=• Overview •= Atropy sits on the edges of society and throws stones at the establishment. In her Art, she works primarily in sculpture to get her point across, but dabbles in street graffiti and painting as well. In the Secret World though, she uses every tool of violence and guile that the Dragon and Gaia have gifted her with. She seems so normal in most conversation, but sometimes you can catch a glimpse of the mindset behind that facade. It is one with few boundaries when it comes to combating the Filth and other creatures.

=• A Youth Misspent •= Molly was born in 1985 on the Naval Base at San Diego. Her mother is a Japanese citizen, her father an American Marine. They met while he was stationed in South Korea, actually, but that's another story. Her father was a career military man. He knew nothing but a regimented lifestyle and was proud to have worked his way up the ranks of the Marines. Semper Fi wasn't just a catch phrase around their house.

So Molly's youth was spent moving around the country from military base to military base, sometimes twice in a year or more. She was always "the new kid" in grade school. To adapt she accepted that she's going to be an outsider most of the time, and when she makes friends, she decides quick and trys to get every ounce of joy she can from the relationship, for such things have never lasted.

Aside from the transient nature of being a military brat, life was largely normal for Molly and the Hulorn family until the end of middle school. They weren't living in the best of places. Life had become a series of empty lots and run down 7-11's, existing on the margins of a broader society she never felt she had access to. It is in these places that the thing found her. It took advantage of the lonely child, easily overwhelming her with a possession. The next year is largely a blank to Molly. She remembers the feelings of alienation and anger that the thing engendered in her, she remembers the effects it wrought in her life. Nothing of Molly's youth was left untouched. By the time the Shadow's passage was complete, everything was in ruins. Her mother couldn't look at her. Her father was in jail for domestic violence. She was staring at a long wait through high school which probably ends in prison for herself. The only bright point was an acquaintance of her mothers from Japan. Katsuo Hara was a Dragon who had come at the request of Molly's mother. He had exorcised the Shadow from Molly's life and offered to take the girl with him back to Japan to study there and be with the Dragon who could protect her. After the year of hell, her mother agreed.

High School in Japan was.. difficult to say the least. She did not thrive, but she was grateful to Katsuo for the opportunity he was giving her. The time spent as a possessed had left her infected with a small amount of power and she spent the time studying her schoolwork, learning Japanese, and figuring out to use what small gifts she had.

During High School, she discovered a love of art in the physical media, and so headed back to the States to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago for a degree in Fine Arts. While there, she had her first work against the powers that had victimized her as a child. The Dragon tasked her with cleansing an abandoned and infested house in Chicago's older suburbs. The task was small, something any accomplished Dragon could have done in an evening's work. It took her days to figure it out, and even then it almost killed her. Still, she did it.

Leaving the Institute after two and a half years, Molly moved to Detroit. She took a loan from her Uncle Katsuo and purchased a studio space there. She took on the Dragon name of "Atropy" and went to work on her art when she wasn't doing small jobs for the Dragon around the great lakes region. Things had settled into a pace of sorts when the Tokyo incident occurred. And then came the Bees. When the stories first started coming of the Bees, Atropy went straight to the local Buddhist temple and prayed to Manjushri, Fugen, and Kannon to gift her with bee - to allow her to step fully into this world that she had been dragged into.

and then it happened...
