Molly Lives here. Best School Mascot EVER!

Molly lives in a enclosed pen on the school property and while it is fenced in, she's figured out how to open the lock and tends to give her self walks around town.

• The Mastodon House is a building the clone sisters built for her- painted white and looking very much like a doll house with an oversized front door. Inside is enough space for her to lie down, a stack of hay bales, a hammock the clones added, and a small sink and counter top used for food prep. Below are some cupboards for storing things like Molly's shampoo and flea-dip. In the back is a small add-on bedroom, for when one of the clones wants to sleep over. Eathan the former EBI groundskeeper stayed there for some time, now Fleabelly is sleeping there. Her round the clock companion is a tiny grey tabby cat Molly found under a dumpster and rescued named Dingo.
  
• Outside is a hose, a closet for shovels and brooms, a water trough and a broad even stretch of grass. The clones sewed several second-hand quilts together to give Molly some blankets and barding for cold weather. They also made her a howdah for people to ride in, but Molly, perhaps understandably, isn't fond of it.
  
• Molly is the school mascot and can bee seen at sporting events or other school activities. She can be very loud cheering for her team!
  

• Molly's food is delivered in partnership with the Detroit Zoo, and they visit her now and then to study her. On rare occasions she has been moved to the Zoo's elephant paddock for observation. One other Mastodon shares the paddock, "Sadie" who was lost in time.
  

Molly has lots of friends! Like Dingo the cat and Fleabelly and Atlus, Bringer of Food! But not all those bad people.

Molly is generally quite amiable in her nature and friendly with all... until you make her angry. Threaten her friends, her cat or her food, in roughly that order and you will regret it!

• She considers the clone sisters as her herd-mates and spends quite a bit of time with them. She did not like them adding purple dye to her shampoo one time, and was quite unimpressed when she turned fuchsia.
• She found both Fleabelly and Dingo in alleys nearby and brought them both home, Flea to stay and go to school, Dingo to solve the mouse-and-squirrel problem that occasionally infests her pen every fall. She is of the opinion that Flea gives excellent scratches!
• She has a fondness for AtlusBot the "Bringer of Food" who worked for a time at EBI in the flight simulator room. Even though he himself did not eat, he made sure to bring her a little something now and then.
• Brother Ignatious is a Jesuit monk who maintains the EBI chapel. He grows roses on the grounds and bribes Molly with pineapples [Her Favorite!] not to graze on them.
• Chevalier is the school chef and one of the men responsible for bringing Molly to the school. He is somewhat possessive of her, even though he says she is the clone's charge. He makes sure her food shipments arrive on time and the quality is good and occasionally lets her filch a head of lettuce from the open window of the Kitchens when she is passing by in the alley. She thinks stealing his hat and wearing it around town is a fine joke.

She will steal your hat! She will steal your lunch! She loves pineapples! She regularly visits the grocery store to buy catfood... She also writes better then her "herdmates' the clone sisters.

• Molly loves to hug: a habit that can be quite disconcerting given the enormous size of her tusks! She does this by wrapping her prehensile trunk around the hug-ee.
• Molly gets annoyed when you call her a Mammoth- she knows she is a mastodon. The clones will give a rambling disposition of the differences between the two if prompted.
• Molly is not only a cloned mastodon but she is quite smart and is capable or both reading and writing- a fact the East Briar teachers hold over the clones when they do poorly in class. Her writing is very clumsy, given she uses her trunk, but legible and she can usually get her point across.
• In addition to the usual range of rumbles, honks and trumpets she communicates with body language- her trunk, ears, stance and so forth. In these matters she behaves quite a bit like the Asian elephants she resembles.
• She has been trained as a war-mount and is not afraid of guns. She has no special armour or shielding and can be injured by them. Please do not shoot the Mastodon!
• Molly has a bad habit of strolling off to buy Dingo some catfood. She will head to the nearest grocery store, tap on the door and give the manager her shopping list and some bills. She will count the change before heading back.
• She will also let herself out to have a mud bath under the Red Bridge, a swim, or to graze on shrubbery nearby after dark. She's accidently frightened several people in doing so!
• Molly loves to play Frisbee! She has several of them but her favorite is a glow-in-the-dark Frisbee that she brings to Psi Park now and then. If no one else wants to throw for her, she'll fling it to chase by herself.
• Molly once "Borrowed" a baby carrage while the mother was distracted by her cel phone. After that, the clones got her a pram and a mammoth plushie that fits inside it and Molly happily strolls up and down the block pushing "Junior".

Molly is a clone, the men who created her are in prison. She was trained to be a War-mount for a man who sought to liberate Canada from the Spanish invaders! She was rescued and sent to East Briar Institute to become their school mascot, in partnership with the Detroit Zoo.

Molly has been kidnapped twice, gone to stay at a petting zoo in Upper Michigan, participated in several holiday parades and is a local fixture on the lawns by the Big Red Bridge. She has helped the MCPD on several occasions, helping stop crooks and muggers and once leading them to a DEMON cult meeting!
