Molly
Molly is a charming young woman who works and lives at the Bluebird Cafe. She is cheerful, likes to care for her appearance, enjoys taking care of the cafe's customers, and is generally great. Though deep inside, Molly is lonely and unlucky in love. She used to live in the city until the events of the game, where she tried to find her special someone. Eventually, Molly moved away from the big city out of frustration. Sometimes you'll find her standing on the bridge, watching the stream flow towards the ocean, lost in thought about things that happened in her past.
In the original Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life, Molly's name was Muffy. Instead of using her Japanese name, Muumuu, (considered pretty ridiculous from an English perspective), Marvelous changed her name. Natsume's name for the character is specific to the Harvest Moon series and could not be used in the Story of Seasons series.
After marriage, Molly will continue to work at the cafe with Gavin.

Gift Preferences
Molly likes Butter and Cheese (Rank B, A, or S) and wildflowers (Toy Flower, Mistmoon, Happy Lamp, Upseed, etc.). She also likes the coins from the excavation site, whether a normal Coin, Silver Coin, or Gold Coin. You can find normal Coin in Chapter 1, but must wait until Chapter 2 for Silver Coin and Chapter 4 for Gold Coin. Egg Soup is an easy dish to make to give to Molly, as you only need an egg to make the recipe.
She also likes Gold Sheep Wool, but it's better to sell that then give it as a gift.

It wasn't long ago that she lived in the city, but now it feels like she doesn't belong there. She thinks the valley is a better fit for her anyway. Where do you think she belongs?

Option 1A: No problem. (+10 affection with Molly)
Now that she's safe indoors, Molly feels relieved. It's the first time she has been in this type of situation and she's quite terrified. It's also the first time she's been inside your house! It has a nice atmosphere, and your bed looks like a nice spot to rest! Suddenly, there's a knock at the door.
Takakura has brought more visitors: Carter, Charlie, and Gavin. Charlie is scolding Gavin for leaving his shop unattended, while Carter asks what Molly is doing in your house. Gavin is also annoyed, as he mentions that they do have cooking ingredients for the cafe. Oh yea! Molly was supposed to be on a shopping errand. She then realizes the strange person chasing after her is Gavin. He admits that he tried to catch up to her because she had gone shopping for ingredients by herself, but it was dark. Gavin was shocked when Molly screamed and ran away!
Molly is a bit annoyed at Gavin and storms off to return to the coffee shop with the three men following her. Takakura sighs again and returns to his house.
Option 1B: I'll walk you back. (-5 affection with Molly)
Oh yea, she's supposed to be here to do some shopping first!
On the way back, Molly tells you she broke a glass today, but it was only one this time. Gavin still sent her out to your place.

The two of you walk into the forest, where Molly comments on how nice it always is here. She's looking forward to getting married soon. It's like a dream! Molly is looking forward to spending the rest of her life with you. She also tells you that she put the Blue Feather in a vase. On days she doesn't get to see you, she looks at the feather and hopes she can see you the next day.
You continue on the walk. Molly remembers that she recently received a letter from her old friend. After they got married, they bought a house together. Molly received their new address and photograph of the happy couple. She wasn't expecting to hear anything from her friend after she attended their wedding ceremony, so she was surprised.
Option 1A: I can't wait until we move in together, too.
