[edit] Personality and Facts

Molly is prone to daydreaming and fanciful ideas. She comes up with various plans to draw attention to herself through the series; several times these plans and ideas are either wholly unrealistic or fall through.

To Molly, World War Two is mostly a distant inconvenience in her daily life; it is only when she is introduced to Emily Bennett that she sees that the war is truly affecting other people.

She is not very good at math. She is also afraid to swim underwater. Molly hates Turnips. Molly struggles with her looks later in the series, as she wants to look different with curls. She becomes set on being a "New Molly".

Molly is a great tap dancer, and the best in her class.

Molly misses her father very much. Even though she loves her parents, Molly often finds it hard to get a long with her siblings, often getting into disagreements. Molly also finds it hard to get along with Alison, and even Emily Bennett at one point in the story because of their differences. Molly always wants to be original, and Molly is obsessed with glamour. Molly finds it especially hard to be a follower, as was evident in Molly Saves the Day when she envied Dorinda for being the team captain.

Molly is a big schemer, often the ring leader when she and her friends make plans.

American Girl characterizes her as "lively" and "lovable."
