History:
When Molly was younger, her dad was dying, presumably of some sort of disease. And he was always cheerful and lovely in his bit of time left, but she caught him once when he thought he was alone and with no one was there to see him, and he looked terribly sad. But her dad’s death happened a while ago, and Molly seems to be over it now, mentioning the fact off-hand in a conversation with Sherlock.
And for whatever reason--maybe her mom is also dead?--Molly Hooper is alone. She lives alone and she doesn’t have many friends. She was all alone on Christmas, and when she hears that Sherlock is throwing a party, she’s overly excited at the idea of not spending Christmas alone, she doesn’t hesitate in joining. However later, when they get news of Irene Adler’s “death”, Molly shows up at the morgue to assist Sherlock and Mycroft. When asked why she showed up, she waved off the issue, saying that all of her co-workers were “busy with Christmas”.
After she got tired of being alone, she went and bought a cat, because one her friends or coworkers had told her that “every single girl [their] age needs either a cat or a gay best friend.” and with those two as her only options, she decided that a cat would be “less fuss”. She considered naming her new cat after Sherlock, but the cat was cute and fluffy and Sherlock is... not. She named the cat Toby instead.
Later on, she’s seen dating an IT worker at the hospital named Jim. Unluckily for Molly, Jim ended up being Jim Moriarty, who was only using Molly as a means to get in contact with Sherlock Holmes. When Sherlock and Jim meet, Sherlock calls Jim “gay”, leading to Molly ending their relationship after only 3 dates.
Still, dating the most dangerous criminal in the world will not stop Molly Hooper from being happy and later on in the series when Sherlock requests her help in stopping Moriarty, she claims that she has a lunch date. But Sherlock Holmes needs her help, and she cancels it to help him out.
Molly is seen constantly helping Sherlock throughout the series. She helps by bringing him coffee, granting him access to the dead bodies of victims, and working alongside him in the labs. However, she provides the greatest amount of help to him at the end of Season 2, when he walks up to her, desperate for her help, and her help specifically. There she, I assume, helps Sherlock fake his death in order to defeat Moriarty.
Personality:
“Molly, please don’t feel the need to make conversation, it’s really not your area.”Although rather condescendingly said by Sherlock himself, the statement isn’t wrong. Conversation and words are not good friends with Molly Hooper at all. She has a tendency of speaking without thinking and it’s only after the fact that she realizes what she’s said is wrong or incorrect and she stumbles over “er” and “no, I mean” and “uh”’s in order to correctly express what she’s trying to say. Often time she’ll start a sentence two or three different ways before finally deciding on one and rambling on--with interjections fitted in the middle of sentences--and on until she’s run out of things to say. It’s an ongoing battle.
Of course, with her everlasting battle with words, it makes her very socially awkward. Molly doesn’t really have too many friends. She made a blog that no one, absolutely no one, commented on aside from herself and Moriarty, when Moriarty was using her to get to Sherlock. Take, in comparison, John Watson’s blog, which numerous friends, and his sister, were able to find and comment on. Molly mentions some ladies named Meena and Caroline on her blog, but they’re only mentioned once and never again. So whither they are truly friends of if they’re just co-workers is uncertain.
As a result of her own awkwardness and lack of social interaction with friends, it’s caused Molly to have somewhat of a low self-esteem. She doesn’t think much of herself in relation to others, and she doesn’t exactly get compliments very often. This is shown when she’s talking to Sherlock, and she doesn’t have any hesitation in telling him that she “doesn’t count” to him. Which is entirely true, because he doesn’t really see her, and if he can’t see her, why should she count? Also, during the Christmas party when she shows up at 221B Bakerstreet in a formal dress, and she relishes in the fact that, for two minutes, she’s in the spotlight, with all eyes on her and they think she looks wonderful and lovely and it makes her feel so good that everyone can see her and they’re happy to see her.
Because usually, she’s brushed away for someone who’s smarter or better and they only come to her when she has something she can do for them. And it makes her angry and upset sometimes, the way Sherlock uses her as a tool. Usually, she’s happy to help out in any way she can, because she considers Sherlock to be her friend. But not even Molly has the patience of a saint, especially not when Sherlock goes out of his way to insult her. He tells her mean, horrible things. He tells her that her mouth looks too small without lipstick, that Jim is gay and she should break it off. He tells her that she’s gained weight, and he makes fun of her at the Christmas party. He practically orders her to cancel her lunch date to help him out and that, for the good of law and order she should avoid all future attempts at a relationship, and that she shouldn’t make conversation because it’s not her area.
She only speaks up against him twice, and it’s in defence of Jim and at the Christmas party. Firstly Jim, because she just had been so happy to be in a relationship. She was proud of herself for not letting her infatuation with Sherlock ruin her life and of moving on. She’d found someone who genuinely seemed to like her for her and liked being around her. And when she introduces him to Sherlock, the first word out of his mouth is “gay”. And she gets so upset because she was happy and he ruined that she works herself up and she yells at him for spoiling everything and running away from him. She gets upset at eh Christmas party, because she, again, was happy. She wasn’t spending Christmas alone, she got to spend it with people she considered to be her friends and she looked nice and everyone was being nice to her and then Sherlock singles her out. He mocks her for the time and effort she spent wrapping one present in particular, because she clearly likes them and wants to be liked back, isn’t that cute? She’s visibly upset, and her voice is think like she’s holding back tears and she tells him that he always, always says such horrible things to her. He might not have known he was doing it, but ignorance doesn’t make the pain go away.
