OC APPRECIATION POST (PT.1) ─────
MOLLY ANGEL (she/her) ⭑.ᐟ
MOLLY ANGEL - Molly's name is admittedly taken from the drug/pill nicknamed the same name, (cringe ik don’t come after me). Her last name is somewhat common for Pinoy Americans.
Age: 17 -Senior Year of Highschool. Risks, if taken, need to be done now. There's nothing left to lose for Molly, at least that's what she believes.
Defining traits: Adaptive, Sentimental, Self-sufficient, naive, critical, and destructive.
Strengths and weaknesses:
STRENGTHS- Analytical, skeptical, and thoughtful. Molly has some desire to be more sociable with her peers, (a will to change for the better). When it comes to plans and analysis, Molly is in her element.
WEAKNESSES- While Molly often thinks of herself as someone who doesn’t get scared easily, certain authoritative positions can weaken her confidence. She isn’t as athletic as she wishes she was as well.
Flaws: Naivety, high-strung emotions, impulsive actor, and desperation for connection. Her prior experiences in life and lack of emotional regulation motivates her decisions.
Beliefs and spirituality: Agnostic - growing up, she was raised religious (Christian), but Molly is skeptical of the existence of a higher power by the direction her life has taken. She doesn’t fully deny the possibility, however.
Morals and values: Respect, Commitment, Justice, Integrity, and perseverance.
Hopes and dreams: The sense of a “normal” life is something Molly has strived since she could remember. Now, she’s taking everything in her power to run away from her old life.
Skills: Critical thinking and problem-solving are more of Molly’s strong suits. She listens, adapts, and acts. It’s what she knows. However, she wishes she were more in touch with her own emotions and others (for her own personal wellbeing and relations).
Interests or hobbies: Music, Visual Arts, and walks. Oftentimes, she’ll take the bus around or out of town. Abandoned stations, houses, factories, etc.
Fears, phobias, or prejudices: Absolutes.
Pet peeves: Can be manipulative at times, using other’s emotions against them. This can be intentional or not depending on the situation.
Focus: Make it to Michigan.
Juniper Salinas Angel - MOTHER
Lina Salinas - AUNT (WIFE OF MARTIN)
Iris - “small time drug dealer” 𑣲⋆
Motivations .✦ ݁˖ ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
What do they want?: To move away from the town she’s grown to know, leave her life and feelings with them behind.
How do they try to get it?: It starts with the removal of her Mother, not with her own hands, of course. She finds a hitman to do the job where she is slowed down by the fact that she is now in debt to this man. She must find a way out of any legal trouble as well as any emotional scarring during this arrangement. The ultimate goal is to go across the country to Michigan to live with Iris’ sister.
Internal conflicts: the life she is leaving behind wasn’t one she wanted to live, yet leaving everything she knows shatters some part of her. There’s no going back after her mother dies.
Place of birth: SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA - "Parkins Village." (a fictional city somewhere between Glendale and Burbank, CA.)

Moving between houses, motels, and businesses. Housing with Uncle, Martin (Marty) legally.

Style: Molly is commonly known by her peers to be more alternative in style. Her style is inspired by her favorite music genres and neutrality.

Muddy greens, dark reds, and dark browns.
