Summary

Holly is a Spartan of the Spartan III program in Team Saber, one of the leading squads in the Gamma generation of Spartan IIIs stationed on Onyx at Camp Currahee. She had short croped hair buzz-cut into a series of bear-claw scratch patterns. For that some of the other teams teased her, and she was demoted twice for fighting. She gave her life in Onyx when she voluntarily jumped in front of Kelly to cover her from a fuel rod (cannon), leaving only the outlines of two footprints on the floor.

Personal Description

Holly was very tiny, even for a spartan, Kurt said she reminded him of Kelly when she was younger. Holly was also fast like Kelly(but not speed wise). She was good at recon.

Biography

Not that much is known about Holly because of her short life. Holly was conscripted into the SPARTAN-III program, developed by James Ackerson around 2546 between the ages of 5 and 7 when she, along with other orphans volunteered to become Spartans and avenge her family, Home planet of Harvest, or just because she wanted to be like the man in green(Kurt in his MJOLNIR armor). Once on Onyx, she and the other orphans volunteered and where she was trained with the rest of the Spartan soldiers by Deja, Senior Chief Petty Officer Mendez; surviving Beta Company SPARTAN-IIIs Spartan-B091 "Lucy" and Spartan-B292 "Tom"; and SPARAN-II, Lieutenant Commander Ambrose aka SPARTAN-051.

Holly was assigned to Team Saber, under the command of SPARTAN-G099: Ash. When Onyx came under attack by Sentinels, the teams were still vying for top honors. Team Saber went dangerously close to Zone 67 to avoid the other teams. The team spied what they assumed at the time to be a new kind of covenant drone because of the energy shields. They decided to investigate and the sentinels engaged. Holly split from the rest of the team, all going different directions. She was cornered between a cliff and a sentinel and that's when she and the team discovered the weakness in the sentinels shields when Ash sidearmed a rock and connected with the sentinel. The sentinel chased Ash into a hole and Holly and the rest of the team pummeled the drone with huge rocks, destroying it.

A general decision was made and the Team moved to the armory to get some real fire power. Team Saber met up with Lieutenant Kurt, Senior Chief Petty Officer Mendez, Tom and Lucy, and proceeded to play life and death games of cat and mouse with the sentinels. Holly met up with Kelly and Dr. Catherine Halsey but had no time for pleasantries because they were soon engaged by a pair of sentinels.
