Personality:
Holly has a kind heart that almost seems to blossom as years go by, caring for each and every plant, person and Pokemon. She’s incredibly gentle, having a natural calm and tender nature, which can especially be noticed when she's caring for plants. She has a lot of patience when it comes to others, and she tends to back away from conflict, which can cause her to bottle her feelings; she doesn't reveal she's hurt until she's at the point of tears.

She’s also very organized and artistic, having a knack for flower-arranging thanks to Erika. She loves to make her own Incenses, perfumes, and has grown the most beautiful gardens. Holly has a lot of love for her passions- she can really throw herself into things she loves and can easily lose track of time.

STORY
Born in Celedon City; the rich, rainbow colored city where people and Pokemon gather. 

As a child, battles made Holly nervous and therefore she was anxious about getting a Pokemon and going on a journey, but after taking a chance, she got to travel and see the beautiful world, meeting so many more Pokemon that she'd grow to love and cherish.
 
She opens a flower shop and gives trainers a Squirt Bottle, and has the most beautiful gardens in her backyard! Trainers are free to take and grow their own berries if they wish. Her shop sells seeds, berries, incense and more.

RELATIONSHIPS

Erika: Known as the Nature-Loving Princess, Holly can't help but admire Erika and how serene she is. She's very ladylike, and has an art for flower-arranging, which Holly joins her in during their free time. She worries when Erika seems to doze off quite a bit, but the others in the gym tell her that it's normal.

Coral: They've met on more than one occasion and are very friendly with one another. Coral has fallen in love with her homemade tea blends. The two arranged to exchange packages of baked goods and tea blends. 

Clover: They met during Clover's visit to the Kanto region, in search of incense and flowers- and she came to the right place! Holly adores both, making and growing her own. She also is rather fond of Clover's candles, enjoying the floral scents especially. The two are very close friends, having kept in contact after they first met. When Holly visits Sinnoh, she's so excited to be reunited with Clover and stays with her during her time here. 

POKEMON TEAM

Lily
Eevee → Leafeon ♀
Eevee was calm from the moment Holly met her; she didn't run away and in fact actively wanted to play and walk along with Holly when they met on Pokemon Road.  They became quickly attached, and the two love to lounge together or go on leisurely walks through the garden. Holly makes a perfume from the distinctive aroma that drifts from Maple's leaves. She is named after the lily of the valley.

Rosebud
Budew ♀

Sprout
Chikorita ♀

Tinkerbell
Cutiefly ♀

TRIVIA
+ Her favorite mythicals are Celebi and Shaymin
+ lots of snacks dabbled around the house, safe for people and Pokemon
+ Galarians favor the distinctive aroma that drifts from this Leafeon's leaves. There's a popular perfume made using that scent- Holly may not be Galarian, but she agrees with them 100%, and owns the perfume herself!
