Molly symbolizes joy, energy and laughter.
I wanted her to be wearing a yellow dress because the colour yellow symbolizes happiness and life. When she bursts into the room it’s like a ray of sunlight shining on Rosie and she can’t help but feel warm and loved.
In the second Scene I chose the song here comes the sun By the Beatles to play hoping it might have some reference later on.
Molly looks up to Rosie and wants to be like her. She loves going into her room showing of her outfits and looking in her mirror and messing with her big sisters sprays.
When they wore younger they used to play together all the time. But when Rosie started secondary school and started having exams Molly notice something change so her little out-burst of hers means she wants attention and wants to play with Rosie again.
Rosie’s bad mood and depression is like the winter its only temporary and wont last forever. Molly’s the sunshine that brightens the world and makes everything grow and brighten and brings joy to people.

Good to see you deepening the supporting roles here, Poppy – understanding the transience of emotion and the acceptance of that from Rosie’s perspective. Good insight into what makes Molly an energetic force. The connection that a character has with others tells us so much about them. You’re using these character exercises really well. Keep going.
