This got very long but really asking for something that’s specific but really open to interpretation and what to do with it.
There are some stories were Molly is referred to as a Goldfish want the opposite. Molly is Mycroft level intelligent but at some point in her life she decided she’d rather be underestimated and left alone to do her own thing than deal with the frustration of dealing with people that seemed so slow to her.
Right from the start when she first met Sherlock she summed him up and the last thing see wanted was to be interesting so she faked her crush on him pretending to be as annoying and typical as anyone else, Wanted to stab Moriarty for been obvious and stupid while pretending to be Brooke, Tom was practically dumb if sweet.
Day by day she loves the calm steady of the morgue, doing her own research and watching Sherlock play his games doing something small and unnoticed to help when it goes too far.
Bonus Molly/Mycroft friendship or pairing but doesn’t really matter as not main point.
Part the reason she made the choice to be underestimated is that she met Mycroft before at some point in her life, child, teenager, adult, or someone was putting a bit of pressure for her to go into politics instead of medical.
Irene Adler saw through Molly’s disguise and gave a similar analyse that she gave Sherlock about his Vicar costume.
She is to research as Mycroft is to the government publishing under a pseudonym, Sherlock is fanboy.
Molly is even more like Mycroft in that she has a younger sibling who is a mathematical genius that is a fangirl/boy of Mrs Holmes who says off hand to someone that Molly’s the smart one, making the person reconsider her.
Molly is not a Goldfish
