Character
Holly is rough and believes in survival of the fittest. If someone dies, well, they weren't strong enough to live. As such, she is merciless and shows little interest in sparing any that go against her or her leader.

Holly is horribly manipulative and uses this to get power. She will take advantage of any situation so long as it gets her power. Eventually, she ends up as Blood's deputy. She becomes his war advisor, having a tactful mind and strategic motives.

Holly's motive eventually becomes "find anything that will benefit my leader, Blood, and I". She never questions Blood's orders and feels no remorse if it kills her entire Colony. However, this shows that she would rather follow the crowd instead of becoming her own self and accepting consequences.

Holly hates Wildwish. HATES Wildwish. As such, she never listens to Wildwish when she tries to console her in her dreams, and makes it a goal to thoroughly thwart her plan by trying to manipulate Menessi.

She talks really particulately and with a slight accent (from when she used to live in the mountains). Holly uses her extensive vocabulary to pick on others, and frequently uses the word 'audacity'.

Likes: Power, blood, fighting, war, praise

Dislikes: Wildwish, questions of her power, whining, pity

Fighting and Mentorship
Technique: Hit hard and first, think later. Holly truly does not care about how others feel or how they go down, so long as they do. As such, she fights dirty, but she also can hit deathblows like a pro from her days as an assassin. She can take a lot of hits, but mostly feigns defeat to trick others or make them feel bad.

Influence: None really, besides her own motives. Her assassin days could have become an influence in how she knows bleeding points and how to stalk efficiently.

Mentors: She mostly taught herself, but Blood helped her in some ways by teaching her how the Colony cats fought in relation to the mountain cats.

Family
Mother: Unknown

Father: Unknown

Past Mate: Birch

Symbolism
Character: Holly is the Third of Wildwish's split lives. She carries Wildwish's ambition.

Design: The red accents obviously represent blood.

The scar is self-inflicted to represent how Holly will do anything to show her power (here she is showing that she deserves the power as the Third, even if she won't abide to Wildwish or the others).

Her ears, which are slightly turned inward, slightly look like Devil's horns.

Lastly, her eyes are red to represent the phrase, "Eyes red with bloodlust".
