Personality
A warm, outgoing and upbeat young woman with a more subtle playful side, Molly Morgan can be charming and adventurous but also at times more mischievous and vain than her innocent visage might imply. The type of person who enjoys the company of others and having a good time, Molly is a fair minded and empathic soul who loves to smile and giggle, and cherishes those that she has gotten close to.
Energetic and eager, Molly tends to be the sort of person who can make friends quickly and easily, possessing a bubbly personality and affable nature that can charm most people and her good looks also do not hurt one bit in this regard. Often showing a strong sense of conscience as well as care and consideration toward other people, Miss Morgan has a noticeably ‘maternal’ bearing about her that makes her loyal and protective of others, and ardent if she needs to be. The sort who tends to find she is ‘strongest’ for the sake of other people, and while she is certainly not lacking for self-esteem or confidence in of herself, it is the sense of compassion that this emerald eyed lass possesses that feeds her determination the most and is principally why she has opted to study as a pro hero despite being afforded the chance to be a lady of leisure so to speak.
Some perhaps choosing to describe her personality as somewhat ‘angelic’ normally, Miss Morgan has a big heart that she often tends to wear on her sleeve, and most commonly seems to seek harmony and happiness over all other things. Idealistic and trusting of people unless she is given a strong reason not to be, it is rare for Molly to give up on a person and she usually maintains a strong sense of optimism even in harsh circumstances, making her a good source of encouragement and support for others if they need it. Very empathetic, the green eyed girl is forgiving and highly open-minded, she usually tends to be patient with others in order to give them a chance to show them who they are deep down rather than accepting things at first glance or face value.
This aspect perhaps sourced from the fact that she too has ‘layers’ that not everyone sees or she chooses not to share with everyone, whilst her kindness and compassion are very clear, there are sides to her character that are not quite as wholesome as people might assume. Carrying a subtle sense of mischief, because of the image that is so strongly associated with her sometimes Molly can tend to enjoy acting childish and even a little ‘weird’ at times, carrying more eccentricities than might be immediately apparent to most and sometimes wearing a façade to conceal this fact from people she isn’t familiar with.
This habit something that seems to have been born from a combination of her thoughtfulness, and aspects of a lonely upbringing, there have been times when Miss Morgan has needed to hide certain aspects about herself so despite being open and frank at times, she can also be reluctant to share things that she might worry would make people uncomfortable. Perhaps a little more guarded than she might seem though this often more down to the fact that she prefers not to offend or upset others, Molly tends to reveal more of her naughtiness around those she grows close to, and holds a certain kind of personal pride in surprising those people with the difference that may be observed in these circumstances.
Certainly not minding being seen as a ‘good girl’, so to speak, but eager to impress that this is not all she is, Molly can demonstrate aspects to her person that might catch others off guard, and a lifetime of doing so has given her a sense of amusement and esteem in this fact. More of a thrill seeker than she might initially present herself as, Miss Morgan likes a little excitement in her life, and certainly isn’t some virginal maiden in regard to amorous pursuits either. Seeming to have a fondness for those who are direct and even perhaps a little rough around the edges in this regard, because this can surprise some given her usual manner this beautiful brunette has learned to be bold and is also very adaptable and open minded in her approach, though prefers a little discretion in matters of affection and intimacy.
Affection something that Molly seems to do very well, she is honest and open with her emotions, and eager to comfort those who are struggling with theirs. Quick to embrace another if they need some support or simply to show her sense of fondness for them, Miss Morgan can be somewhat touchy feely with other people and seems to like bodily contact with those that she is attached to, often being the kind of girl who would lean against or pull a friend into her when in close company, and think very little of it. In fact, these sorts of situations seem to provide her with the strongest sense of fulfilment and relaxation, and the girl would tend to be more closed off and anxious around people who seemed uncomfortable with her habits.
Even tempered and gentle in her manner overall but certainly still having a breaking point, Molly can show a temper and if pushed to this point shows a side to her character that is stern and strong-minded, though she often only shows this when provoked by cruelty and senseless aggression. However, her forgiving and empathic nature tends to overrule her temper, so Miss Morgan will tend to drop grudges with a sufficient show of remorse or reasoning to justify certain actions.
Appearance
A pretty young woman with long and stylish brown hair, Molly is an attractive young woman whose sense of modesty might prevent her from showing off how good she looks sometimes. Slim in terms of her physique but not lacking for a few developing curves, she is reasonably tall and an active lifestyle has left her with a kind of dancer’s frame, her modest clothing often concealing a somewhat toned physique.
