**Molly Thompson** is a main character in the Netflix Original series, *No Good Nick*. She is portrayed by Lauren Lindsey Donzis.

## Summary

She is a student, the younger Thompson child, and an activist with a large online following. Although she is very competitive like her mother, she does have a strong passion for helping people

## Personality

She can sometimes come off as mean and rude. However, she helps others and the planet, and often does good deeds to try to make a difference in the world. She usually sees the worst in everyone. Molly Thompson shows her attitude to animals and the Earth's environment. She is considered to be “a charitable and energetic character.” Though sometimes she can be a brat.

She has a very difficult time admitting responsibility for her actions. In “The Mystery Shopper,” she didn’t seem to think she had done anything wrong, even though both Nick and Becky tried to get Molly to realize that she had done something that hurt both of their feelings. She is also very self-centered, despite her care for other people, because she was mainly focused on how she was affected after Nick (unknown to her at the time) had leaked videos of her shaming her own friends and framed her for conning the school. Molly was convinced that she was the victim in both cases because she was exposed, not realizing how her actions were affecting other people. She was also a shameless liar as she could lie and break promises without a quam and act like she did nothing wrong as she justifies her lies as “just words.” However, she seems to have finally realized her selfishness after Ed shows her his ‘technique‘ of releasing anger, revealing that she was angry at herself because deep down, she knew all along that she was responsible for her actions, and broke down in guilt.

She is also seen in “The Pied Piper” to want to get everything her way. In the same episode, as well as “The Big Mitt,” Molly is told that she is competitive.

## Relationships

* Familial
* Non-Familial

**Jeremy Thompson**
(brother)

Molly and Jeremy do not appear to have the strongest relationship, although it does seem that Molly is closest to Jeremy in the family. While they don’t have the best relationship, they have cooperated before, an example of this being in “The Pig in a Poke”.
Jeremy’s somewhat tactless nature can sometimes annoy Molly.

**Liz Thompson**
(mother)

Liz and Molly were closer when they were younger. However, the two drifted apart when Molly entered middle school, due to the fact that Molly was growing up. As she grew up, Molly started being sassy towards her mother. However, in “The Pig in a Poke”, she advertised Crescendo’s wine tasting event, which helped her mother. Molly does show occasional care towards her.

**Ed Thompson**
(father)

In “The Badger Game”, Molly was annoyed with her father when he downloaded an app on her phone to ensure that she reply as soon as he texts her. In “The Bank Job,” she gets jealous when Ed focuses more on Nick than her.

**Nick Franzelli** (best friend)
When Nick moves in with the Thompsons, she shares a room with Molly. Molly urges Nick to join the volunteer squad at school, and relies on Nick to help her against Becky. Molly feels jealous when she meets Nick's childhood best friend, Riley, because she thought she was Nick's best friend.

**Becky** (frenemies, former best friends, Volunteer Squad member)
Becky and Molly met on the first day of third grade and became best friends. But when they entered middle school, they began competing with each other on social media and especially when they form the volunteer squad. Molly sees Becky as competitive and always tries to one-up her in what causes they support and trying to take her role as leader of the squad. When Nick leaks footage of Molly ranting about Becky, she kicks her out of the volunteer squad and is no longer friends with her. But when Nick convinces Becky to forgive her, they become friends again.

Tamika is Molly's friend and the youngest member in the Volunteer Squad. Molly thinks Tamika blindly follows whatever Becky wants.
