Standard Meme:
Threadhopping with this character?: Yosh! I love a good threadhop.
Backtagging with this character?: Definitely! Though due to mun endurance, I'll just be up front and say that stuff two-three weeks old tends to get lost. So ping me!
Hugging this character?: If you know her or are anyone adorable under the age of ten, go ahead, or else she'd be a little startled.
Giving this character a kiss?: LOL - yes. Just be prepared for the consequences. She may kiss back. Or she may punch you. Or both!
☇(Something more intimate?): Deeeeeeeeepending on the circumstances. Ping me!
☇(Relationships?): Canonically, Molly is up the one-way romance street with her mentor, but that hasn't stopped her from going on dates and looking for alternatives yet. She's playing the long game with Harry, having pretty much accepted that he won't see her that way right now. So casual things might be in the cards, but you'll probably have a fight for all of her heart.
Punching this character (provided they can fight back): Who could punch this face? But, yes, nothing stopping it.
☇(Injury?): I like to talk out all these things, but it could certainly happen.
☇(Death?): Plot-pending, yes!
Is there anything you do not want mentioned near this character?: Molly is totally 4th Wallable, if your character would recognize her and/or her series. She'd get a huge kick out of it, probably. More importantly: Can she 4th Wall yours? 'cause she's kinda a pop culture reference machine...
So, Molly is a sensitive and the best way to describe that without reading all that tl;dr is to say she's like a low-level empath, picking up fear and death and what happened to cause death as it clings to people or objects. There are other ways this could work, but I don't know them for sure so I'm trying to keep it simple.
Questions:
1. Has your character killed a lot of people/caused a lot of pain/death? Did they like it? Can Molly pick up on that?
2. Any other connection with death you think she'd be able to pick up on?
Kid is a death god - and I think, although he has not killed people that kind of thing would resonate with her sensitivity and set her off, not as something she recognizes, necessarily, but she'd know "power" and "death."
3. Molly is a super-observant character when it comes to people's mental/emotional state. I'm not as much. Anything you'd like to leave for me to help her figure your character out?
Like - Katara touches her necklace when sad or looking and wears the same necklace every day. Significant! Rogue always wears gloves and tries to keep herself from ever getting closer than six inches to anyone...
Feel free to just leave things in syntax for me if you'd rather just skip filling out the form. I just wanted this out there!

1. Has your character killed a lot of people? Did they like it? Can Molly pick up on that?
... Not even close. Could she pick up on the opposite, I wonder? Robert has witnessed a pretty important (and horrible) death from close-range in Luceti, and still carries guilt about the fact it happened - he kind of blames himself...
2. Molly is a super-observant character when it comes to people's mental/emotional state. I'm not as much. Anything you'd like to leave for me to help her figure your character out?
Oh yes. Robert has a bunch of obvious cues and clearly broadcasts his social cues because he's not really good at picking them up or hiding his own. He fiddles with his lab coat sleeves a lot, as well as his glasses, and has a tendency to fidget. He won't make eye contact long unless he really trusts someone. He also has a stutter which worsens when he's anxious or in a situation he isn't emotionally good at handling.
All of these things act as a good barometer of his current mental state. :|a I'll usually describe this kind of stuff, though! So don't worry about missing it or anything. o/`
... Also, Robert wears the same lab coat and glasses all the time. That's significant too.
Kazooie
1. Has your character killed a lot of people? Did they like it? Can Molly pick up on that?
Technically, yes, for both things. However, it's a bit different, because Kazooie's cartoony world means that she doesn't really see it in the same way that Molly would see it. But she definitely goes on about being a hero and kicking bad guy butt - so it's up to how she'd interpret it.
She's also killed people in the draft, though she did not enjoy that anywhere near as much. :|;
2. Molly is a super-observant character when it comes to people's mental/emotional state. I'm not as much. Anything you'd like to leave for me to help her figure your character out?
Huh... Kazooie doesn't have a lot of cues, but she does sometimes scuff the ground with a talon when annoyed or awkward. Most of her emotional stuff is either really surface-obvious or deeply hidden (though perhaps Molly will be able to tell when she's a bit insecure?).

But this is great info! Thanks!

