Holly Grant

Personal Information

Appearance

Holly is five foot five, and weighs 63kgs. She is a natural redhead though optimizes the color with dye to really bring out the brightness of the tone. Her skin is a pale cream color with light freckles that cover her cheeks, nose, and shoulders. Her eyes are an indistinct mix between blue and green, appearing more prominently one or the other depending on the light. Her nose is slightly too high in the bridge, almost appearing as though it has been broken once in the past. She appears to be in her late teens-mid twenties when made-up. Can pass as late twenties and older without makeup.
Holly tends to dress comfortably unless the situation calls for more formal attire. When she is working she wears slightly more revealing clothes, a tank or crop top with a pattern or logo and jeans. For everyday situations she’ll wear a T-shirt [plain or otherwise], jeans and a jacket[usually leather, sometimes denim], usually coupled with boots of some kind. Formally she’ll wear dresses or at least a very dressy shirt and pants set. She has a necklace with an antique appearing ring on it.

Personality

Holly is a very bright girl. She was one of the top members of her class, and was always quick to pick up new skills and talents. But she has a rebellious side that has never quite been quelled. It's what made her seem almost perfect for a place in the Carthians. And yet she has the side to her that stays proper, that makes her a perfect Invictus. She's the epitome of a trust fund child. She can be spoiled and snobby, but she can also be strict. She has a lot of conflicting parts to her personality but all that is known is that she is true to the Invictus and she seems...ditzy.

Truth is, she tends to act like she is dumber than she is; she feels more comfortable knowing people are underestimating her capabilities. Her ability to read folks is one of her stronger suits. Working in the club she’s got a pretty good eye for people in a bad way, or who are overstepping personal boundaries.

Mortal World

Holly was born at the Spire Wellsley Hospital in Southend-On-Sea in 1974 to Jonathan and Miranda Grant, a couple who had moved to the seaside town some four years prior to retire and start their family.

At age 3 she began attending the Badminton School for Girls, a private boarding school in Bristol, some three hours away for classes during the day. She was chauffeured by her family chauffeur each day. At age 6 she began attending the school in full, boarding there completely.
When she was 10 she went on a trip to Paris with her parents and her now four year old sister, Poppy. They spent a nice few weeks over the summer in Paris and she gained access to fashion she hadn't even dreamed of in her young life. It also opened her up to the world of socialites, and began spending time at the country club her family were members of when her parents would attend.
She attended her boarding school all through the year, however, only returning home on weekends. She spent a lot of time with Poppy when she also began attending, and helped her sister become accustomed to the school and walked her through her homework and the like.
At age 16 she went on a field trip to London with the school. She snuck away from the group and found a group of local teens who had skipped school for the day. She spent the day shooting the shit and smoking. She makes some friends who remain her friends for years to come.

She graduated school with honors at age 18, and at age 19 moved to London to work at her father's friend's Law Firm. She began hanging out with her friends from the field trip again. She'll go to work, head home, get changed and then go out to clubs with her friends. She does all the things that people her age tend to do at the time; drugs, alcohol, the lot. She is always in the pursuit of the best night ever. But she moderates all this to be able to go to work the next morning. She's at least responsible in that way.

Age 22 she meets a guy at a club, he's totally cool and she's super into him. She goes back night after night to hang out and talk to him. A week later she's embraced by Randy Priest.

She goes through the motions after this, communicating and visiting her family as she usually did, not letting on about the fact that she is now Kindred. In 2008 she begins travelling through Europe, sending postcards and the like to her family before moving to Australia and traveling there too, visiting each court and learning about how Australian kindred work. In 2010 she hears about Roxby Downs and moves there, she tells her family that she has found a guy and is settling down.

Information Known by Kindred Society

Embraced in 1996 in England by a sire she'd rather not talk about, Madame Holly Grant is originally from England, and moved to Australia in 2009. She traveled all across the country before settling in Roxby Downs and opening a nightclub in the pleasure district. She's known for the club and her role as someone who helps situate newcomers in the city.

Lineage

Known Sire

Randy Priest: He's her sire. She'd rather not talk about him. He wanted her in the Carthians and she outright betrayed him by joining the Invictus instead. And then didn't tell him. So he found out through less than fun means. So she kind of avoids him where she can these days when she sees him on the forums.

Known Siblings

Lucky: Holly doesn't actually know about her sister yet. It ought to be an interesting event when she does.