Not that it stops Molly from being loyal. Sherlock might be mean and rude and a jerk at times, but he’s still Molly’s friend and she’d do anything for her friends. In the season finale, he asks her “If I wasn’t everything you thought I was... If I wasn’t everything I thought I was, would you still want to help me?” And she doesn’t even bother giving that a direct answer because the answer is so obvious. Of course she would still want to help him. He could be faking it all, and she still wouldn’t care. It could be John standing there, or Lestrade, or anyone she was friends with, asking the very same question and her answer would not be any different. And so instead of answering yes or not, instead she asks “What do you need?”
Molly Hooper never ever stops trying, and oh, does she try her hardest. She tries so very, very hard in everything she does. She tried her best to get a job she loves and she accomplished it, working in the hospital at the morgue. She tries hard to ask Sherlock on a date, and when that fails, she tries not to let it ruin her life. She tries to get over him. Time and time and time again does she try. She tries to date other people, and she tries to be happy and she tries so hard to just be herself and to get other people to see her and to be kind to everyone around her. And she tries her best to help her friends when they need her help.
And in this aspect, Molly Hooper is the strongest, bravest person in the entire series. Not because she’s physically strong or because she’s fighting down dangerous, deadly things every day. It’s because she can get up from a failure and try again and again, no matter how hard things might seem, she always tries again and tries her best.
Abilities, Weaknesses and Power Limitations:
Abilities
Molly works at a morgue. So, due to overexposure, she’s used to seeing a lot of dead, naked bodies. The sight of blood and broken or bruised bodies is literally just another weekday for her. Should--when--another person dies on the TQ, Molly has the knowledge and ability to deal with the body in a proper way.
Molly also has a good bit of patience, after putting up with Sherlock for so long. She also bounces back from things pretty easily--especially after being insulted or after a failure. She doesn’t let either get to her, because she knows she can just try again and she’ll be much, much better the second time.
Weaknesses
Perhaps the biggest weakness that Molly has is her ability to form emotional attachments. Sometimes, it’s not an issue at all--like with her cat. Of course she’d have an emotional attachment to Toby, he’s her pet after all. But she forms attachments with epople too and that’s what gets in er in so much trouble.
The biggest and most obvious attachment would be to Sherlock Holmes. She had a crush on him since the very beginning and while she was able to convince herself that it wasn’t going to happen and it would be for the best if she moved on, she’s still very attached to him and it shows. She continues to be friends with him, she gives him Christmas presents that are wrapped to perfection, she goes into work on Christmas to help him out, and she puts everything on the line to help him stay alive and fake his death. But Sherlock isn’t the only attachment she has, she still has a bit of leftover feelings for Moriarty. She continues to call him “Jim”, even after knowing all of the horrible things he’s done.
She also doesn’t have a lot of physical strength. She doesn’t know how to use a weapon. Her intellect is nowhere near the level of Sherlock or Moriarty’s. She really just a normal human with a pretty normal life.
Inventory:
One cat named Toby
One white lab coat
One blouse
One pair of black slacks
Shoes
Appearance:
The PB for Molly is actress Louise Brealey.
Molly is short. And by short, I mean she’s 5’3”. She’s dwarfed by 5’8” Morarty and 6’ Sherlock. She has a very petite build and despite Sherlock’s claim that she’s put on three pounds recently, she’s still pretty tiny. She has brown eyes and long brown hair that goes down to her mid-back which she puts up in a variety of different ways.
Age: 31

Log Sample:
Literally, the very last thing that Molly Hooper was expecting to happen when she went to bed last night was to wake up in a pod bed, naked and covered in blue goo with a breathing tube shoved down her throat. But before she can even consider panicking as a reasonable reaction to this new and strange situation, the tube is yanked from her mouth and she's on her hands and knees on the floor, trying very hard not to throw up the remains of her dinner.
It takes her several very long, excruciating minutes before she feels like she can safely move a muscle without heaving all over the ground. She slowly and carefully sits up before taking a look around her, wondering where, exactly, she is. Upon seeing the sight in front of her, it takes her another minute or so for the scene to reach her brain and make sense of it. People, everywhere. Tons of them, more than she could even be bothered to count, were all walking around, also naked and also covered in blue goo. "What...?" The word escapes from her mouth before she even registers that oh yes, she can talk.
Well. There was only one thing she could do, she supposed. Sitting there, on the ground, covered in goo wasn't going to get her anywhere. It was time to find some answers. So she slowly and shakily gets to her feet and, grabbing a towel that was placed next to her... pod-like-thing, wraps it around herself before making her way to the closest person.
"Uh, sorry..." She gives an uncertain smile, fingers twisting together in a nervous gesture. "Do you have any idea where we are?"
Comms Sample:
[When the feed begins, it’s centered on a brown-haired woman with an unsure smile on her face. She’s nervous about addressing everyone on the ship at the same time, but she has a very important question to ask, so there’s nothing she can do about it but smile, take a deep breath and continue on.
Inhale, exhale, go.]
Hello, uh. My name’s Molly. Molly Hooper. [She gives a nod because her name is indeed Molly Hooper.] ...and I was just wondering...
[She trails off, trying to form the words in her head before she says them out loud. It’s actually a lot harder than you might believe.]
I was wondering... if there was anything I could do to help. You see, I used to work at a morgue and... [Beat.] ...not that I think there are any dead bodies laying about or anything! [She attempts at a laugh.] But I was just... I want to help. If I can.
[And she nods again, happy with that.] Yeah. Thanks. [And with one last smile, the feed ends.]
