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.