1. Has your character killed a lot of people? Did they like it? Can Molly pick up on that?
People? No. In fact, barring the Third Partiers, Buffy has killed no soulled individuals as per her canon's criteria. She has slayed a lot of demons and vampires -- I don't know how that might affect Molly's perception. But she's welcome to pick up what she may. In terms of enjoyment? Buffy feels satisfaction at a vamp well slayed and a visceral sense of purpose but she vehemently suggests that she does not LIKE it. Or -- she tries to convince herself of the case. But when it comes to soulled people? Even deaths she's simply failed to avert send her into dark spirals of unhappiness. She once THOUGHT she ACCIDENTALLY killed a girl and her knee-jerk reaction was to throw herself at the police.
Buffy prefers quick slays -- there's been one canon instance of torturing a vamp with a cross in order to get information but Buffy was notably recovering from her first canon death and was in a very...not-her-like place. She certainly didn't enjoy it.

Oh boy. Well -- frightfully, perhaps, for Molly? Buffy LIKES eye contact. She maintains it very thoroughly and brashly. Even when upset, she very rarely drops her gaze unless she's shaken, embarrassed, or humiliated. When she feels she needs to be more "in control" of a situation, she tends to firmly cross her arms over her chest. Her posture tends to be strong and rigid unless she's joking around. Then it can be almost loafing-esque. When she's truly nervous, she fidgets with her hair.

RICHARD SHARPE:
1. Has your character killed a lot of people? Did they like it? Can Molly pick up on that?
Sharpe has killed a lot of people. Mostly, enemy soldiers. He has never enjoyed the killing (although he can get caught up in the 'thrill' of battle, it has never been a positive reaction to the death). Routinely, he tries to kill his enemies as humanely as possible. Even those he hates, he doesn't try to make them suffer. But the point still remains that his kill count is very, very high. You don't fight as an infantryman for over ten years and not rack up a kill count. I'm not sure how nuanced Molly's ability to sense things are but his actions are certainly reserved to the war effort. He is not cruel or hurtful to his men. Although he'll smack a soldier around if he thinks they're being bloody idiots; however, this amounts to a sharp punch on the shoulder or a hard shove -- no damage. And he often resorts to this tactic so as to avoid crueler army punishments such as floggings or hangings: two things he can't abide.
2. Molly is a super-observant character when it comes to people's mental/emotional state. I'm not as much. Anything you'd like to leave for me to help her figure your character out?
I'm...still working this out in tags. LOL. Let's say I'll leave things in syntax. For sure? Richard is at his most fidgety when he feels torn between duty and honour. Orders and morality. He gets very anxious, frustrated, and might pace or fidget with his sword or huff his breath.
Also. He jokes with a very neutral expression (something of a survival mechanism). Anything else I'll let you know in the tags.

1. Has your character killed a lot of people? Did they like it? Can Molly pick up on that?
Yukio has never killed a human being before, though he has exorcised his fair share of demons. Given the circumstances for why he decided to become an exorcist it might be enjoyable in that he knows he can protect his brother by doing this, but otherwise he's very professional and 'by the books' when it comes to being an exorcist and more likely treats it as just his vocation.
Each exorcism performed usually has a well thought out plan behind it with smaller minions being taken out with gunfire. It all depends on the demon being fought.
Oh, and in regards to spiritual things, Yukio always carries around vials, if not jars, of holy water around with him. Being a cram teacher a True Cross also means he's familiar with the Christian bible, though more out of it being a necessity for being an exorcist than being an actual believer.
2. Molly is a super-observant character when it comes to people's mental/emotional state. I'm not as much. Anything you'd like to leave for me to help her figure your character out?
He is the master of the poker face. Though there are a lot of emotions surrounding his brother, father and childhood, Yukio is an expert at keeping a straight face and bottling up those emotions deep inside. Only when someone really ticks him off does he ever get visibly angry. Most of the time he's either smiling politely or line facing all over the place.

Sabriel hasn't killed anyone living but she has banished many Dead spirits back into Death so...it doesn't really count as killing per se. She doesn't enjoy it, it's simply a part of her responsibilities as Abhorsen. Molly is free to pick up on this if she can.
2. Any other connection with death you think she'd be able to pick up on?
Sabriel is a necromancer, she ventures regularly into Death, has dealt with many Dead things and even revived a bunny. >_> That said she is also a descendant of one of the Great Charters which allows her to be a necromancer and remain untarnished by the Free magic required to be one.
It is also suggested in the later books that the Bright Shiner the Abhorsens are descended from is Astarael, whose call draws all that hear it into Death.
3. Molly is a super-observant character when it comes to people's mental/emotional state. I'm not as much. Anything you'd like to leave for me to help her figure your character out?
Sabriel generally keeps her emotions under control as of late but Molly will probably be able to pick up on any unrest or disquieted feelings she's trying to suppress. I'll usually mention what she's really feeling but if I forget feel free to give me a poke if you feel something should be there.

