[color=007236][b]Name[/b]:[/color] [color=8dc73f]Madeline “Molly” Montclair[/color]
[color=007236][b]Age[/b]:[/color] [color=8dc73f]25[/color]
[color=007236][b]Sexuality[/b]:[/color] [color=8dc73f]Unclear. She's far too embarrassed by topics of sex and sexuality to talk openly about such things when she's sober. That said, she has been caught with risque novels featuring heterosexual, lesbian, and gay relationships on multiple occasions. Draw your own conclusions.[/color]
[color=007236][b]Race/Ethnicity[/b]:[/color] [color=8dc73f]Acadian[/color]
[color=007236][b]Height[/b]:[/color] [color=8dc73f]5’7” (170 cm) [i]VARIABLE[/i][/color]
[color=007236][b]Weight[/b]:[/color] [color=8dc73f]140 lb (63 kg) [i]VARIABLE[/i][/color]
[color=007236][b]Appearance[/b]:[/color] [color=8dc73f]In her natural state, Molly is a woman of unassuming height, if a bit on the heavier side, but rest assured that extra weight is not fat. Her honey brown locks grow heavy and thick but stay well off her shoulders with careful trimming. Delicate features and an ever present smile that reaches her shining hazel eyes belie a wealth of lean muscle she keeps hidden beneath her uniform and the countless hours devoted to keep this figure out of a sense of pride and practicality. Her body is a temple carved from stone most of the time. Other times... just don't mention her weight. She's sensitive about it.[/color]

[color=007236][b]Likes[/b]:[/color] [color=8dc73f]She enjoys hot food, cold food, spicy food, fried food, grilled food, just food, alcohol (both for cooking and straight drinking), cooking, cutlery, martial arts, fishing, noodling, hiking, camping, gambling, music, and trashy, dime store "romance" novels, but you'd never get her to admit that last one.[/color]
[color=007236][b]Dislikes[/b]:[/color] [color=8dc73f]Tardiness, incompetence, disloyalty, and people touching her knives. She [i]really[/i] doesn’t like people touching her knives. Seriously, just don't touch her knives. The whole set is probably worth more than your car.[/color]
[color=007236][b]Fears[/b]:[/color] [color=8dc73f]Sharks. Hates 'em, can't stand 'em. Doesn't even like seeing sharks in an aquarium. Only place she wants to see a shark is in a soup.[/color]
[color=007236][b]Personality[/b]:[/color] [color=8dc73f]Motherly, affectionate, assertive, stubborn, hot-headed, outspoken, and opinionated, but unshakably loyal. Anyone who spends enough time around Molly and enters her friend group will essentially become adopted by her. It's not a discussion or a negotiation, she will make that person her responsibility to care about and for. Speaking of which, she is also very affectionate and will regularly hug or otherwise touch people she considers friends such as a pat on the back or a friendly punch in the arm. Though she has no problem with telling people she cares about when they're doing something dumb, but she also has no reservations about tearing a chunk out of anyone who talks bad about them or starts throwing punches.

Molly's individuality proved to be a bit of an obstacle for her instructors when she first arrived. She performs her duties as a maid with distinction, but at the end of the day she has to work at servitude more than the other maids as it's not in her blood. Although she can suppress it well on the job, she's still as boisterous as ever and Maidsong Academy could never quite iron out that wrinkle no matter how much training they've given her. Even still, Molly's a stickler for manners and shows of respect. You best say please and thank you or she'll be right cross with you.[/color]

[color=007236][b]Options[/b]:[/color] [color=8dc73f]Mutation - Malleable Physiology: Even from a young age, Molly's body has been shown to be incredibly responsive to external stimuli. A few hours of direct sunlight can darken her skin by several shades and turn her into a natural blonde in an afternoon. On the same token, staying indoors for a few days causes her skin to become pale and her hair to darken. One hearty Thanksgiving meal can see her gain 10 pounds while a few days of vigorous exercise dramatically increases her muscle mass. Through testing at Maidsong Academy, it was discovered that her body is even more malleable than previously thought. Her very bones can be stretched and compressed with the right application of stress to the point that her height can be altered with specialized braces for her arms, legs, and back. Even her face can be, for lack of a better word, sculpted over a period of several days. Even small changes to her workout routine and diet can have drastic changes on her figure in a matter of days. There are, however, some hard limitations to her abilities. Height changes of more than three inches are to be avoided as much as possible as they cause her excruciating joint pain and it is speculated this could lead to health complications in the future. Furthermore, any change she does make always requires outside stimulus such as braces, UV treatments, increased calorie intake or ice baths, voice coaching to change her vocal range, etc. Despite the incredible range of her ability, there are some things she cannot change including: gender, eye color, and fat distribution. She is able to add more fat through specialized bulk dieting, but the overall shape and placement cannot be altered without surgery.

