## Character Description

### Physical Description

Holly has dark hair that falls just past her shoulders and wide eyes. She also has a beauty mark at the corner of her mouth (Ch 21). After the events of Nightmare Night Holly has a large burn scar on her right shoulder.

Holly is often featured wearing a dress or a blouse/skirt combo and a pearl necklace. She also wears a feather headpiece reminiscent of 1920's flappers.

When in her Cog!Holly form Holly physically looks virtually the same as her normal self. The only noticeable physical difference is the fact that her eyes have become completely black (Ch 90).

### Powers and Abilities

As well as her talent of a perfect memory, Holly has extensive knowledge of Rune magic which she has utilized multiple times throughout the series. One of the runes Holly most often uses is the Fade rune, in the form of a magic bracelet. This rune allows Holly to "fade" into the background, causing others to overlook her. Alice also notes that she can't sense Holly much when she uses this rune (Ch 138).

She is also well read on Micco culture and is able to translate Micco writing (Ch 51).

### Personality

Holly is a very curious person, somewhat notorious for asking a truly overwhelming amount of questions every chance she gets when faced with something new and interesting. This curiosity can even overwhelm any of the worry the danger of a given situation may cause, as shown when she continued to investigate the mob despite being just a college girl.

She always loves reading a good book and she's quite the smart and experimental girl. Once she was experimenting with runes and made Snowball (Inky Extras Ch 50). Another time, she made a map that showed all the angels in the area along with the fallen (Ch 129).

Since she has a perfect memory, she's very unlikely to forget things except for stuff that had happened far back during Nightmare Night because of the magical interference from The Cog. In Chapter 129, Alice also describes her as trustworthy.

After the rejection from Cuphead, she started to not worry about it and take care of herself instead of worrying about everything he said to her (Ch 290).

She thought about the trip that she was on with Felix and noticed that she had been acting silly and carefree which was not a normal thing for her, she hadn't been carefree ever since moving away from her home. She also could see straight through Cuphead's lie (Ch 291).