The face of the girl possessing a pleasing, refined set of features, Miss Morgan has a pretty face that looks innocent and somewhat angelic ordinarily, with large eyes and a narrows and delicate looking overall shape to her face. Emerald eyed, Molly possesses irises of a rich and glittering green colour, they can look quite dazzling when caught by the light and are framed by a set of long, dark lashes which can make a wink or flutter seem to hold such promise.
Keeping her vibrant mid-brown locks rather long, they reach all the way down to her lower back, the sense of waviness that is possessed by Molly’s tresses could remind one of a rolling tide. More often than not wearing her hair with a centre parting at the front, she often tends to emphasize the wavy and coiling nature of her hair by sporting drill-like strands that hang down her cheeks, and for functionality will usually tie those long locks into a thick braid at the back of her head. This, however, merely her usual style, Miss Morgan will alter her do on whims and to fit circumstances, and has a subtle sense of pride and vanity in her hair since she likes making it look good.
Somewhat modest and rather feminine in her sense of style, it is very rare to see Molly wearing pants and on the whole she tends to favour dresses or skirts, and seems to favour items that are a little old fashioned and somewhat stuffy. Not really liking overly short skirts and preferring a long hem with more freedom, Miss Morgan likes summer dresses and flowing gowns over all other forms of clothing, though can be the sort who would wear a blouse or sweater with a relatively ‘sensible’ looking skirt. That not to say that she has some kind of compulsion to conceal her figure but this rather the kinds of clothing that the girl has grown most accustomed to, Miss Morgan has plenty of body confidence and doesn’t mind flaunting her figure if her situation or even her vanity demands it.
Often quite bold in her choice of swimwear, Molly can be a little showy since she eagerly wears two-pieces and numbers that are elegant and adult, and can also lend this tendency in situation which calls for formality and glamour. Often surprising others with her choices she might make when she has an opportunity to ‘dress up’, given the modest and wholesome manner in which she styles herself ordinarily, one might be surprised to see Miss Morgan in an outfit that emphasizes her bust or long legs in a stylish fashion, since she certainly seems to know how to make herself look good if the occasion calls for it.
Seeming to have an odd sense of amusement in this way, sometimes the girl can like surprising people by making herself look that bit different and she also has a strong sense of festivity, which means she will sometimes sport ensembles that people might view as unusual simply for her sense of enjoyment. Not exactly what one might call an avid cosplayer but still seeming to get a kind of giddy thrill from wearing something that’s a combination of silly and sexy, while she can be subtle in expressing this fact Miss Morgan certainly enjoys getting a little validation from her good looks, but usually prefers to do that on her own terms.

Background
A young girl that was born merely eighteen and some years ago, Molly Morgan was one of twins born to the couple of Harry and Melina Morgan, a coupling of a young pirate pair who had fallen in love and married. Perhaps it would give a greater impression of the product of this union to offer an insight into the people and circumstance that birthed her? With that in mind, you should know that Harry was a pirate from the blues who had worked with a few crews earning a name for himself, and had a dream like many others; he wanted to find the ultimate prize, One Piece. Undoubtedly one who had heard the call of Roger and decided to delve into a free life at sea, Mr Morgan was the adventurous sort and a small success of piracy.
Meeting the mother of his future children by chance, she came from a wealthy family and yet was lonely and isolated, and bumped into Harry only at a gala he had stolen into as part of a heist. Seeming to spot the pretty woman who was all on her own and think her a greater prize than any gold or jewel, he moved to romance her and with persistence managed to pull off his attempt, and whisked her away upon his ship for an adventure into the great seas of piracy. Spending some time together in fact and their love never faltering, Melina found herself pregnant and so the pair opted to settle down and start a family, but before they could a cruel fate fell upon them.
Harry intervening in an argument and seeming to offend one of the participants doing so, while he seemed to settle the dispute said party waited until his back was turned and emptied their pistol into it, killing the man and robbing the family of a husband and a father. As a result the heartbroken Melina having nowhere to turn to but her former family, while her own patriarch seemed cold in response to his daughter's plight her mother intervened on behalf of the girl and the grandchildren, and managed to secure at least enough money to pay for a house to raise little Molly and Milo who were born not long afterward.
