## Physical description

### Skin color

Tan

**Molly Mabray**, later known as "**Molly Shahnyaa Mabray**"after Name Game, is the titular main protagonist of *Molly of Denali*. She is a 10-year-old Alaska Native vlogger who is friends with Tooey Ookami and Trini Mumford and is known to be an adventurous explorer. She loves to play with her friends and helps out alongside her parents running the Denali Trading Post.

At the start of each episode, she announces the title.

## Appearance

Molly has tan skin, short straight brown hair, and black irises. Molly usually wears a red summer parka with pink trim along the sides, blue cuffed jeans, and purple high top sneakers with white soles and laces.

To sleep, Molly wears a blue long sleeve pajama shirt with a puffin on it, paired with a darker shade of blue sweatpants. On some occasions she wears moose slippers to bed.

When it is snowing, Molly wears a brown coat with a fluffy white collar, blue jeans, and brown boots. She also wears a blue beanie with a knitted design, lined on the inside with white fluff and topped off with a big pink pom pom.

When it isn't as cold, she replaces the brown coat with a red vest, and wears her usual sneakers instead of boots.

## Personality

Molly is a curious girl with an adventurous spirit that goes hand in hand with her love of helping others and sharing what she learns through her vlog. Molly loves animals (especially puffins), playing basketball with her friends, and helping her parents run the Denali Trading Post.

Though Molly is very kind (most of the time), she has a habit of being spontaneous, ignorant and even bossy, sometimes acting before thinking, which usually leads to conflict. Never intentionally does she mean to ignore, but it happens on many occasions.

She is very sweet and understanding to those around her, taking her time to talk and listen to their stories and thoughts, and she goes out of her way to help other people in any way she can.

## Relationships

#### Tooey Ookami

They are both incredibly close and Molly considers him her best friend, as does he. The two are most often seen together around Qyah, playing basketball or just taking walks. They show a great amount of trust in each other.

They have been best friends for as far as they can remember and their families are also very close. Layla and Atsaq (Molly and Tooey's mothers) have also been best friends since they were young, which is why Tooey and Molly grew up together. Walter and Kenji (Molly and Tooey's fathers) are best friends as well.

#### Trini Mumford

Molly and Tooey meet Trini in Culture Clash where it is revealed that Trini moved from Austin, Texas to Qyah, Alaska. After accidentally getting on Trini's bad side by unintentionally saying she was too short and young to be on the basketball team, Molly was quick to fix her mistake in order to save their friendship, and they have been good friends ever since.

#### Layla Mabray

Molly is very close with her mom, as she is with the rest of her family. Molly comes to her mom for advice and they have a very healthy mother/daughter relationship. Layla is protective and reasonable with Molly and will go out of her way to make her daughter happy.

#### Walter Mabray

Molly and her dad are very alike, almost like Walter is one of her best friends. They play together constantly and crack jokes every chance they get. Though Walter is more lenient than Layla, he is still a great father to Molly and is very patient with her.

#### Nehtan Kon

Grandpa Nat cares for Molly as if she were his own daughter. They spend a lot of time together and have a great relationship. He's very kind towards Molly and Molly would do anything to make him happy. For instance, she spent an entire day looking for his old drum that anyone else would've given up on finding.

## Trivia

* Molly speaks some Gwich’in and has made it her goal to master the language.
* she also has Koyukon and Dena’ina Athabascan heritage.
* Sovereign Bill, who voices Molly, debuted in this show.
* Molly’s Native name is Shahnyaa, which means "one who informs us".
	+ Previously, Molly was the only member of her family (or in general for the show) who did not have a Native name until at the end of "Name Game" where Aunt Merna gave it to her.

* Molly's summer parka (aka *kuspuk/qaspeq/atikłuk*) is a traditional Alaska Native garment commonly worn by both Native people and non-Native people in Alaska.
* In Big Sulky, we find out Molly was born in 2009, meaning by now she would be about 13 years old (since she was 10 at the beginning of the show).
* Molly can play the drums and fiddle, as seen in Fiddlesticks. We also find out she can knit and bake as of Party Moose/Berry Itchy Day.
* There's a chance Molly has a small relationship with Tooey. In the podcast, she speaks very fondly of him to other people, going as far as to ramble about him to Eugene Pike while on a walk. In the entire podcast her entire motivation is Tooey, as she mentions him a LOT. Though it's likely her feelings are purely platonic and they're just very close friends, it's apparent that she does cares about Tooey a lot.
* Molly named Tooey's new puppy in Puppy Palooza, as he named Suki in the Podcast.
* Molly's birthday is in late November, according to the transcript for the first episode of the podcast, which makes her zodiac sign Sagittarius like Trini.
* Her running gag in the series is that when she thinks someone will say yes to or love her ideas, they say no or dislike them. One example is in "Molly and the Great One"
* Molly and Tooey have broken the law before. In season one of the podcast they trespass and break into the Denali Trading Post before it was officially owned by the Mabrays, meaning they legally committed two felonies.
* A mascot suit version of Molly, similar to sports mascots, appeared at schools, events, and in educational videos.