1. Has your character killed a lot of people? Did they like it? Can Molly pick up on that? Helios has killed exactly one person his entire life and that would Elise. Unintentionally of course and he didn't like it all. Actually he has a lot of guilt over it so.
2. Any other connection with death you think she'd be able to pick up on?
Hm well he's talked to spirits and ghosts before but that's about it.
3. Molly is a super-observant character when it comes to people's mental/emotional state. I'm not as much. Anything you'd like to leave for me to help her figure your character out?
Helios typically keeps his emotion rather concealed. But sometimes he can slip and actually express his deeper guilt/sadness/pain. But usually if there's anything I'll mention it~
- Silth:
1. Has your character killed a lot of people? Did they like it? Can Molly pick up on that?
Yes he has and yes he did. She can totally pick up on too.
2. Any other connection with death you think she'd be able to pick up on?
Silth is a necromancer so he's dealt with raising undead warriors/even a dragon and also has dealt with talking to spirits and even being possessed by them at some point.
3. Molly is a super-observant character when it comes to people's mental/emotional state. I'm not as much. Anything you'd like to leave for me to help her figure your character out?
Silth is...really hard to read mainly because his emotions are near nonexistant. But I'll let you know if there's anything for her to pick up on.
- Starscream:
1. Has your character killed a lot of people? Did they like it? Can Molly pick up on that?
He has and yes he's also enjoyed it. Don't worry about picking up on it he'll probably state it somewhere at some point. It's an ego boost for him.
2. Any other connection with death you think she'd be able to pick up on?
There's one thing but I dunno how much of a connection she could make. There's stuff called dark energon in his canon that allows the user to raise dead Cybertronians back to life. They're basically zombies at that point, yeah idk either, but aside from Starscream using that all of once there's not much else.
3. Molly is a super-observant character when it comes to people's mental/emotional state. I'm not as much. Anything you'd like to leave for me to help her figure your character out?
He won't really be hiding the fact of his emotional states. Mentally though Starscream is a bit of a wild card so it's really hard to pinpoint when he's actually being truthful or not. He's a cunning meanie in those regards.
/only does it for two who will likely tag her right now, can edit later I guess???
1. Has your character killed a lot of people? Did they like it? Can Molly pick up on that?
Scorpius - lol yeah duh
Rin - nooooo? His flames (which are Satan's) have, but his flames are his demonic heart so idek if they could as it or not
2. Any other connection with death you think she'd be able to pick up on?
Scorpius - man this guy lives and breathes death
Rin - his mother died giving birth to him and his brother, his adoptive dad was killed by Satan in front of him ... idek
3. Molly is a super-observant character when it comes to people's mental/emotional state. I'm not as much. Anything you'd like to leave for me to help her figure your character out?
Scorp is a weirdo in a bondage suit. The only emotion which shows on him is Anger and i'll end up noting that because he goes through physiological change.
Rin, simiularly when he gets angry, starts to light on (blue) fire and get flashes of heat/light in the same way. He also has pointed ears and elongated fangs and a tail. Also his sword is sealing his demonic heart so he basically always has that

Loki has caused the deaths of a significant number of people and personally killed quite a few. He didn't take particular pleasure in it.
2. Any other connection with death you think she'd be able to pick up on?
Not as such at the moment.
3. Molly is a super-observant character when it comes to people's mental/emotional state. I'm not as much. Anything you'd like to leave for me to help her figure your character out?
Loki's a really good liar, so she should have a rough time with him anyway.

1. Has your character killed a lot of people? Did they like it? Can Molly pick up on that?
Archie - Yes, no, yes. Military man. Never in cold blood.
Peeta - No, no, yes.
Gregor - No, hell no, yes.
2. Any other connection with death you think she'd be able to pick up on?
Archie - Dead back in his own world.
Peeta - Has seen a lot of death. Not sure if that counts.
Gregor - Has lost a lot of people from a very young age. Again, not sure if that counts.
3. Molly is a super-observant character when it comes to people's mental/emotional state. I'm not as much. Anything you'd like to leave for me to help her figure your character out?
Archie's tells when he is frightened or nervous are to look rather neutral, tense his jaw, and blink very rapidly.
Gregor tends to have a limited range of expression, but she can probably pick up that his supposed severity is really better interpreted as melancholy.
Peeta's an open book, except that he's a consummate liar with no discernible tells.
