Molly Kelley

**Molly, the Princess of the Magical World** (Named **Molly Kelley** during her stay in the human universe) is one of the main characters of the series: Magical Molly!. Living an ordinary life, Molly has a loving family and is surrounded by good friends. One day she had a dream of a mysterious girl with strange powers, who was fighting a powerful Witch.

## Personality

Soft, friendly and naive (but occasionally confident), she primarily serves (in some timelines) as Team Quintet's secondary ranged shooter, with her trademark bow and arrow. Her teammates would confirm that she has some great magical potential. Because of her kind hearted personality, she can be worried to her allies, and a little (or too) kind-hearted to anti-heroes (or enemies), so that Kacey calls her "soft, softer than the softest sofa at the soft sofa store*".*

## History

### As Princess of the Magical World

Molly, known as Princess Molly, was the princess of the beautiful, space-like dimensions known as The Magical World. But an evil substance destroyed her magic, forcing her to hide somewhere until she gains her power back.

### Living with the Kelley family

Molly quickly finds the Kelley Family, a nice group of people consisting of Judy, Thomas, and Taylor. Implanting false memories in them, and in her own head too, she becomes Molly Kelley, their ordinary (and a bit quirky) daughter.

### Japanese-only events

*The following events only occur in the Japanese parody-dub of*Magical Molly!

#### Meeting Homura

In the last scene of Episode 12, Molly (in her Princess form) contacts Homura Akemi, Hilda's prime-universe counterpart. At first, Homura mistakens the voice for Madoka Kaname, Molly's prime-universe counterpart. However, Molly tells Homura that her actions accidentally created her universe, and that she managed to save it, but "since it's just a cheaper version of yours anyway" Molly decided to erase the coffee incident from history so that American fans don't have to worry about a cheap knockoff anymore. Homura asks Molly if she is able to defeat Walpurgisnacht, but Molly replies that she is only a princess, not a goddess, and she already used all her powers to erase the coffee incident. However, Molly reassures Homura that, together with Madoka, they will bring peace to their universe "in a much more violent way". As Molly's voice fades away, Homura can tell that Molly is fading from existence; she cries over having to watch Madoka die again "even if it's not really Madoka", and resolves to save her friend, leading to the events in *Puella Magi Madoka Magica*.

### Homura Akemi (Japanese only)