Molly nor her twin brother not remembering her father as a result of the cruelty even before they were born, all they had to go on were their mothers stories and those of the people who knew him, and while the woman and her children were not wealthy in money or means they were in terms of friendship and affection. The little girl running into plenty a sea dog over her life that seemed to have heard his name, he was the sort who had garnered plenty of stories of amusement, ranging from his days as an apprentice and rookie to those as a more seasoned veteran.
Many respecting the man and some looking upon him favourably, few had a bad word to say about him to his daughter, as she grew up Molly dreamed of going with him next time, and was smitten with the idea of becoming a pirate like he was even from a young age. Daring, upbeat and outgoing and yet also sweet and well meaning, she was assured and confident and vastly different to her often anxious twin brother, Milo, who seemed to be sensitive and easily rattled. Acting like a big sister because of this in spite of the fact that she wasn't, though their personalities seemed to clash by no small amount there was no conflict between the pair, and in all honesty they tended to round one another out nicely since he often proved the voice of reason, or caution where needed, and strong in his own way when the time came as well.
Naturally getting into scrapes both because of her heritage and how it seemed to draw brigands to their land, many islanders seemed to look down on the Morgan family for being from pirate stock, and made both children an initial target for bullying and battles because of this. Perhaps the blood of her parent shining through when this happened however, though often reluctant Molly proved an able combatant even in her youth, able to hold her own against larger boys with a broomstick or something in hand. Moreover seeming to win the townsfolk over with her endearing manner however, she was inquisitive and hopeful, and had the kind of bright eyes and positivity which seemed to encourage most to be a little better than they were.
Living in a land where the local law was somewhat lazy and lacking as the forces of justice had business elsewhere, every now and then there seemed to be a passing pirate crew that would moor up and use the land for a base of operations. As long as money found a path into the right pockets, there seemed that a call to the local Marine base would be eternally forgotten, which was a corruption that the father of our focus found useful when he stopped by, and even when he was away that didn’t mean the business wasn’t open to others.
The bar where her mother worked frequented by pirate crews often because of this, many were friendly to both on account of respect for Harry and fondness for the little lass who didn't seem all that daunted by them, and doted on the girl for that and the help she would provide then when able as well. Running little chores and acting as a lookout or scout, she earned some pocket money being sent on chores for the crews and when a crew was in town often spent her time on the taller cliffs or towers swinging a stick or a pipe around like a sword, and keeping an eye on the horizon for marines or rival groups.
Rewarded by them with both coin and stories of the sea, they seemed to enjoy her brassy and precocious attitude. Bonding with a few of these figures because of this, Molly proved as popular company with them as her mother or any of her friends, and often joined the gangs for meals and such to ask after their adventures and stories about her dear old dad. Even getting her first taste of alcohol during this time, she was given a mug as a joke by one of the brigands in order to prove she was an adult in spirit, and sank it in one go. However, soon afterward she found herself feeling rather sick, and after spewing the majority back up was carried to bed by her mother as laughter rang out.
Growing into a ten year old who some might have considered to be a problem child by most of those responsible, the rough and tough lass was used to getting involved in little adventures, and felt like every fresh story that she would tell her dad at bedtime, almost like a prayer. One of these proving a peach in fact, Molly would often comb the beaches nearby for 'treasure' that was washed up by shipwrecks, while usually all they found was flotsam and old furniture that she and her friends used to build a little fort in the woods one day while combing through wreckage it seemed she found the motherlode.
Unearthing a small and locked chest which she quickly squirreled away because she thought it would contain treasure, it had been battered by storms and worse and when Molly finally got it open, she discovered something perhaps even more valuable than a collection of gold and jewels. Producing a small and odd looking fruit from the item that almost looked like an ornament; she showed it to her brother and friends and identified it as a Devil Fruit with the help of a book from the library, and was ecstatic.
Dividing it between all of them in the hopes of getting fantastic powers like their tome described, the information was sketchy at best, and the intrepid lass first to swallow her piece as they cut it up with a knife. Inheriting the powers thusly, though the gang was a little disappointed not to all get a share, at the very least they had the joy of seeing the strange power Molly developed and revelled in that.
Practicing with her new abilities and learning to master them in a variety of ways, and soon found fun in the fact she could use her power to stop herself from being hurt when she fell from trees or rooftops, or slip through gaps under doors and windows as well. But really, this was just the tip of the iceberg, as she would eventually discover. Learning to use the ability to battle thugs and bullies as well with time, it was funny to watch them take a swing for her and hit nothing but an animated puddle, or fall into the swampy traps she created as well.