Forbidden Martial Art - Path of Storms[/color]

[color=007236][b]Homeroom Teacher[/b]:[/color] [color=8dc73f]Sephra[/color]
[color=007236][b]Additional Abilities/Info[/b]:[/color] [color=8dc73f]Over the course of her training as an infiltrator, Molly has learned several languages and speaks fluent Louisiana French, French, Spanish (Mexico), Russian, Mandarin, Japanese, and is currently learning Swahili.[/color]

[color=007236][b]Backstory[/b]:[/color] [color=8dc73f]Homegrown, organic human stock, no test tube babies involved. Madeline "Molly" Montclair was born and raised in small town Maurepas, Louisiana, USA; the back of the backwoods. Molly and her three younger brothers grew up together with barely two nickels to rub together, but Mama and Papa worked hard and made ends meet. Even as poor as she and her siblings were, Molly grew up with many great role models from her own parents, to her grandparents, and her uncle. She learned a great deal from each of these people from how to fish and hunt, to how to sew and take care of children, and above all, how to cook. Couche-couche, fricassee, jambalaya, maque choux, and many more were added to her repertoire from a very young age such that she was employed in her father's restaurant by the age of 13 as a prep cook. 

She continued to watch and learn, absorbing her uncle's culinary wisdom like an excitable sponge day after day. Things went on like that for a while until Molly happened to be in the right place at the right time. She saw one of the new hires, a waiter, slip something in a dish just before leaving the kitchen. The idea that some new upstart would dare to think he could improve her family's recipes just like that. The disrespect, the absolute gall to go pouring mysterious powders on the food her family had made for someone else. Little Miss Molly marched on out of the kitchen waving a wooden spoon at the waiter asking him just what on God's green Earth he thought who he thought he was fooling about with the customer's food. He tried to play it off and attempted to shoo the girl away. This only caused her to raise such a ruckus that her father came out to see what the matter was and promptly arrested minutes later when it was discovered he was carrying a nearly empty vial with a bit of white powder at the bottom. Molly found the whole situation rather strange, but she was just glad the customer hadn't been made to eat whatever that was.

As it turns out, said customer was actually a M.A/I.D. operative enjoying her vacation days away from her job as the housekeeper of a ludicrously wealthy Silicon Valley entrepreneur. The child who saved her life was recommended as a candidate for training at Maidsong Academy. Her parents were more than a little suspicious when a strange woman in a suit arrived at their doorstep the following day informing them of what Molly had (unknowingly) done. She was quickly convinced to join the ranks of M.A/I.D by the promise of adventure and excitement. Her parents eventually matched this enthusiasm when the opportunities afforded to their daughter by the organization were explained and Molly was off by the end of the week.

The next decade saw Molly trained as a proper Maiden with a focus on cultivating the abilities she already had. She spent a great deal of time learning the culinary arts from around the world as well as their languages and culture. Although her main objective was learning to cook for any client, she was also gathering the knowledge to blend in to many different societies around the globe with the aid of her mutation. Her most notable education outside of Maidsong Academy was her internship at Sky Reach Restaurant, where her abilities as a chef were galvanized to a level she herself never thought possible, and the time she she spent living among the Storm Callers.

The Storm Callers, as they are known in English, are a Shintoist splinter group who fled persecution for being political dissenters in the wake of rising Japanese nationalism. They revere the gods Raijin and Funji above all others and seek to emulate their natures in day to day life by following the Path of Storms. To walk the path can dangerous and is not for the faint of heart. Practitioners of this ancient and deadly martial art embody the traits of their patrons as they fall upon their opponents like great and terrible monsoons by overwhelming anyone standing against them with strikes that shatter bone, snap joints, and crush vital organs into jelly. While outsiders know Storm Callers as fearsome warriors, those who have lived with them know well that the Path of Storms is more a way of life than a martial art. Followers are called on to abandon meekness in favor of passion, to throw off the shackles of inhibition, and embrace chaos with all its creative power. This is the truth of the Path of Storms.

The main body of the Storm Callers reside in northern California after their relocation with the help of M.A/I.D. The Shadow Queen deemed the group a valuable asset for training hand to hand combat specialists and agreed to help them if they were willing to train anyone she sent their way. Molly was one of those people. To be trained by the Storm Callers is to learn their way of life, to live as they do. She learned their customs, their beliefs. At night she conditioned her body to handle the techniques she was taught, but the mornings were spent tending crops and meditating.

Even spending so much time in an idyllic community in the forest could not temper her passion, her zeal. It is these qualities and more that often cause her to butt heads with her homeroom teacher, Sephra. Molly performs her job flawlessly and her manners are impeccable but struggled with proper etiquette. She learned eventually, but the facade of a prim and proper lady is just that, a facade, and one dropped the instant she's not on the job. The two frequently have arguments about a wide range of topics including but not limited to, the merits of a chef knowing how to distill moonshine with a pressure cooker, whether fried food can be gourmet cuisine, and the correct pronunciation of "pecan".
