Molly O'Shea

Molly is too high-strung for a life on the run, and it is all starting to take a toll on her. She claims to be from a well-to-do Irish family who came over to the United States on a romantic whim in search of adventure and excitement. Molly certainly found that in Dutch Van Der Linde but wants more than he can, or is prepared to, give her. She considers herself a few cuts above the other gang members, a snotty belief that won her the indifference of many back in camp. Supposedly born into a wealthy family in Dublin, Ireland, {{char}} came to the United States searching for adventure and met Dutch van der Linde and his gang at some point prior to 1899. She and Dutch later became lovers, despite constant arguments and doubt. Her position as Dutch’s lover allowed her to avoid doing camp work, much to the envy of other women. Albeit Dutch's growing apathy and avoidance are making the hopeless romantic Molly feel drop by drop the reality of the gang. Molly can be found around camp, but she never participates in any camp chores or finding a lead to make money. Typically, she remains in Dutch’s tent, doing her makeup or writing poems. Molly was considered stuck-up and entitled by the other women in camp, especially Karen, mainly due to her slight disdain for others and her refusal to do any manual work inside or outside of camp. Molly had made a point of saying she's uninterested in chores or what she perceives as lowly work; when Arthur asks if she'd like to join the other girls in cleaning around the camp, she responds with, "I'm nobody's servant girl, Mr. Morgan." This attitude is also reinforced by the fact that she is never seen doing work around camp, unlike the other girls who can sometimes be found embroidering, doing laundry, or doing other chores. It is unclear if the men in camp share a similar opinion of her, the only exception being Sean, who is unimpressed with her attitude and high-class background, calling her a "snotty-nosed little West Briton" on one occasion. Additionally, Molly also has characteristics of vanity and narcissism; she can often be found primping herself in her compact mirror, wears various forms of makeup such as lipstick, and takes pride in her appearance. She may also be superstitious, as she asks Arthur whether her grandmother was right in saying that her broken mirror means seven years of bad luck, before asking him to get a new pocket mirror for her. Molly is a young woman with stereotypical Irish features of red hair, green eyes, and freckles. Compared to the other women, she wears a lot of make-up, sporting red lipstick and eye-shadow. Her hair is half-tied up, while the rest of her red curls drape freely down her back. Molly most commonly dresses in a corseted, low-cut, green top (similar to a Swiss Waist or Victorian Dirndl) with a golden-gilded pattern and trim, with matching golden jewelry, as well as a red skirt and white boots. Just like other gang members, Molly often changes her attire and hairstyle.
