Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is she heavyset, thin, short, rangy?
Mollie is about five foot three with medium brown hair and brown eyes. Her hair is short and choppy, largely because she tends to cut it herself. She's never been that fond of leaving the house if she can find a way to avoid it. Despite her parents healthy eating habits, her sedentary lifestyle has made itself clear in some very obvious ways. She's not very strong physically for the most part and she's also carrying quite a few extra pounds.

2. How old is she? 21

3. Describe her posture. Does she carry herself well or does she slouch?
She holds herself well enough. Not perfect posture by any means, but she's no slouch either.

4. How is her health? Is she fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?
Her health would be fine, if it wasn't for that whole glaring leg thing. It's pretty much flavored her entire life at this point. However otherwise she's healthy as a horse. If... you know it was a horse who had one bad leg and then got out of shape and fat thanks to not being able to move around properly.

5. How does she move? Is she clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid?
When she walks, she tends to have a very pronounced limp. On a good day she can hide it, but those days are about as frequent as a blue moon. Can't stay on her feet for long periods of time and tends to prefer using a wheelchair if she absolutely has to be out and about. Has decent upper arm strength due to this fact.

6. How attractive is this character physically? How does she perceive herself in the mirror?
Mollie would avoid mirrors if she could. They're basically just a reminder about how far she's come in the last few years. She's pretty self conscious about the weight she's carrying around. Looks wise she's probably about average, but she'd definitely rate herself in the negatives if she were being completely honest with her feelings. She talks a big talk, but it's basically just a front to cover her lack of self-confidence.

7. Describe her complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred?
She's a denizen of the internet/gaming sphere so she doesn't see the sun very often and truthfully she likes it best that way. She's pale with a few freckles sprinkled here and there. No major scars though she does have a few scrapes as reminders of an active childhood.

8. Describe her hair: color, texture, style. Her hair is brown and on the wispy side. She cuts it herself, because she doesn't see the point in spending money on something like that since she hardly ever leaves the house. Mollie wears it short because she finds it more convenient to take care of.... or ignore as is more often the case.

9. What color are her eyes?
Dark brown. She thinks they're quite boring.

10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features?
Not really. She's actually pretty average/mediocre all around.

11. What are her chief tension centers?
Mollie often spends long hours doing computer work/games and because of this tends to get tension built up in her neck and shoulders with the occasional headache.

12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does she have six of the same suit?
For someone who likes to pick on other people's wardrobe choices, Mollie really has no room to talk. She tends to wear loose clothes in darker colors like brown, black, grey, navy, and olive. She does like red and she'll wear that on occasion too. Lots of sweats and just general casual clothing. She'd live in pjs if she could, but people tend to frown when you wear them in public. Go figure.

13. Do her clothes fit well? Does she seem comfortable in them?
They're baggy and it often seems like she's trying to hide in them. Because half the time she probably is.

14. Does she dress the same on the job as she does in her free time? If not, what are the differences?
She's self employed and everything she does is over the internet. This means it doesn't matter what she wears so she wears the same stuff all the time.

15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando?
Commando more often than not, but she does wear briefs at least sometimes.
