Meet Molly Mink!
Alliteration; I had to exploit it. 👌
Molly’s an American sea mink who lives on the mainland near the docks with her family where King Dice’s father works. Her father ( Martin ) makes mink oil and she sells it to the locals around the docks who need it to waterproof their wares.
One day, Molly came across Kacey ( King Dice’s older brother ) who works the docks with his father ( Daniel ) and is a bootblack in his spare time. Due to the nature of her selling mink oil and Kacey shinning shoes, they became an inseparable pair.
Despite the mutual financial favor, Molly’s father disliked her association with Kacey. This was on account of his species having a negative reputation of being “weasely”. He feared her association with a people considered “frivolous and high stakes” would further damage them. In an attempt to save face, he demanded their relationship be “transactional only”.
This demand however was often ignored as the two quickly realized they had a connection beyond their business benefits. It was not uncommon for the two to sneak away and play together, although her brother ( Michael ) often kept an eye on her, keeping her relationship with Kacey a secret.
Molly was shaken by the murder of Kacey and her father allowed her no room to breathe. She would eventually marry Orville Otter, the son of Omar Otter, and inherit the family’s profitable careening business.
Molly and Orville would have three children. Two were otters and one was a mostly white piebald mink with distinct spots. Out of kindness, Orville allowed Molly to name him “Kacey” out of respect for her friend and first love.
Molly’s favorite color was yellow and she had an affinity for pansies. She also has ADHD.
For those curious, Harley’s a hare and Kacey’s friend. More can be read about Kacey and King Dice’s friends here.
