- -Species: Giant Panda
- -Origin: Portland, Oregon
- -Age: 23
- -Height: 5' 6"
- -Weight: 371 lb
- Personality:
- -Puckish, sarcastic, calculating.
- -Usually takes the path of least resistance and is laid back overall. Doesn't mind going out and doing things but doesn't mind sitting around all day either.
- -Cynical exterior is a labyrinthine bulwark for her true, sensitive emotions. Her face usually belies what's going on in her head.
- -Fears vulnerability and being truly alone more than anything.
- -Strong morals that mellowed out a little, but still believes that making a world a better place starts with trying to be a better person.
- -Likes to observe interactions between people more than lead on in a conversation.
- -Suffers no fools and hates fake people.
- Interests:
- -When not at work Molly writes personal music and distributes it over the internet. A kaleidoscope of genres: fusion noodlings, scathing death metal riffs and yearning, reverb-drenched shoe-gaze.
- -Sticks to the video games she grew up with but plays online games that strike her odd fancies.
- -Watches action movies. Reads western graphic novels and seinen manga.
- -Straightforward and thrifty with her shopping habits, cuts coupons and all that. Plans major purchases before hand. Donates what she doesn't end up needing.
- -DIY attitude, likes learning how things work instead of relying on outside help. Maintains her equipment fairly well.
- -Socializes more on the Internet than outside. Doesn't club much but is a faithful patron to her local cafe.
- Body:
- -Sharp, golden eyes.
- -D cup bust perches proudly on top of a vast round belly.
- -Wide hips easily segue to a large plush behind. Stout and girthy arms and legs
- -Solidly planted and sort of strong.
- -Physical in short bursts but beyond that she'll quickly tire.
- Attire:
- -Sports a periwinkle bob with side-locks that graze her shoulders. Messy bangs hang around eyebrow level save for one that curls upward on the right side. Instead of trying to quell the unruly lock she lets it go.
- -Likes to keep a decent mix of leggings, track suits and v-necks. Elastic waistbands are her friends.
- -Has a thing for zip-up hoodies, prefers them over heavy parkas in the winter
- -Doesn't like to accessorize
- Relationships:
- -In a fledgling relationship with Rita.
- -Is above promiscuity and infidelity. This stems from the fact that she really hasn't been in a lot of relationships and values them when they happen.
- -Wouldn't mind companionship with either gender. Pretty much rejects the traditional notions of making a family to spite her mother.
- -Escaped overbearing parents but is in good terms with them. No siblings. Closer to her father than mother.
- Back story:
- Grew up as a daddy's girl. Her mother worked long hours and really couldn't offer much when at home besides material goods. Mr and Mrs. Qin would frequently combat over the fact that he was turning Molly into a tomboy. He'd just shrug and take Molly back into the living room to watch violent action movies or play video games. Mrs. Qin would skulk outside to angrily suck down a cigarette.
- However, Mr. Qin was always careful to explain in detail why both sides of the conflicts they watched were fighting and the repercussions of violence. This translated mostly well with Molly's school life, she exercised diplomacy and restraint before dunking a bully in a trashcan and kicking it down the stairs. Mrs Qin tried once to intervene by enrolling Molly in ballet class; despite her stocky frame even during childhood Molly wasn't bad at it at all. But she was eventually kicked out for physical reprisals against snide comments about her weight. Mrs Qin wasn't happy but respected the fact that Mr Qin installed a backbone into their daughter.
- School was easy and Mr Qin would lavishly reward good grades. Frequently, they'd take trips to restaurants, video game stores and the local music store. This didn't bode well for Molly's weight and it steadily creeped up during her teens. Mrs. Qin could only scowl from over the spreadsheets and ROI reports on her laptop. Mr Qin's unwavering doting and Mrs Qin's scornful disapproval mixed in dischord and manifested in Molly a weak self esteem that she desperately tried to keep walled up. Many sleepless nights were spent staring into the darkness, wondering where exactly her place in the world was.
- Early on Molly displayed an aptitude for music, mainly the guitar. Her mother, being a stereotypical corporatist, wanted her to apply her intelligence and advance to more illustrious career paths. She applied for the local music institute. Mrs. Qin immediately tried to dissuade her daughter. Molly stood her ground. Both parties exasperated, Molly left her comfortable suburban childhood home to find her way in the city. Mr. Qin was heartbroken. She now works freelance from her studio apartment. A huge chunk of her income comes from creating commercial jingles. She lives within her means and stashes money away for when work offers go intermittent.
- TLDR:
- Molly invokes panda advantage, to say the least. She enjoys her simple life as a musician. Her cynicism and apathy are covers for her ideals and vulnerable emotions. Molly enjoys just aimlessly groping at the unfathomable expanses of existence and the universe.

- -Lesbian. She doesn't outright advertise the fact, but she's quick to correct people when asked. There really isn't much to read into it, she just found that she was attracted to other females. Her relationship with Molly is a learning experience, to say the least.
- Back story:
- Ms. Wainwright hails from a large family of oil field workers and precious metal miners near Edmonton. She was never in want of attention or affection being the youngest. As soon as she was capable, Rita elected to assist in cooking the families meals, more often than not comfort food to stave off the brutal Canadian winters and to sustain her roughneck brothers and father. She would then help her mother in talking care of the rest of the household. She had a decent enough childhood in and around Alberta. Her father found his own vein of oil and it pushed them out of the working class to the upper-middle.
- Her school life was very serene, she had many friends and maintained a decent enough GPA. Her consistent prefect scores in the home economics helped immensely in this regard. Nobody could find any faults with her. Boys would fight each other for the chance to talk to her but she would kindly tell them that she wasn't interested. She was too terrified to admit that she was attracted to other girls so everyone just assumed she was just extra prudish.
- When it came time for her 18th birthday her parents strongly urged her to seek her own way. It wore on their hearts that it had to be Rita, the most prefect child of the warren. But after rearing so many children and having their newfound wealth they wanted to retire in relative peace and ease, someplace warm. She assured them that it was their right and expressed interest in moving to America anyways. It sort of played into her hands, this was her chance to be herself and explore her sexuality without repercussions. She received a sizable sum of cash and a repertoire of cooking skills and recipes from her mother. That was that, she immigrated down to Portland to partake in the bustling culinary scene therein.
- Molly was a regular at the cafe where Rita landed her first gig as a sous chef. Rita immediately threw on her charms to try to win her over. Molly was very flattered to be sure, and for about 2 weeks the relationship seemed like it'd take off. And it did.
- TLDR:
- With gilt heart and impossibly sweet demeanor, Rita will always find the time to listen to someone no matter the issue. Downplays her nouveau-riche background and focuses on her work in the culinary field.
