History:
Holland spent the majority of her life competing for her father attention. Seeking approval but forever being outdone by her younger sister. See, ever since her mother died her father had hidden himself away, burying himself under work, trying to destract himself from the hole in his life his wife left. And both Holland and her sister, Lily had tried to fill it. Both of them forever trying to make him smile, the only problem was Lily was always better at it. Lily done ballet, her father was so proud, Holland hated ballet but could play bass, her father disliked the music that Hol would try and copy, Lily would sing old Beatles songs and have her father chuckle, he didn't smile so much when Holland was in her room thrashing out Iron Maiden. And that's how it had been since their mother passed away when Hollan was fifteen. But after trying to so hard to please everyone else she gave up on the idea, why make yourself unhappy for someone else? So she said 'screw it'. By the time she was seventeen she was much happier. She had dropped the facade and the idea that she had to replace her mother and take care of her father. She was still a kid! She had her own issues to deal with let alone caring for a forty year old man who could do this himself.
So Hol started hanging out with the more 'metal' kids at school, started going to gigs and generally just having a good time. It was around that time that she discovered the one thing she could excell in: singing. It was discovered when one night while hanging out with a group of her stoner friends that she was singing along to one of the songs, when the power went out she kept on singing, oblivious. Her friends were all surprised and told her she was good, surprised that the grungey girl who wore her boyfriends clothes could sing like that. But she could. That inspired her, she had always enjoyed singing and putting on a show, maybe this is what she could do? Maybe she could make a living from that skill? It was worth a shot. She managed to get in to a band her friends sister had, which though she didn't stick with gave her more confidence in herself and helped her practise. It did renew her interest in life, though she made it through her senior year of high school, much to her fathers surprise, she didn't go on to college. Instead she started a band.
And so this is where it's brought her, she's just turned nineteen she still has her band. And, with the little money she has made over the past few years she's getting by. Who needs her daddys wallet and her pain in the ass sister? She sure as hell doesn't. Especially since her father disowned her for 'wasting her life', so in true teenage rebel style, Holland has said.. Well, I shouldn't really write down what she said, let's just say it wasn't nice and was more or less 'eff yew'. But she's really proving him wrong, her current band is going well and strong ans she's having the god damn time of her life. Hello fame and fortune, goodbye unsupportive family.
Personality:
Holly is a very friendly person, though she isn't as outgoing as you'd think. She's somewhat shy and reserved to be honest, the only time she becomes truly outgoing is when she's on stage or once she's had a few drinks. Don't get me wrong, she is actually quite confident in herself but never to the point of arrogance. She just won't crumble if someone speaks to her or opposes her opinions. Which she does have a lot of and will argue with you about if she has strong feelings on them. This all really means that she easily make friends and maintains those relationships, replacing what she lacks in blood relationships with platonic ones.
She does enjoy romantic relationships, enjoying the feeling of being close to someone but does not need these relationships to validate herself. She does well on her own and sometimes prefers it that way. An example of this is that she recently broke up with her boyfriend of three years as they had grown apart, but far from wallowing in self pity and basking in despair she looks on it as an experience to learn from, knowing what parts to improve on in future relationships. So in that respect she does belive in the phrase 'what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.' Though she also believes in fate and is sure that all things happen for a reason. Believing that one day she will meet the person she will spend the rest of her life with. Also the term 'bros before hos' is one she likes to think she lives by. Aha.
Outside of her music and friendships, Holland loves nothing more than a good book. She is very intelligent and excells when it comes to general knowledge, she is like a spong when it comes to certain pieces of knowledge, such as history. It was thanks to her sponge like quality that she also absorbed the language of her fathers side of the family: Russian. So I think a general sum of her overall personality would be good now, she is: friendly, somewhat shy, a little reserved at times, generally confident in herself, opinionated, enjoys close relationships, though is independant, intelligent, loyal and a knowledge sponge. I think that can give you a pretty good insight in to her psyche.
