Molly

**Molly** is a supporting character in the *Divine Comedy*.

In life she was formerly known as Molly Di Salvo, the younger sister of Armando Di Salvo (Arackniss), the paternal twin sister of Angel Dust, and the daughter of Henry Di Salvo (Henroin). In contrast to her family members, apart from her mother, Molly found herself in Heaven upon her passing, reincarnating as a saint. This divergence set her apart from her brothers and father, who were reborn as sinners in Hell. Molly is renowned for her affinity for playful pranks and a lively, spirited persona.

## History

### Background

Molly was then known as Molly Di Salvo and born into a notorious crime family alongside her paternal twin brother Angelo Di Salvo. She was the only child of Henry who he did not raise to be a mobster, partly because he wanted to keep her safe, and partly because he did not think she, as a woman, would ever have what it took to be a mobster. Molly was the cherished and beloved child of the family, and her parents would spoil her. Despite her parents' pampering, Molly was a passionate and bright child to have around. She grew to be an excellent tailor and makeup artist, eventually owning her own boutique when she was 24.

Molly was very close to her twin brother, Angelo, though her relationship with her older brother, Armando, was less than ideal. At some point, Angelo came out to Molly, making her the only person on Earth who knew of this. Molly responded by immediately and happily accepting him, promising to not tell a soul. Their relationship strengthened even more after this, with Molly inviting Angelo to her boutique after hours so she could do his makeup and let him use the clothes she had made for him.

As the years went on, Molly and Angelo grew somewhat distant as Henry made Angelo a full-time underboss of his mafia, and Armando forbid Angelo from being around Molly too much, fearing her feminine traits would rub off on him. Angelo became increasingly addicted to cocaine, using it to cope with being around his father and brother. When Molly noticed Angelo's struggles with the drug, she would try to help him, but he was no longer himself. When Angelo eventually died alone of a cocaine overdose, Molly was the one who discovered his body since she was the only one who cared to check on him.

### Arrival to Heaven

Molly's life came to an end when she was brutally murdered by a gang that her father had been feuding with which only reached its boiling point in the aftermath of the Apalachin meeting between the Commission after the authorities raided their hideouts to apprehend the mafia dons. Her death left Henry irreversibly heartbroken and riddled with guilt, and led to his wife dying of a grief-induced stroke as the pain of losing her and Angelo became too much.

Molly was reborn in Heaven as a saint for her kindness and positive attitude that brightened the lives of everyone around her, ascending to the first Sphere of Heaven Humility where she also struck a great friendship with the governing archangel of said Sphere Haniel.
