Molly O’Donnell is an Irish grappler born to a poor family, growing up as an only child with a less-than-ideal home life. Her father, Seamus O’Donnell, could only really understand her through the lens of fighting- passing down his talent for traditional Irish wrestling was the only kindness he ever gave. Like with most troubled young people, martial arts were a way for her to channel her pent-up anger into something constructive rather than destructive. Molly was the star of her high school wrestling team, but her career took a wild turn after graduation. Sick of Irish wrestling- and Ireland in general- she moved to England and spent a few years aimless before finding a new calling- Sumo. The UK Sumo Association offered a way for her to keep fighting in the sport she loved, without any influences from the father she hated.

Molly fell deep into the Sumo rabbit hole, finding both escapism and purpose in the sport’s more spiritual and traditional side. She adapted to its unique rules and limitations easily, developing an aggressive style focusing on explosive throws and leg-based techniques- a particular strength from her Irish wrestling roots. It didn’t take long for her to start competing in the UK Open tournaments- in the women’s division at first, then moving into full mixed wrestling against the men. With every tournament Molly entered, her performance continued to improve- some even joking that she’d be the first Irishwoman to make Yokozuna (the highest rank in Sumo).

But nothing good can last forever. Molly was 27 when she finally took home a complete tournament win. It seemed like all of her sumo dreams were becoming reality- the winner of the UK Open would get to go to Japan and compete against the sumo legends. But, the Japanese Sumo Association turned her down. Some say it was because she was a woman, or because she wasn’t Japanese, or simply because of her aggressive behavior in and out of the ring. Molly’s exclusion from the highest level of her chosen art was the first blow to her- the second was when news of her father’s death reached her. She didn’t know whether to celebrate or mourn. With her dream shattered and her emotions running high, she nonetheless entered into another tournament. Everything went wrong in a match against another wrestler, one who Molly had developed a rivalry with. The bouts leading up to their match were intense, and as the two stared each other down in the ring, emotions ran hot. The two wrestlers slammed into each other again and again, each collision more brutal than the last, until Molly eventually just…. broke. What should have been a standard palm thrust technique turned into a closed-fist haymaker against an already-battered opponent. Molly’s rival collapsed, unconscious, but there was no victory for her. No victory for anyone, as he later succumbed to his injuries and died in the hospital. Molly was permanently banned from competing in the UK, even after being acquitted of the possible murder charge.

With nothing left, she returned to Ireland again, either to move past her grief or drown it in booze. Though she swore to never strike another person with a fist again, in time she would slowly begin to return to fighting, this time at [INSERT THE GYM THAT THE MAIN CHARACTERS ALL GO TO] in America, and slowly turn her life around- however long it takes.

THE MOVESET

Versatile, offense-focused rushdown and grappler. Importantly, she doesn’t punch - all of her arm-based strikes are either open-handed or elbows.

Flying Mare - Her standard grab, where Molly flips the opponent over her back, and sending their feet flying over their head.

Hatakikomi - A counter move against whiffed punches or throws, Molly slaps the opponents head or back downward, sending them onto the ground.

Car Bomb - A command grab where Molly grabs her opponent’s front leg with one hand and shoves their body back with the other, flipping them onto their back. If used to counter a whiffed or blocked kick move, it deals more damage.

Tachi-ai - Molly crouches down into all fours in a sumo start stance, letting her duck under some high attacks and letting her use one of three different moves.

Forearm Shiver - From her Tachi-ai stance, Molly launches herself forward and smashes her forearm and elbow into the opponent. Unlike the standard sumo forearm charge, Molly swings her elbow at a downward angle, making the attack an overhead.

Irish Cross - From her Tachi-ai stance, Molly steps forward and hits her opponent with a powerful horizontal palm strike.

Republic Knee - Molly charges forward, driving a knee strike into her enemy and sending them flying. This move can be performed normally or from Tachi-ai, with the latter coming out faster.

Fallen Republic Knee - Similar to the normal version, but as a downward drop attack instead of a forward charge. Basically the People’s Elbow but with a leg instead of arm. Deals more damage to enemies if they’re laying on the ground.

Shepherd’s Crook - Molly throws a low kick. If it connects, she hooks her foot around the enemy’s front ankle and pulls it forward, putting her foe off balance and yanking them toward herself, where she can follow up with a combo.

Ascended Shepherd’s Crook - Molly kicks upward to hit an airborne enemy. If she does, she hooks her foot around them and slams them to the ground.

Bed of Roses - Molly grabs the opponent and hits them with a cross palm to one ear, then the other. She finishes the move by spinning the opponent around and tripping them backwards over her leg.

Bed of Nails - Molly grabs the opponent and pulls them into a powerful knee strike into their stomach, followed by another. As the foe kneels down in pain, she uses their leg as a springboard to lift herself up and kick them in the head. Bed of Roses and Bed of Nails share the same startup animation, but require different inputs to break, so they can be used as a 50/50 mixup.

Pub Stomp - Molly launches a powerful low kick into the enemy’s leg. If used on a floored opponent, she instead kicks them in the side and sends them flying back, causing extra damage.

SUPER MOVES

Withershins - Molly grabs her opponent in a collar and elbow grip and kicks low, striking her enemy’s shin and unbalancing them. A second kick to the knee of the same leg knocks it out out from under them, and Molly finishes the combo with a big, charged up drop kick with both feet that blasts the opponent across the screen and leaves both combatants prone.

The Troubles - Molly lunges forward with a double palm shove, staggering her opponent. She uses the opening to get a Mawashi belt grip on them, lifting them up off the ground and then throwing them down hard enough that they bounce back up. She hits the bouncing opponent back down with a charging forearm shiver, and finishes with an elbow drop as they hit the ground again.

Parting Glass - TBD
