## History

### Early Life

Holly and Elias Troy were born to Helen of Troy, Queen of Sparta and Menelaus, King of Sparta, only a few weeks after the fall of Troy in Sparta, Greece. When their parents were reunited with each other, they ended up in bed with one another and Helen ended up pregnant. At first, the couple were only expecting to have one child, but were surprised when they had twins; a boy and a girl. The boy was named Elias, while the girl was named Holly.

### Childhood

Holly and her brother were raised as most royals. They were respected as the Prince and Princess of Sparta, but were also generally good hearted people. Like most siblings, they bantered with each other, but where also very close to each other. Holly and Elias often trained along side some of the guards, and both became very skilled fighters, though their mother disapproved of them (mainly Holly) fighting with such dangerous weapons at a young age (say 12 or 13). 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

### 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

### Joining the Hunters and life afterwards

By the time Holly was seventeen years old, Holly prayed to the goddess Artemis to join her hunt. Holly was afraid of what kind of abuse she would have to endure if she ever became queen and was married. Artemis answered Holly's and her a huntress of Artemis. Holly also requested that Elias be made immortal as well, as he had been nothing but kind and loving to his siter. Artemis, seeing how much the sibling loved each other, gave into Holly's wishes and Elias was also made immortal. Holly, for the first few years with the hunters, was scared and quite, worried something would happen, but as the months and years went by, nothing did happen Holly would soon meet her friends Andromeda Trojan (along with her brother Theodosius) and Cressida Priestess who joined the same year as her.

During her time with the hunters, Holly would learn many different skills and see the world evolve. She would meet hunters like Zoe Potvin, in 1756, who explained she joined after losing her husband and her twin daughters Anne and Estelle. Holly, Elias, Theo, Andromeda, and Cressida grew to love Zoe as a mother, which Zoe returned to the teens, seeing the them as her children. In 1848, When Zoe began to start Camp Olympia (a fear years after Big Bear was founded), Holly missed her, but she and the other hunters continued to go hunting. She and the other huntress would meet Zamaya Reynoso, Melody Potvin and Andrew James, who Zamaya would later offend since she chose to go with her friends. Holly loved her life with the hunters, but Holly, when meeting Zamaya again, she was surprised to see Zamaya joining the Hunters. Holly was also upset to learn the hunters died, such as Helen Gonzales, Loretta Potvin, and Astra Stardust. Holly and Elais soon came to camp with Andromeda, Theo, and Cressida, preferring to stay with Cabin Mythology, but with the hunters. Holly also asks Esperanza to merge the scraps of her father's armor into her weapon so he would always be there with her in combat.

## 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.

### Fatal flaw

Holly's fatal flaw is her trust issues, especially to boys. Because being hurt so much as a child, she closes herself off from people due to this fear. Over time, she has learned that many people are awful, but she knows who her family is, her 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 his father's auburn hair and his 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

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.
