Molly McGee

Molly McGee is the main protagonist of the Disney animated series The Ghost and Molly McGee. She's an optimistic girl who wants to make the world a better place.

Appearance

Physical appearance

Molly is a Thai-American teenage girl of medium height, medium-length brown hair, and dark brown almond-shaped eyes. She wears her hair up in a short ponytail with a pink hairband.

Clothing

Molly wears a ripped jean vest with a teal pin, a white and black ringer shirt, a pink and purple skirt, and black biker shorts, and a pink hairband. She wears pink and yellow sneakers. She also has a purple spiral bracelet.

Abilities

Molly is shown to be pretty athletic, scoring lots of stars as a Wilder-Scout. She's also one of the few characters in the series who isn't scared of anything that's horrifying.

Because of the curse she can call and summon Scratch to her.

Personality

Molly is an optimistic Thai-American girl, who lives to make the world a better place. She loves to give hugs and owns up quickly and tries to fix her mistakes, and is very imaginative. She is also energetic and caring to her friends.

However, despite her caring nature, Molly can be sometimes selfish and pushy such as in "Mazel Tov, Libby!" where she transformed Libby's Bat Mitzvah into a blowout party and forcing her to "come out of her shell," instead of respecting her friend's wishes and boundaries.

At times like "Scratch the Surface", she can also get restless and overthink easily, making her prone to lying.

She shows a sense of naivety in "All Systems No" as well, still believing that wizards and unicorns are real despite already being a tween.

Although generally gregarious, Molly does have some degree of savagery, mostly applied on bratty people namely Andrea Davenport, such as when Andrea stole her show in "Hooray for Mollywood!".

In "Saving Christmas", after failing to change the stubbornness of Mr Davenport, Molly descended into a depression, losing her care for Christmas. This proves that Molly's optimism can be broken.

A mild degree of her mental instabilities and controlling tendency do start showing in Ready, Set, Snow!, forcing her loved ones and then herself to play alone in the snow even when she’s getting envious of her family and friends being warm and having fun inside the house, adding that she believes that she should always feign her own happiness at the expense of her own well-being. However, she does learn how to compromise with others once being reminded of her bad habits, although not fully learning from them instantly.

Background

Molly and her family relocate to Brighton, a sleepy little town. Molly has spent her life travelling throughout the country and has never had time to develop friends, so when she comes across a ghost named Scratch who is chained to her house by an impenetrable curse, she immediately names him as her best friend. Molly is afraid of stifling everyone around her, of being labeled as an outcast who will be shunned by anyone she attempts to connect with. She has previously failed to build meaningful ties with individuals.

Relationships

Scratch

Scratch is one of Molly's best friends as well as her companion and especially her sidekick. After moving into the residence where Scratch resided alone for years, Scratch decided to put a curse on Molly, but it backfires and he finds himself forever cursed in Molly's presence. Along the time of being stuck with Molly, he develops a close friendship with the girl. However, Molly can sometimes be an annoyance to Scratch owing to her overbearing optimism. In contrast to this, Scratch and Molly have been inseperable since the debut of the series.

Darryl McGee

Molly and Darryl share a close sibling relationship with each other, though occasionally Darryl's trouble-making and grossness can get on Molly's nerves. At times in "No Good Deed", Molly tries her best to educate him to become a better person, but this usually backfires as he tends to misinterpret what she intends to.

Libby Stein-Torres

Molly and Libby are best friends. Initially meeting on the first day of class, Molly and Libby's relationship took off after a girls' scout trip. Seeing Libby appease Howlin' Harriet, Molly decided she was the perfect best friend, not knowing Libby also wanted to be her best friend.

Andrea Davenport

Andrea was initially friendly to Molly but became upset when she mispronounced her name. Andrea initially let it slide due to it being Molly's first day but is angered when Molly accidentally does it again. She became very mean to her and made everyone else in the school outcast her. Molly still tries to be friendly towards Andrea, but only within reason, as she excuses the popular girl's ignorance to other people's feelings until things go too far, and only then does Molly show her more savage side trying to undo the damage Andrea has done and give that brat her comeuppance, especially via Scratch and his ghostly ways.

Weird Larry

So far, the eccentric pawnshop owner Weird Larry is the only person in town that Molly McGee hates, to the point where, as Scratch pointed out, she displays the very "Un-Molly McGee-ish" behavior of trying to avoid him. So far, it seems like the main reason Molly doesn't like Weird Larry is because he asks for her help for the most uncomfortable problems, most notably during that time he asked her to help him catch his runaway pet skunk, Vera, and Molly (due to a temporary curse that forces her to say "Yes" to everything while Scratch only says "No") was reluctantly forced to agree to help him. After a wild goose chase... or rather, wild skunk chase... and Scratch switching around the "Yes/No" curse, Molly admitted that she felt good when she was finally able to refuse Weird Larry any more help finding Vera. In "Saving Christmas", Molly didn't want help from "Santa Claus" in restoring the Snowflake Celebration because she could tell it's really Weird Larry in a Santa suit.

Trivia

• She is voiced by Ashly Burch.
• Molly originally had a beauty mark under her right eye but it was removed due to it being hard to keep in place during animation and would commonly look as if it is moving around her face. It also did not work well with the expressive faces the characters in the show make,
• Molly is similar to Anne Boonchuy from Amphibia, another Disney animated series, being a Thai-American 13-year-old girl. Anne also shares Molly's dislike of durian as shown in the episode "The New Normal"
• The bottom of Molly's skirt was designed to mimic the bottom of Scratch.
• Molly is similar to Jake Long from the American Dragon: Jake Long because both of them are Eurasians with an European father and an Asian mother as well as having a younger sibling. Unlike Jake Long, she doesn't have a dragon form.
• Molly has a catchphrase called "Sweet baby corn" that she usually says whenever she's overjoyed, sad or shocked.
• Molly has a hatred of magicians, as she believes they are frauds and do not use actual magic.
• Molly doesn't like Maple Syrup because, according to Scratch, it tastes like "a tree's tears".
