Holly Troy is a 2023-introduced and all-around/fiction-only character.

In the destiny conflict, she is on the Rebel Side, since she doesn't want the same fate as her mother.

## Character

### **Personality**

Holly is a kind and charming girl with a sarcastic/emo streak. But due to years of torment, she has trust issues because of what her so-called "lover" did to her. Despite being the daughter of the Face that Launched a Thousand Ships, Holly is humble, hard-working, and doesn't care much about looks; she feels that beauty is truly a curse. She is also shown to be very cunning and strategic in combat. She is also shown to have Androphobia or a fear of men because of all the trauma she endured. The trauma led to her joining the Hunters of Artemis. She is also very empathetic, able to comfort and relate to her fellow heroes because of all that they had to survive through. While she loved her mother, Helen, and her father, Menelaus, she is glad she joined the Hunters of Artemis and is happy where she is now feeling accepted by the hunters and campers. She also recognizes that many people have gone through their trauma, such as her pseudo sister Melody. She's quite calming to be around as she has a thing for knowing people's emotions, such as she can tell when you're feeling depressed, pissed, etc. and knows the perfect way to react to them, most of the time. In general, Holly has a tomboyish persona. She can be extremely talkative sometimes and she babbles often about something that relates to paranormal activity such as the Supernatural show. She's adventurous, daring, and always head-on. She has this notion of, "I act before I think." Rooted in her father’s nature of being a soldier, she loves sparing and using her weapons, one thing that's weird about her, despite her outgoing and daring nature, she likes darkness. She hates the sunlight to be exact and claims it to be "Blinding." She is sweet, intelligent, joyful and charismatic. Holly can get along with people she just met. Holly love to play prank and jokes on her enemies.

She rarely get angry and often hold back, but when she unleash it. She can become dangerous. She also let her imagination run wild, quickly jumping into conclusions and creating all sorts of scenarios before she receives all the facts. Holly certainly is courageous and brave like her namesake (mostly the latter quality), the word ’Brave’. It means ‘strong in the face of fear’, a phrase that certainly describes Holly. She certainly will stand firm in the face of danger for those that she cares about, proving that her fatal flaw is loyalty, but never acknowledges this fact. This loyalty may drive her to a form of recklessness derived from concern, though Holly can maintain a level of control to a certain degree. If not, anyone as a hostile party might be caught in the crossfire and it will not be pretty for both sides. She is shown to be a good leader, and wishes her step-father and mother could have loved her, maybe then she would have been a good queen... Holly can’t have a heart after new things or even danger without being adventurous. Like her friends, she’s very much open to trying new things but even more so than her brother. In new hobbies and interests that are difficult to learn or achieve, she has a never-say-die attitude towards them (unlike ahem, her brother and unlike ahem, the driver). In whatever context of life, she is determined to pull through whatever trouble and this indomitable and fierce trait is something that many people admire her for. Holly's combative lifestyle is something that normal princesses love to gossip about and something princes are wary of. She’s a go-getter; always ready to do things instead of just thinking about them. She believes in *action* and not *consequences*, and can be very rash and hasty when it comes to handling certain matters or making important decisions. However, every decision that she makes is very much a well-meaning one. She keeps in mind her friends' best interests at heart, caring a lot for those she considers close friends.

### **Appearance**

Holly is described as being almost as beautiful as her mother. Holly has her mother's light skin, strawberry blonde hair (which is a mix of her father's auburn hair and her mothers blonde hair) and purple eyes, and she as many scars on her body from Andres' abuse. As a hunter of Artemis, She wears a white shirt, a silver jacket, silvery camo pants, a circlet, and black combat boots, when not with the hunters, she also a pink shirt that says “Girl Power” in black cursive writing, a jean jacket, black leggings, and gray converse

## Relationships

### **Family**

#### Helen of Troy (Mother)

Growing up, Holly was very close with her mother, though she disapproved of Holly using any weapons. Holly feels guilty for not telling her mother was was happening with Andres, and often thinks about what would have happened if she *did* tell her. Holly also some times regrets becoming immortal since it meant she had to leave her family behind. She misses her mother, but knows she's in the underworld, at peace (Hopefully)

#### Menelaus (Father)

Holly was also very close to her father growing up. She greatly admires her father and, when she was younger, wanted to be a great ruler like he was. She loved to hear about how bravely he fought in the Trojan War. Unlike Helen, Menelaus approved of Holly using weapons, wanting her to be a skilled fighter just in case she had to defend Sparta from any threats. She misses her father but knows he's in the underworld with her mother

#### Elias (Twin brother)

Elias is Holly's twin brother, and the older of the two. Much like most siblings they fought with each other, but underneath all the fighting, they truly loved each other. Elias is protective of Holly and was the first person to suspect something was going on with Holly's former lover, Andres. Once Elias soon found about what Andres was doing to Holly (being horribly abusive to her), his sister begged him not to tell their parents, fearing what would happen to both her and Andres. Elias reluctantly agreed to keep quite. One day, a few days after their sixteenth birthday, Elias caught Andres abusing his sister and in a moment of protection and rage, Elias pulled out a sword and killed Andres. When Holly joined the Hunters of Artemis at the age of 17, she asked Artemis to make him immortal as well, which Artemis agreed so, seeing as Elias was so protective of Holly and earned her respect.

### **Friends**

#### The UnderSquad

She generally holds strong friendships with all of her fellow heroes especially with her best friends Andromeda and Cressida. Though she is scared of men and boys due to what happened, she has more than a few guy-friends, and is on good terms with most of them. She genuinely loves and cares about all of them even to risk it all helping them in battle

### **Romance**

When Holly was around fourteen years old, she found a lover in a man by the name of Andres, the son of one of the guards. Helen and Menelaus both liked Andres and saw him as a fit partner for Holly, but Elias was wary of Andres, being very protective of his twin sister. Holly initially liked him two, but things would soon take a dark turn behind closed doors. Whenever Holly was alone with Andres, he was very abusive. He would abusive Holly verbally, physically, and sexually. Normally, Holly could at least put ups some sort of fight, but Andres was more powerful. On multiple occasions, Andres had forced himself onto Holly, which would result in the cost her health and she was forced to have multiple abortions. But she did attempt to give birth one, but it was unsuccessful as Andres intercepted and the baby was born dead (the only reason her parents never found out about Holly's pregnancies was because Andres was skilled with magic and used an illusion to make Holly appear not pregnant). Elias soon found about what Andres was doing to Holly, but his sister begged him not to tell their parents, fearing what would happen to both her and Andres. Elias reluctantly agreed to keep quite. One day, a few days after their sixteenth birthday, Elias caught Andres abusing his sister and in a moment of protection and rage, Elias pulled out a sword and killed Andres. Once realizing what he did, both he and Holly hid the body, by throwing it into the ocean... The twins agreed never to tell their parents of what happened, coming up with a lie that Andres had killed himself.