One day encountering man by the name of Eulogy Grant, after a short discourse he revealed that he was a retired pirate and affirmed he was also an old friend of her father's when she mentioned him, Molly offered up a place on their couch to stay for the time being on account of this and for a little while he moved in with the family as an almost parental influence.
Young Miss Morgan fascinated by him, constantly badgering him to hear about her father and tales from the high seas, the man doted on both children like an uncle or even a father. Having a modest wealth from his career, he treated the mother and daughter to a few fine meals and gave the matriarch some money as board until he found a place, saying their home was better than any inn. The hostility of Merry seeming to ease as she grew more comfortable around the man, he became the de facto baby sitter of the young girl, making sure she steered clear of the pirates who had bad attitudes until they were moved onto another port by the lawmen of the town.
It is disappointing that when something seems too good to be true, it usually is. The image of this smooth talking pirate unravelled as he spent time with Molly, while a man with a silver tongue, he was far from the friend her purported to be. Revealing to the twins that he was here looking for the treasure of a seafarer named Westley who had buried his cache here decades ago, with her knowledge of the local area he promised her to split their prize if she helped them find it.
This understanding of the terrain of the island proving invaluable, with the clever mind of Eulogy and the ability to apply it regionally, they managed to track down the site of the treasure by sunset. Digging up a large chest buried in the middle of nowhere, Molly had never seen so much gold and gems, there seemed more than plenty for both of them, and the lass began to talk about how she could use their share to pay mama's bills and even set up a 'starter fund' for her future ambitions toward piracy. However, Eulogy was having none of it.
Showing his true colours as he double crossed her, Eulogy apologised to Molly for his betrayal in his usually cordial manner, nonchalantly pulling a pistol on the girl and declaring all the loot his. Claiming that her share of the prize was the valuable lesson of how dangerous pirates were, though daunted, the girl opted to challenge his claim and showed her devil fruit ability in response to him lining up a shot to finish her.
Transforming into liquid and taking up one of the shovels while he was surprised soon after, he Molly managed to disarm him of his pistol with her skills and her improvised weapon.
Claiming the prize for her own, the frustrated Eulogy sprang for his gun again, and was this time clonked around the head by Milo before he could do anything, and subsequently pounded by the pair. After that the children binding him, Milo ran to get their mother, who showed a little shrewdness in squirreling away the prize, before they handed Eulogy over to the local lawmen.
Selling off pieces here and there so as not to draw too much attention toward them, Mama no longer had to worry about working all the shifts under the sun to keep a rented roof over the heads of her children, and in time used some of their gain to buy the bar she once worked at in order to keep up appearances more than anything. Molly now the one who was forced to work shifts in her place while Melina largely seemed to serve drinks and enjoy her new position and security, though over time seemed to ease up on her naughty girl, and give her at least enough freedom to pursue a relatively normal teenage life, even if she did continue to give her trouble if she caused it.
This something that always seemed to find Molly after all, while one might have liked to imagine that the providence that was discovered helped her to live a relatively comfortable life, it seemed old habits and dreams were hard to break. Still surrounded by pirates and the bar becoming more of a den than ever for them with Melina in charge, she couldn't help but yearn for the adventure of the seas and the patriarch she lost, and so ultimately lost no resolve in going after her dreams.
Milo going off to study thanks to the 'college fund' cache he discovered and her reason to stay diminishing all the more because of that, even though he had always been running around after his sister it seemed that Molly was more lost without him, and only able to think of one way she wanted to live her life. Mother naturally trying to push her away from the idea but ultimately accepting she had too much of her father in her to be deterred, she opted to support the idea, knowing from her own experience how dangerous it was to be held back from one's destiny.
Teaching her a few of her moves in order to protect herself and even taking her out to sea a few times as well, though she was rusty the matriarch was able to show her daughter how to handle a sail and how to navigate and take care of herself, and then finally bid farewell to her when Molly was a woman of eighteen years old. Confident that she could look after herself at this point, she handed over a small fishing boat that she had bought from one of the locals, and wished her daughter well, making her promise to come home to her one day and look in on her brother as she did so. With this the girl departing her home, she now sets out wide eyed into the world, aiming to create her own crew and ready to face the trials and treats the sea can bring her, hoping to live up to her old man's legacy and find that prize he wanted; the One Piece!
