Birthday: February 15, 1991
Method of Creation: #1- Molly is my favorite name!
Creation Story:
Molly has been my favorite name since I began college because of a dear friend of mine. The more I fell in love with the name the more my mind screamed at me to make my own Molly. I had this image in my head of someone who was "fierce" with a unique aura to go right along with it. For whatever reason, I decided that she had an identical twin sister who had another of one of my favorite names and thus Molly and Michelle were written down in early 2009 just in time to become 2009 Newcomers.

I wanted Molly to be quirkier than anyone else up to that point so I took her (and Michelle) in a completely different direction than anyone else and observed them as they grew through their college years. Molly is definitely unique, even from Michelle. The two look almost exactly alike but Molly prefers her hair to be no longer than shoulder length whereas Michelle has hers longer. Both of them carry around huge backpacks filled to the brim with everything one could possibly imagine, earning them the "Go-To" title. From bandaids to a stapler, the twins have it all and are always there to help someone in need. Probably the most popular tools in their backpacks are wrenches (for fixing wobbly stands) and a variety of woodwind maintenance tools.
Molly speaks with a somewhat stuttery, jittery, and rushed tone unlike anyone else. She is quite curvy and somewhat busty and loves wearing fitted tees and skirts. She is also quite fond of bandannas to keep her scalp from getting burned in the sun and to help accessorize her somewhat hippie style.

Molly is also a huge fan of accessories and is in love with bracelets, rings, and necklaces. A lot of her style has to do with the fact that she desperately wants to live in Isle Del Akai someday and has dreamed of living there since she first heard about IDA in school. She is a Tarra native and has lived there her whole life until college. She is very down-to-earth and nature-savvy, loving nothing more than the beautiful forest. The only thing she could possibly love more is the coast, which is something she has wanted since she was a little girl.

Molly plays the oboe and enjoys it very much. She loves her section so much and fit in very well, becoming fast friends with Winterwood and Kirby. Being an IDA native, Winterwood was able to answer all of Molly's questions and then some, and when Molly found out that Kirby was another person who felt like IDA was calling his name they too became fast friends. Their friendship quickly grew into much more than that and they quickly started dating. Before anyone knew it, they were married and are so perfect for each other that hardly anyone can picture the times before they were together! Molly also became fast friends with Cobra Vice, who is also an IDA native and fellow composition major.Some More Quirkiness
One of the first things I did when designing Molly was I made her a major Runescape-player. She was extra cool because she had 99 Construction and Runecrafting. Her name is Sadie Sage and she is quite stylish. It was because of this that I didn't want to make her an ed major but with the way composition was going she became one anyway. Actually, when I eventually renamed my own Runescape girl Molly Musica, I gave her Molly Riedlore's looks.
Kirby and Molly's Story
Kirby, being a sophomore, was eager for marching band to start again. He played alto sax there and was looking forward to meeting the new freshman class. As the marching camp began, he noticed a very beautiful girl in the trumpet section. She had short black hair, a cute grin, and an aura that was very appealing and attractive to him. He kept sneaking glances at her and sometimes their eyes would meet. He was too nervous to talk to her and didn't have a lot of opportunity anyways but at lunch one of the early days he found Lesko Diamond and managed to talk to him for a moment. He asked about the cute girl in his section and learned that her name was Molly Clark and that she was a music major. When Kirby found out she was really an oboe player in disguise his heart skipped a beat! So was he! The reason he had found her so attractive was because her sense of humor and personality was a lot like his own. They officially met around the first day of school and quickly became best friends. When they found out they were both headed for the hippie island after graduation they just knew they were meant to be together and started dating very quickly in the fall 2009 season and got engaged that December. They were married the following summer. Today, they are known as Kirby and Molly and are almost inseparable. They are well known for their dramatic entrances into band and have gotten the whole section into it too.
The Riedlore Crest
Since they were going to be eventually moving to Isle Del Akai, they decided to get married there and legally change their last name. A big reason why they chose to do so is because Molly Law sounded quite strange to them. They couldn't decide on a last name that was more stereotypical like Rivers or Lightfoot so they decided to try and combine them with their own last name. They picked Rivers because it didn't start with L and it was the last name of Winterwood after she got married. They wanted to keep Law in their name and they came up with Riverlaw which they then translated into Keòen, making Riedlore which they both loved. When they found out Riedlore was the crest of one of the Eldins of Leena they were even more excited. So it began!
The Underground Comp Club
Molly really wanted to be a composition major and wasn't immediately deterred by the bad rep that Professor Stunn had gotten. She and Cobra were first-years at the school (though Cobra was a sophomore because he transferred) and upon their first experience with lessons they were immediately turned off enough to both quit and sign up for music education instead. However, they still wanted to do composition so they, along with Brenna Robinson Farrington, formed the Underground Composition Club, essentially teaching themselves how to arrange and compose. Since Brenna was a piano major, she was able to teach them how to play the piano and different techniques for orchestration. They met once a week, rotating houses, and were actually quite good. When the department chair, Dr. Hadry, found out about their private meetings, he was not upset at all but instead took it as a red flag, as Professor Stunn's teaching ability had gone downhill significantly. When Stunn finally quit in 2011, Dr. Hadry invited the three members of the UCC to participate in the interviews for the position. He is very sensitive to his students' feelings, especially since he began his career by entering into the tail end of Dr. LaBello's reign. With the hiring of Dr. Battistone the three of them immediately went back into composition although Molly was the only one to fully drop her other degree. She never wanted to do music education but did pass many of the qualifications and could probably get a teaching job regardless.
Molly Today
Molly has changed very little in the three years that she's been around. She's still very much a hippie and is still quite popular among veteran and new students alike. She still has her backpack full of everything anyone could possibly need and still enjoys playing oboe in band and trumpet in marching band. She loves her free time now that she is no longer an official ed major and is definitely one of the entertaining ones in the band and class. Probably the only major difference is that now her outfits of choice consist of black but colorful fitted tees and cargo skirts. Oh, and the fact that her last name is Riedlore now. :P

Molly is quickly once again becoming one of my favorites and since I actually look quite a bit like her (she has my body, ahahaha!) it will be easy to dress like her. :P
