Molly was born to a mother who painted and suffered from depression and a father who had served in the militia (not the "godsdammed town guard" for whom he has only disdain). They were a home that worshipped Shelyn, though, to be fair, William (the father) mostly did so out of devotion to this wife. She has two older male siblings with musical talent and an aptitude for study. Her father, worrying over her since-birth small nature, spent more time teaching her how to fight than either boy, both naturally brawny. The glaive did not come naturally to her, like it oddly does for so many devoted to Shelyn, but she worked at it purposefully. The loose structure of the Church of Shelyn is less worried about her divergent abilities than some would be, as she shows proper respect and skill at art-making. But she was never meant to live and die in a studio; her strength and dedication have led her to go out in the world to protect all that is beautiful, and tend to those who would do likewise. This new megachurch opening should be a great way to find either the like-minded, or those that could use protecting, wherever it take her.
