Molly McGee is the titular main protagonist of The Ghost and Molly McGee.
 She is a Thai-American girl who became friends with a grumpy ghost 
named Scratch, who after a curse he tries to put on her backfires, ends 
up cursed forever by Molly's presence. 
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. 
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 na star ivety in "Scratch the Surface" 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.
