Appearance:

Holland was never described by anyone as gorgeous. When she was a little girl, she was always either "adorable" or "cute" and as she grew older her aunts and uncles would say things like "well, she is getting older" or "one day she'll be attractive", but never "isn't she beautiful!" (something people said about Mairwen all the time). Until a few years ago, the girl never seemed to fit her body. She was extremely thin (Holly is still substantially slender) and tall, making her movements seem awkward and her limbs lanky. The girl, who is 5’9” has considerably long legs, fingers, and toes, the first of which she sees as a blessing but the later two she vies as horrid.

Because of her Irish heritage, Holland skin is fair and spotted with freckles. Although her mother used to tell her when she was a child that they were angel kisses, Holly hates them and says that they remind her of mud. The young woman’s two, thin, almond-shaped eyes are a lovely shade of blue that almost appear grey. This is complemented perfectly by her auburn hair.

Personality:

Holland is a very outgoing and flamboyant person, and, contrary to the middle-child-stereotype of getting pushed aside and forgotten, she always makes sure that she is the center of attention. When she was a little girl, she would always set up a show for her whole family during holiday gatherings. They usually consisted of a small skit where she was the princess, Blair, her eldest brother, was the prince, and little Mairwen Denio was the horrible step-mother. No matter how much her siblings protested, Holly always found a way to persuade them. The girl always got what she wanted when she was younger and although she won’t admit it, it is very likely that Holland Denio believes that she is the center of the world. Everyone else is simply a tool to be used in bettering her life, and if you don’t like it, it really doesn’t matter. She’ll just get you back somehow. Holland has been known for being manipulative, cut-throat, and passive aggressive to even her parents.

But this just shows how intelligent the girl really is. She has always been a rather bright girl and, although it is a secret to most of her friends, Holland excels in her classes. Holland settles for nothing less than perfection and success is all that is important to her. It doesn’t matter much to her how she gets there, but more than anything the seventeen year old want to be known for something—she wants to be famous.

History:

Daughter of the head of the International Magical Office of Law in the Ministry of Magic and of his homemaker wife, Holland Jane Denio was born in Comber Ireland on April 19th. The couple, Margaret and Charles Denio, had been married for seven years and already had a three year old son named Blair by the time their new “bundle of joy” arrived. However, to call Holland that would be a huge irony. Not only did the young girl cry day in and day out, but it seemed that from the get-go, she and her older brother did not get along. However this was understandable, for she had invaded his world and this new baby suddenly needed more attention than he did.

The next few years were easy for the family to say the least. Charles had a successful job and was very prosperous and because Margaret was always home, it was almost as though Blair and Holly were waited on hand-and-foot. Although there was a new addition to the family when Holland was three (little Mairwen Riona was born), the red-headed girl hardly even noticed and just saw the baby as a new playmate.

At the age of eight, Blair was accepted into Hogwarts. This was no surprise to the family, but of course a big deal of commotion was made about it. And, although she had known her whole life that she was a witch and that her family was magic, it became a reality to Holland over the next few years. Life without magic seemed impossible and she was more eager for Hogwarts than ever. Every holiday vacation when her brother would return in his black robes with his trunk and books, the two would sit down on the floor and the precocious red head would interview him for hours. More than anything, she wanted to learn to use her power, and three years later, she finally did.
