Molly Kincaid was an Irish suffragette, union organizer and stowaway aboard the RMS Titanic.
Biography[]
Molly Kincaid was first discovered by Indiana Jones hiding in one of the RMS Titanic's lifeboats after departure from Southampton. She initially claimed to be a runaway maid fleeing mistreatment in London, but Indy soon discovered that she was actually a passionate Irish suffragette and union organizer, traveling with her companion Charlie, whom she first introduced as her younger brother. Charlie, however, was more of a comrade than a sibling, aiding Molly in her political work and helping her avoid detection aboard the Titanic.[1]
To move freely between decks, Molly disguised herself as a man, donning rough clothes and a cap to pass as a third-class passenger or crew member. Her disguise allowed her to carry messages and pamphlets in support of women's suffrage and workers' rights. She sought to rally immigrants and laborers in steerage, introducing Indy to her wider cause.[1]
In third class, Molly introduced Indy to Pat Leary, an Irish nationalist who shared her revolutionary leanings but favored more violent action. Pat's militancy alarmed Indy, who realized Molly sometimes found herself caught between moderate activism and extremist tactics. While she admired Pat’s passion, she argued for organizing and education rather than sabotage or bloodshed.[1]
Molly's friendship with Indy grew as they uncovered hints of a German sabotage plot aboard the Titanic. On the night of April 14, after the Titanic struck the iceberg, Molly initially rushed to notify the women in the third-class cabins in the stern, fearing that unlike the men in the bow of the ship, they'd have no idea what's going on. Molly later helped Indy and Miss Helen Margaret Seymour toward the lifeboats.[1]
As the evacuation turned increasingly chaotic, the officers instructed "women and children first". Indy insisted that Molly take a seat in the lifeboat, arguing that as a woman she had priority. Molly refused, declaring that as Indy was still a child and therefore had the greater right to survival. Indy protested and insisted that she should go and that he would remain behind with the men, but Molly ended the debate by punching Indy square in face and knocking him out. When Indy regained consciousness, he was in the lifeboat looking up at the stars, surrounded by Molly, Miss Seymour and the other women and children.[1]
Personality and traits[]
Molly Kincaid was slender and tall, like "six feet at least", with long hair, an arm "as strong as whipcord" with the ability to "hear like a cat".[1]
