Background

Molly Blyndeff is a beleaguered 12-year-old girl who runs a family toy store in place of her neglectful father and sister. She winds up getting locked in the Sweet Jazz City Museum after hours during a school trip and is promptly roped into an insane plot over a mysterious amulet with the power to steal people's epithets.

Her Epithet, "Dumb", can mute and/or simplify objects or people. This application may vary, from creating a bubble that prevents sound from traveling in or out, to lowering the damage of an attack, to actually making someone less intelligent.

In a song meant to represent her personality, due to the kids in her group project not helping her with the work at all having her go out of her way to get revenge even having thoughts of killing them but instead she goes for something so much worse by getting them expelled and having their GPAs tanked)

Threat Level At least Street Threat (Brendan Blaber stated that she is straight-up the smartest character in the show, and that she'd be extremely dangerous if she was a villain, which she was going down the line of becoming before she met with Giovanni Potage)

Powers and Techniques

Pierce Resistance (Standard Pierce Resistance; Bullets in the only deal minor impact damage to all users within the series), Consumption (Physical Consumption; Can eat screws and drink from pinecones to regain stamina and health), Situational Regeneration (High-Low; Characters regenerate after winning a battle. Giovannia could regenerate back his broken bones. Possibly Mid-Godly; Molly Blyndeff has an ability named "Hushabye" which dumbs down the opponent to nothing. She later got attacked by bears and when asked if she could erase the bears, she states that they would just come back after the fight. Since everyone instantly regenerates right after a fight in verse, the characters themselves should be able to come back from existence erasure), Supernatural Resilience (Mera's bones breaking were viewed as -1 damage this doesn't only apply to Mera as she broke Sylvie's ribs. It is stated by word of god that everyone in Epithet Erased functions under JRPG mechanics so even attacks that are greatly above them and should kill them can't, for example being shot in the head will not kill them, they are even described as "extremely hard to kill"), Restoration (After battles characters injuries, statuses, etcetera are normally undone, including acts such as de-aging a character, being reverted), Pain Tolerance (Characters in Epithet Erased are extremely hard to kill and can survive shots to the head along with taking attacks that break their bones without showing much harm from it), Limited Observation (Unconscious Manifestation; The reason epithets exist in the Epithet Erased universe is due to everyone speaking the same language, allowing the words of that language to manifest physically because everyone understands them).

Resistance to Age Manipulation (After a battle is over, affects such as Zora Salazar's ability to de-age a character, were reverted)

Accelerated Development (Battle & Training; Abilities; Continuous use of one's epithet will cause it to grow stronger), Aura (All epithet users have an aura around them)

Superhuman Physical Characteristics (Superhuman Speed), Gifted Intelligence (A smart young girl capable of instantly figuring out one's epithet and capable of manipulating people), Social Influencing (Was able to convince Sylvie into becoming his friend, was able to stall Mera long enough for Giovanni to attack. Shown and stated by Brendan that she'd be able to "weaponize her own cuteness" to make her not get killed in games and "sew the seeds of infighting" by saying very little), Limited Organic Manipulation (Indirectly creates the marshmallows in her hair), Pain Manipulation & Damage Reduction (Can dumb down pain even characters in verse that constantly feel pain no longer feel it after she dumbs it down), Mind Manipulation (Can turn one dumb and in the process make them believe they're an inanimate object like a car), Sound Manipulation (Can erase sound in her sound bubble making people unable to hear each other), Nothingness Manipulation (Molly can dumb things down into nothing), Conceptual Manipulation (Molly's epithet allows her to dumb everything down to nothing, including ideas, simplfying concepts and words), Portal Creation & Dimensional Travel (Can open portals and travel into Subjective Reality based worlds through touching the object outside of the world), Power Nullification (Molly with her dumb epithet can completely erase all magic and summons related to Subjective Reality).

