly would be ‘stuck.’ Overall Weaknesses: Parkour does not include many, if any, techniques that are designed to actually physically contact an opponent; therefore, if Molly were to find herself in a position where escaping is impossible, she would not be properly trained to fight her way out. Additionally, she is often open to attack while practicing- the whole point is to escape rather than actually defend, so she is left with many vulnerable spots.

History Information
History: Molly was born in Japan; her mother, a member of a generic J-POP group, and her father an ardent fan. Through some bizarre twist of fate, they fell in love and headed back to North America, her mother already heavily pregnant with her daughter.
Molly spent an average and uneventful childhood in a small town, doing well in school and never getting into trouble. Even her introverted personality problems and desire to stay away from all things new and strange didn’t get in the way; after about a year, young Molly had a small group of close friends.
As they grew up, though, that group slowly grew apart. They all drifted off and found separate interests, forging new bonds as they went along. For Molly, this came through dance classes; she started when she was small, four years old, and stuck with it well into her teenage years. Dancing was her passion, and she could not imagine doing much else. She competed and excelled. Everyone was happy; her life was good.
When she was fifteen, however, she was introduced to parkour. A friend, a fellow dancer, had dabbled in it a little on a recent trip, and she showed Molly the basics she’d learned. It was certainly different from the style of dancing that Molly had grown used to, and at first it intimidated her. She wasn’t particularly fond of change, and the leap from contemporary dancing to parkour felt alien.
She decided to give it a chance, and after a while, found herself to be quite adept.
Between parkour and dancing, however, (neither of which Molly was willing to give up on) she had little time for her schoolwork. Her normally high grades began to slowly drop, and while she wasn’t failing, her parents were worried. They decided to send her off to school, away from the small town that they had raised her in, in hopes that living on her own would show Molly how important her education was. Leaving the studio she’d practiced in for years put a bit of an end to her dance career as she began to attend Public High School 259, but she continued to work on her parkour skills.
Some time into her schooling, her parents sent word that they were planning on moving, and that her mother was expecting once again; they would bring all her things with them, they said, and they would send word with the new address shortly. Molly decided to change schools in order to be closer to them, and found herself at Moral Crest High. [/size]
