I keep on tellin' everyone the truth
But maybe that's not the move
And everyone wants to hear a strong opinion
If it's the same as you

PERSONALITY: Holly is bright in both senses of the word: she is quick-witted and smart, but she also shines brightly when she smiles and her mother often jokes that Holly is her own personal sunshine. Unfortunately, she can be a little too proud of her own wit and often puts it to use irritating others. She does not hesitate to tell people what she thinks or to argue with her elders, something which often gets her into hot water. Luckily for her, her grandmother is the clan leader and happens to think that Holly's ideas are at least worth hearing.
Holly has a quick temper and a habit of jumping to conclusions. While she is usually cheerful and fun-loving, if she sees someone as disrespecting either her or her grandmother she will quickly get angry and go off on people. When something is inconvenient or upsetting to her, she's very much of the "I'll get over it I just need to be dramatic first" type.
When she is with patients, Holly is cheerful but firm. She will not let her patients do anything which will cause them additional harm, and she has no patience for people who will not trust her judgment. Holly isn't as interested in growing herbs and creating remedies as she is with putting those remedies to good use and the hands-on work that comes with being a healer. She enjoys caring for patients and knowing that her hard work will help them recover. She likes the normal day to day things; little colds, allergies, pregnancies, just as much as she enjoys working with difficult cases. She loves seeing the results of her work.
HISTORY: Holly is the granddaughter of Willow Sigferth, the current clan leader. She knows this means she is potentially able to become a clan leader later in life, but she isn't quite ready to face that responsibility. Instead, she'd rather focus on being the absolute best healer that she can be. She pours all of her energy into the patients she has, and she works her a** off when she is needed. She enjoys challenging cases, and encourages people to come to her for things they are struggling with.
She is close with her grandmother who treats her as if she is worth listening to, while she butts heads with her mother who thinks that she ought to be quieter and more respectful of her elders.
She has spent her entire life learning to be an excellent healer, and she plans to do exactly that as long as she lives. She hasn't given any thought to having a family of her own despite the fact that it drives her mother insane. For now, she's quite satisfied with the family she has: her sister Ainsley Sigferth is her best friend and her confidant. She trusts her sister with her life, and sometimes more than she trusts her self.
A few years ago, during the time the Moreling clan fell, Ainsley and Holly's older brother, Lennox, went to offer aid to the victims of that conflict. He never returned. Three years later, he has been presumed dead by the rest of the clan. A funeral was held only a few months ago to honor his spirit although his body could not be returned to the fields.
Not long after her brother's disappearance, Holly also lost her husband--not to death, but to drink. He'd already been having trouble with alcohol, but he only grew worse the longer the two of them went without children. After coming home to him passed out drunk after he'd promised to clean up for what was the fifth time, Holly was done. She waited for him to leave, then brought her sister over to gather up all his things and leave them in boxes on the street. Sigferth marriages end when one person moves out, and she wasn't giving him a choice.
Since then Holly has her sister Ainsley living with her instead, and she's quite content to keep it that way. She doesn't trust anyone else after being lied to so much.