Resistance to Law Manipulation (Molly's sister has the ability to create stories where she is the main character Molly uses her abilities to destroy her sister's creations, including her stories), Transmutation (Molly can use her dumb epithet to undo transmutations)

Notable Techniques

• Dumb: Her Epithet, "Dumb", can mute and/or simplify objects or people. This application may vary, from creating a bubble that prevents sound from traveling in or out, to lowering the damage of an attack, to actually making someone less intelligent.
  • Silencing: Molly is able to silence specific people and objects.
  • Silence Bubble: Creates a soundproof bubble around herself that mutes everything outside and inside.
    • Silent But Deadly: A combo technique she performs with Giovanni Potage, Deafening the opponent while Giovanni attacks from behind undetected.
  • Dumb Down:
    • Dumb Down Intelligence: Molly can use this to hypnotize people by reducing their intelligence, making them highly suggestible.
    • Dumb Down Attack/Pain: Reduces any pain she or others feel and reduces the amount of damage an attack can do. With this, she is able to create an aura of serenity to reduce a person's discomfort.
    • Hushabye: Dispels summoned objects/entities by "dumbing them down to nothing". Molly notes that she's only used it on small summons and that larger summons will reappear quickly after she uses it. Along with this, it's unknown if she can do this to humans.
  • Bear Paw/Brown Bear Paw: After being told by Giovanni to come up with a cool name for her attack, she was able to manipulate her dumb aura into a bear paw that cuts through space itself. She later calls it Brown Bear Paw so that Rick Shades can have the name Black Bear Paw.

Other

Standard Tactics

Molly initially doesn't believe her epithet can be used for attacks, more then likely due to her low self-esteem and confidence, though she has figured out she can use it to turn someone dumb, though she notes herself she's not really supposed to use it on people. This is further elaborated by Jello to be due to Molly associating "Dumb" with the inability to speak and thus she views it more as the ability to mute sounds. Due to her associating it with this, Molly normally uses her dumb epithet to create silence bubbles in order to speak with an ally, or to distract an enemy so an ally can get a sneak attack on them, though she has also used it to dumb down one's attack along with their pain. Against summoned objects or beings, Molly will use hushabye, dumbing the summon down to nothing, she will not try this on a human as she doesn't know if it would work on them. Overall, Molly's tactics during season 1 greatly work off her low self-esteem and self-confidence, requiring an ally to help her fight against opponents, where they implement attacks while she uses her dumb epithet and observational skills to find a weakness to the enemy, stop/weaken attacks, or exploit a sneak attack on the opponent from an unsuspecting ally.

During Prison of Plastic, Molly has gained more confidence, gaining more abilities for her dumb epithet, such as making a "dumb" aura around her hands that she calls "Brown Bear Paw". Though from her perspective a lot of her newer attacks are only useful in summoned worlds like her sisters.

Weaknesses

• Standard Weaknesses: Epithet users abilities rely solely on how they associate the word, this could hinder them as they may have a far more limited aspect to a word that has thousands of applications. Epithets are directly attached to an inscribed persons soul, thus any effect to their soul could by proxy affect their ability.
• Unique Weaknesses: Doesn't know the full extent of her dumb powers, doesn't know if hushaby works on humans, and it cannot work on bigger and stronger animals. She is also naturally not a combat fighter usually requiring help from others to beat an opponent. She has intense pyrophobia. Along with this, Molly has misophonia.

Note: The Among Us gag is non-canon though Brendan specifically states in the tweet how it would go if they actually did this, thus it's useable for what Molly can do.

Note 2: During Prison of Plastic Molly notes that her powers only really work so well in her sister's world, this is most likely due to the fact that she isn't fully aware of what she could do with her Dumb epithet, as shown during the scene where Molly uses "Hushabye", Giovani asks if she can do that to real people and she replies that she doesn't know. The other possibility is that her creativity and proficeny stats aren't high enough.

Miscellaneous Feats

• Molly is noted to be the smartest character out of the season 1 cast, being smart in all categories.

As it's noted that characters in Epithet Erased are extremely hard to kill and can survive things far above their level, with Molly being an example of this as she tanked a hit from Doctor Beefton.

• Sylvester Ashling - Full Fight
  • Conditions: Molly had help from Giovanni Potage.
  • Location: Sweet Jazz Museum
  • Timeframe: Middle to the End of Episode 2, Beginning of Episode 3.
  • Note: It's very likely Molly would've lost this without Givoanni's help as there's several times where his assitance saved her, such as when Giovanni used his soup aura to blow away Sylvester's sleep powder, or when Sylvester used nightmare fuel on Molly releasing her fear of fires, and Giovanni got her out of the fire circle. Though her epithet and observation did also contribute to the fight.

• Indus Tarbella - Fight
  • Conditions: Molly needed to escape Indus who was trying to chase after her and bring her to Mera Salamin, with her outsmarting him, and Indus getting himself arrested by the police.
