She was, however, graced with the slightly ethereal beauty of the elves and their lithe build. Her biggest complaint about herself is her rather large bust, something she finds often gets in the way and causes back pain. Her brown hair falls to the small of her back and has soft wavy curls to it. She has rather large, brown eyes that often make her look innocent. She has full lips and a button nose situated on her round face. Her ears come to a small, elegant point thanks to her mother, though they aren’t as large as a full blooded elf. When it comes to clothes, Holli likes to wear outfits that are easy to move in. This often consists of some form of crop top paired with either some shorts or pants. She always wears boots and a pair of gloves, either fingerless or regular black gloves. [color=#D89A9E]Class:[/color] Barbarian [/cell][cell] [img]https://i.imgur.com/7wVp8qv.png[/img] [Color=2e2c2c]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[/color] [/cell][/row][/table] [center][h1][color=#AEB4A9]Psychology[/color][/h1][/center] [table][row][/row][row][cell] [img]https://i.imgur.com/eqhGVVi.png[/img] [Color=2e2c2c]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[/color] [/cell][cell] [color=#D89A9E]Personality:[/color] One word many people would use to describe Holli upon first meeting her would be lazy. She'd much rather be sleeping all day or just sitting and reading a book than doing anything else, but she also knows that's not feasible. She's pretty laid back about things and will often go with the flow of a group, but ask her to take charge and she'll complain about it the whole time doing it. Surprisingly, though, she does fairly well at leading when she does agree to it. She's highly intelligent and has a rather tactical mind. She just doesn't want to put in the effort to take charge. Upon getting to know her further, one would discover that behind the resting bitch face is a fiercely loyal person. She loves her friends and will protect them if in danger. She can sometimes make witty remarks and will crack jokes on occasions, but does so with a pretty bored tone.

Many would look at her, her lack of weapon, and her small stature and likely assume she was a magic wielder. She’ll often use this to her advantage before punching the daylights out of someone. [color=#AEB4A9]Rage ||[/color] One would look at the mellow, lazy girl and not realize that she could house such primal ferocity. She can channel her anger in a fight, becoming so focused that she barely notices damage being done to herself and increasing her own strength. [color=#AEB4A9]Fists and Kicks ||[/color] Holli doesn’t fight with a weapon, instead she uses punches and kicks to get the job done. [color=#AEB4A9]Danger Sense ||[/color] She has the uncanny ability to sense when things aren’t as they should be allowing her to have an edge when dodging away from danger. [color=#AEB4A9]Ancestral Guardians ||[/color] Holli draws her strength from her ancestors. On occasion when she’s fighting, especially when she goes into a rage, spectral warriors appear around her and fight with her. While not being able to do much physical harm to enemies, they serve well as a distraction and allow Holli to get the upper hand easier. [color=#AEB4A9]Constitution ||[/color] Holli has a higher constitution than most and thus can take more hits. [color=#AEB4A9]Intelligent ||[/color] Holli breaks the stigma of barbarians being big, dumb brutes. She is actually incredibly intelligent, a gift she comes by naturally. She actually has a rather tactical mind. [/cell][cell] [img]https://i.imgur.com/f0N31JQ.png[/img] [Color=2e2c2c]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[/color] [/cell][cell] [color=#D89A9E]Weaknesses:[/color] [color=#AEB4A9]Recklessly Attacking ||[/color] Sometimes she’ll enter a blind rage and begin to attack recklessly, thus leaving herself open for easier attacks. [color=#AEB4A9]No Weapon Training ||[/color] Holli hasn’t trained with any weapon other than her own fists. [color=#AEB4A9]Lazy ||[/color] She will find the laziest way out of a situation, even if that means convincing others to run or just running on her own to avoid a bothersome fight. She also tends to do most tasks half assed. [color=#AEB4A9]Not too Charming ||[/color] Charm isn’t her friend. Holli tends to be far too blunt for most people and often doesn’t realize when she’s offended someone. [color=#AEB4A9]No Magic Experience ||[/color] While some would argue her use of spirits when fighting is a form of magic, Holli truly doesn’t have much experience with magic. Her mother attempted to teach her, but Holli didn’t retain much from those lessons. [color=#AEB4A9]No Ranged Abilities ||[/color] If she can’t get up in something’s face she’s pretty useless in a fight. [/cell][/row][/table] [center][h1][color=#AEB4A9]History[/color][/h1][/center] [color=#D89A9E]Biography:[/color] Holli was born the bastard daughter of a human noble and an elven servant in Balmoria. Her father is the son and heir of Duke Lockheart and her mother is an elven servant of theirs. Their relationship was never meant to flourish and Lord Bently Lockheartl only meant to have fun with the young elven maid, Rania Elcaryn. When he found out she was pregnant, he was furious and urged her to get rid of the baby. Rania, however, refused to do so and Lord Bently threatened to send her away. Thankfully it was Duke Lockheart who stepped in and insisted his son take responsibility for his actions. So Rania stayed on as a maid and Holli was born into the Lockheart family with Duke Lockheart accepting her as his granddaughter. While she got little attention from her father, her mother and grandfather loved her dearly. Her mother taught her all she could of her elven heritage and her grandfather made sure she got the best education possible. Holli longed for her fathers affection, but she was never to have it. Raina wished for her daughter to learn the magic of the elves, but Holli had other interests. She often found herself out watching some of the guards train with her uncles. The Lockhearts were known to have a special fighting ability, calling upon their ancestors for strength and going into powerful rages. She begged her grandfather to let her train and soon she became the first female to train in the art. Holli was unique, not just in being the only woman to train, but she also didn’t use a weapon as the others did. She showed that she much preferred to use her bare hands. While she loved learning to fight, she didn’t love the bullying she got from some of the men. It was this fact that caused her to lose quite a bit of joy in fighting. She had tried so hard to be the best she could, only to be made fun of. She tried hard to earn her fathers affection, yet got ignored. These were big factors in building the person she is today, the person who doesn’t put full effort into anything because what’s the point. When she got her letter stating she was accepted into Hoseforn’s Academy she almost rejected the invitation. It was from the urging of her mother and her grandfather that she finally decided to go.[/color][/hider]
