Molly Jo is a secondary character from the Disney Channel animated series Amphibia.
Background[]
Personality[]
Molly Jo is a nice girl with an appreciation for those who do the right thing. She was quick to befriend the new local hero "Frog-Man" (actually Sprig Plantar) after seeing him save several people, including herself, from a bus accident. However, the thing she hates the most is glory hounds who put lives in danger for the sake of attention, as seen when she reprimanded Sprig and her grandfather, Robert Otto, for fighting and putting the city at risk to get attention. She can also be forgiving if people make up for their mistakes, such as when she reconciled with Sprig after he and Otto repaired the damage they caused.
She is also loyal to her friends, as seen when she choose to save Sprig from an FBI bade even after learning he is a frog from another dimension and that saving him would involve getting in problems with the federal government. She is also as friendly with Sprig as before.
Physical appearance[]
Molly Jo is a young human girl slightly than Sprig, with waist long blonde hair dyed pink on her left side and light green on the bottom. Her outfit consists of a white t-shirt with a brown sweater vest, a green skit, black leggings, and dark blue-gray boots with spikes on the back, as well as toes, stars, and stud-like buttons all of them colored in black. She also wears in her right wrist a spiked bracelet, and a black shoulder bag that has on it the image of a hot pink cat.
Role in the series[]
In "Spider-Sprig", Molly Jo first appears riding on a school bus when it suddenly loses its brakes and starts careening down the streets out of control. Her grandfather, Otto tries to stop the bus, but a superhero named "Frog-Man" manages to catch the bus and rescue everyone in time, including Molly and Otto. She thanks Frog-Man for saving her, much to her grandpa's jealousy.
Shortly later, Molly Jo is caught in the middle of the fight between Frog-Man and his grandpa Otto, who was using a powerful robotic arm, and confronts the two over how foolish to be influenced by their egos while showing them the damage they caused to the city. After the two clean up the mess they made, Molly Jo forgives Frog-Man and her grandpa, with her and Frog-Man becoming being friends. When she asks if she can see his face, he refuses, saying it would "give her nightmares", later using his tongue to go off into the sunset. After Frog-Man leaves, her grandpa Otto is arrested because of the damage he caused before.
Sometime later, Molly Jo was called by Anne when the Plantars were kidnapped by Mr. X and the FBI. Molly Jo met up with Anne and her parents at a warehouse along with Ally and Jess, Humphrey Westwood, and two women from the Thai Community where she learned that the Plantars were frogs from another world. Though Molly Jo was surprised to learn that Frogman was a frog she agrees to help save them. Molly Jo, Anne, Anne's parents, Ally, Jesse, Dr. Jan, Terri, Humphrey, and the Thai women head to the FBI base to rescue the Plantars. During the rescue, she planted Panda-Tron on the computer in order to give the Thai Women access to enter the base.
Trivia[]
- The character is inspired by Mary Jane Watson, from the Spider-Man comics. Her initials are even "MJ", which is one of the character's nicknames.
- She also has a blonde hair, similar to Gwen Stacy, albeit Molly Jo's is dyed with pink and green colorations. However, Gwen Stacy also has her blonde hair dyed with pink colorations at times.
- Additionally, she is the granddaughter of Robert Otto, who became an enemy of Sprig's in his "Frog-Man" identity. This is similar to how Harry Osborn is the son of Spider-Man's archnemesis, the Green Goblin.
- At first glance, Molly looks a bit like Sasha, but with dyed pink and green highlights in her hair.
