Princess Powerful/Bruiser

Real Name: Molly Hayes

Alias: Princess Powerful/Bruiser

Title: Bestest Princess

Identity: Public

Age: 11

Species: Mutant



Physical Appearance:
Despite standing at a little under five feet tall, Molly has a big personality. It's hard to tell she's got super strength, because she's built like a twig. The kid is in-between growth spurts, giving her an awkward and gangly look sometimes, or an awkward and pudgy look. Depends on the artist growth spurt. Her face is always round and childish, and still has a fair amount of baby fat on it. Her hair is light brown and goes to about mid-back. She always wears it down, and always suffers from a terrible case of hat-hair, because she's always wearing some sort of fantastical hat. Molly wears a hat because her mother told her that her hair was so tangly that birds would nest in it. Hats were the obvious anti-bird solution. As far as clothing goes, Molly dresses like any other pre-teen Californian girl. She favors the color pink, rainbows, and hearts, but her outfits vary wildly.


Personality:
She is the youngest of the Runaways, and often acts like it. She has her naive moments, and her childishly idealistic ones. When she first set off with the runaways Molly thought that running away from home was a great adventure. Her idealism and cheerful nature shone through in that she was the only one to actually make herself a super hero costume, and is a fan of absurd and colorful headgear. She's a creative and colorful little girl who can often get swept up in the moment. She designed costumes for her friends, and loves to use their code names. She is a huge fangirl: Molly admires Dazzler, and has a crush on Wolverine. She also sleeps with a Doop plush doll. Steal him and she will end you.

Even though she grew up with a pair of very racist, and probably incestuous, parents Molly doesn't have any problem with people who aren't mutants like her. She will inform you that you better not be racist against her, but she's so openly curious about the world, and enjoys meeting different kinds of people that she obviously doesn't agree with her parent's philosophy. The Hayes girl is friendly, and loves to meet new people. She is often seen welcoming new members into their little gang of strays and is often the first to bond with others. Molly is very trusting, unless she's frightened. Then you should probably back off.

This little girl isn't all sunshine and rainbows. Molly, like any child, can get grumpy. Whether it's because she's tired, or frustrated, or homesick, Molly has her less-then-stellar moments where she whines and pouts and punches people out of buildings. When she's in a mood she can seem impossible, but it's pretty easy to coax her out of it. Molly responds well to jokes, food, and just being left alone to take a nap.

Molly is quite precocious, despite her age, and sometimes seems to know more then she should for a pre-teen. These pearls of wisdom are few and far between, but she is actually capable of giving sound advice…between putting hats on dinosaurs and napping against whoever is nearby. She has more immature spots too, especially when she's feeling guilty about killing their parents, and grief especially seems to manifest in her doing stupid things and acting younger than she is.



Powers:
SUPERHUMAN STRENGTH
Despite her tiny stature Molly is capable of lifting upwards of 100 tons. The upper limits of her powers have not been fully tested yet, but she has been seen toppling monsters as large as skyscrapers, tunneling through miles of rock, and lifting cars above her head. It is probably also not a good idea not to let her punch you.

INVULNERABILITY
While her powers are activated Molly shows some degree of invulnerability. It is unknown how far these go as her powers are still developing.

CHILD GLOWSTICK
When her powers are activated Molly's eyes glow fuchsia and so do the tips of her hair.


Abilities:
COSTUME DESIGNER
Molly will be more than happy to doodle you a costume design. Beware: It will be very pink.

THEME SONG SINGER
If you have a theme song, she will sing it for you. If you don't have a theme song, she will make one up for you.


History:
Molly grew up with her parents, a pair of telepathic mutants who posed as a doctor and a speech therapist. Growing up with a pair of doctors wasn't super fun, but at least they weren't dentists. Molly was perfectly happy living with her parents until they turned out to be evil. It happened during an annual charity get-together just like any other. Molly had known the other kids as far back as she could remember: Alex, Gert, Chase, Nico, and Karolina. They were practically family. Hanging out with the big kids was always cool. She tagged along when they decided to sneak and see what actually happened during their parent's charity meetings. Molly wasn't actually allowed to know what happened. Alex had her sent away just in time to avoid witnessing their parents murder an innocent girl. She would not find out what happened that night until much later.

The next night Molly woke up to find her friends had barged into her house and were attacking her mother. The little girl had absolutely no idea why they were doing this, or why they had a dinosaur, and her mutant powers woke for the first time. What looked like her friends attacking her mother had turned out to be an obvious ambush on the part of the parents. Molly joined her friends in the escape, not entirely understanding what was going on, but certainly enjoying the adventure. She didn't believe at first that her parents were evil, but that didn't mean she couldn't have fun!

To help make up for the crimes of their parents the little group of Runaways decided to fight crime. Molly dived in with childish exuberance, thinking that fighting crime would make her an official super hero, and made herself a costume. The codename she decided on was Princess Powerful (though almost everyone else called her Bruiser). Their first attempt at crime fighting didn't go well. But! They did make a new friend named Topher. It turned out, though, that Topher was actually an evil vampire who wanted to feed on the group of friends. His accidental death at the hands of Karolina really rattled Molly. She then began to realize just how much things had changed and how this new life wasn't a game.

After discovering their parent's nefarious plans Molly and the gang decided to stop them. They decided that they were going to stop their parent's evil ritual. It was during this battle that they realized that Alex was actually loyal to their parents! His plans to take the six spots for his parents, himself, and Nico's family were interrupted when Molly destroyed the sacrifice for the Gobborim, ruining the ritual. The Gobborim became angry and destroyed Alex. Their parents attacked the monsters while the children escape, and were destroyed in the process.

With the Pride gone their children were separated and placed in foster homes. Molly was sent to X-Corp, but she wasn't there long before Gert helped her escape to be with her friends again. They took off in the Leapfrog so that they could all stay together and continued to pretend to be superheroes.

They made a new friend, Victor, and lost Carolina when she went to space to get married and stop some sort of alien war. Molly was sad that her friend was gone, but she didn't have too much time to mope because another friend needed her! Cloak arrived and told them that Dagger was in danger. The group headed to NYC to help save her, but Molly ended up being left in the care of an elderly priest because it was too dangerous.

She had just met a new superhero. A famous one! Ms Marvel! When they pair were suddenly not in the same place anymore. The new world was scary, especially without her friends, but at least she's got a new friend to share it with.

Weaknesses:

SUPERHUMAN TIRED
When using her powers Molly gets tired extremely quickly and has the tendency to literally pass out after exerting too much energy. Caffeine can help for a short time, but it actually makes the crash worse. Once Molly has expended her energy she will fall asleep. Even in the middle of battle. When her powers turn off she is just as vulnerable as any human child. If, y'know, human children had a tendency to sleep in a battle field.

IT'S A MINOR THING
Molly is only eleven. She can't function without adult care, or without the help of her older friends. She's still very much a child, and while she has her moments of gleaming wisdom and maturity they are a little stretched far and few between.

IMMATURE? YOU'RE IMMATURE!
Whenever Molly is feeling overwhelmed by the things going on around her she has a tendency to regress and act more childishly. Part of this was encouraged by her being the youngest of the kids, but it's also a way of coping. Her greatest fear is that she's going to end up evil like her parents.
