Molly was a beautiful girl of sixteen, with long black hair and skin that bore witness to her heritage. Born a Nyonya in the city of Malacca, she wasn't like the other girls of her age because Molly was full of adventure spirits.
Once, she had gone to Mount Ophir with her so called boyfriend from school, to trek up to the waterfall. They had had so much fun there that they forgot the time. When it started to pour heavily, they had to take shelter under a big tree, but the water rose so quickly that they were trapped there. Finally, Molly and the boy had climbed up the tree and spent the night there.
Her parents were not able to curb her spirits, so they just let her enjoy her life the way she felt was normal, adventure after adventure.
