AN: Molly is one of my favorite characters. I think there is a lot more to her than most people realize and I figured it was about time she got some attention and back-story. Let me know your thoughts – Hopefully everything fits her character.

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

1. She has a twin brother. Timothy is his given name but everyone calls him Al. She's not really sure why, but it was a name he chose in primary school and it stuck. He always calls her Lolly. It's better than the more common "Molls" which has always irritated her for some reason. Al works for a publishing company in London and always keeps hers up to date on the newest books that are being released and book signings or special events. He even got her an autographed copy of Deathly Hallows.

2. As you probably gather from the previous fact she is a total bookworm. Seriously, she reads constantly. Even at the dinner table. Especially at the table, because it distracts her from the fact that she is eating alone. She will read anything you give her except romance novels. They're depressing because they give unrealistic expectations. But sci-fi, historical fiction, horror, detective novels, fantasy, classic literature, poetry, mythology are all in her library. Which basically is her entire flat.

3. She is a bit of a nerd. Okay, a big nerd. She loves Dr Who and Harry Potter. Simply adores them. Luna and Hermione are her favorite characters and she fancies herself a Hufflepuff. Donna is her favorite Dr Who companion, though she does feel a bit of kinship with Martha. She also loved Sarah Jane and fancies Jack Harkness just a bit.

4. She loves disco music. I know, it sounds bizarre, with her being such a quiet girl, but it's true. It's just so much fun. She even dances to it, when no one is watching of course. Well no one except her cat Toby. Actually he tends to hide when she starts dancing...

5. She went through that awkward stage in her teen years where she had to have braces and glasses. Well it was more than a stage really. Unfortunately for her self-esteem it began when she was thirteen and lasted until she was seventeen. She finally got contacts before going to Uni and was asked out on her first date a week into classes. His name was Daniel and he was studying neurology. They dated for three months but he broke it off because she refused to sleep with him.

6. She has always had a fascination with geniuses. While most girls obsessed over members of a boy-band or a cute celebrity she devoted her time and attention to studying great minds of the past. Leonardo Da Vinci. Einstein. Madame Curie. Those are her idols. She supposes that's part of why she fell head-over-heels for Sherlock.

7. She knows she doesn't have a chance with Sherlock. No way in hell. And she isn't waiting around for him. She's not stupid. But it's a nice fantasy at times and she simply cannot resist his smiles. How often is it that he smiles at someone anyway? Even if it is fake. And yes, she knows that it's all an act. But she likes helping him solve all those horrible murders and if she has to seem like a bit of a pushover, than so be it.

8. She wanted to be a policewoman when she was growing up. Her best friend's mother had served on the force for nearly twelve years. She was tough and smart. Molly always looked up to her. But she soon realized it wasn't the path for her and redirected herself towards a career that fit her intellectual personality. She was originally tracked to become a forensic scientist but somehow ended up as a pathologist instead. She can't exactly explain the outcome, but she's happy where she is. She also considered becoming an astronomer, but that was more born of her love for Dr Who than anything else.

9. She loves strawberry ice cream. Adores it. And it has nothing to do with the fact that it's her favorite color - that's just a perk. Usually she's very health conscious, she's even vegetarian, but she always has a carton of strawberry ice cream in her freezer. Always.

10. She was once engaged. His name was Ryan and she dated him for a year and a half. He was a male nurse who worked at Bart's. He proposed to her one sunny June day in Hyde Park. Got down on one knee with a diamond ring and everything. But she said "No." She'd been thinking about breaking it off for a while but didn't have the heart. However when he said "I would love to come home to you cooking a fabulous dinner and laughing with the kids." she just couldn't accept. He wanted a stay at home wife and mother. She wanted a career. They parted on amiable terms, but she hasn't had a long-term relationship since.

11. While we're on the topic - she doesn't like diamonds. That has nothing to do with her rejecting his proposal of course, but it's worth mentioning. They're pretty enough, but rather boring in her opinion. She likes color in her jewelry. Sapphires are her favorite gemstone and she would love to have a heart-shaped Sapphire ring the next time she gets engaged. Whenever that is...

12. Winter is her favorite time of year. Yes it's cold, but she loves dressing in layers and being able to bundle up in a blanket by the fire. With a good book, of course. She loves the smell of winter, crisp cold air mingled with the earthy spices of the season. And of course Christmas is her favorite holiday. She volunteers at the local soup-kitchen every year and often spends her Christmas Eve's there, singing carols while she serves the food.

13. She has only gotten drunk twice in her life. Once was at Al's twenty first birthday party. Usually she was very careful when it came to alcohol, but they played a drinking game and she got caught up in the revelry. Soon enough she was dancing on the tables singing Funkytown and Bohemian Rhapsody at the top of her lungs. The second time was at her friend, Linda's bachelorette party. She awoke the next morning with a butterfly tattoo on her shoulder blade and no memory of getting it. Luckily it's fairly small and done in a lovely purple so she doesn't mind it.

14. She loves dogs, but can't have them. She cannot control them. She hates training, because she can never be firm enough and doesn't have the heart to scold them when they do something wrong. It's the same reason she'll never have kids. They would run circles around her. She had one once, a dog I mean. Jenny was her name and she was a yellow lab puppy. Sweetest thing you would ever meet. But she was a little furry ball of energy who had a horrible shoe-chewing habit. Molly kept her for two months before she finally had to rehome her. After that she stuck with cats, because there is no need for training.

15. She caught sight of Greg staring several times at the Christmas party. That party was the best she's ever been to. Even though Sherlock was a complete arse to her about the gift she finally stood up to him and he actually apologized. Not to mention the kiss. That coupled with the attention from Greg made for a very nice evening. She's fancied him from a distance for awhile now and is glad that the interest might be returned. She plans to invite him out for coffee once the divorce is settled. Maybe they'll go see a movie too.

If convenient please review; if inconvenient review anyway.
