Holly

Personality:

Holly, despite his short stature - or maybe because of it - is sharp-tongued and haughty. They'll sometimes act sweet and kind to others too, though. And other times...well, in the end, it's difficult to tell what sort of personality Holly has, given that he often masks them in order to perform his duties effectively. Since the events of DRcade2, Holly has softened a little around certain individuals - but even then, he sometimes struggles to pull down a mask that he's worked tirelessly to maintain over the years. 

Background:

Holly is one of the Four Season Assassins - a group of Assassins aptly named for the work that they do. They are well regarded for their ability to thwart other assassins, and Holly, like the others, were commonly hired to protect families with a target over their heads.

At one point,  Holly is introduced to DRcade, a game where murders are encouraged in a safe, no-killing environment. However, the version he is introduced to has a twist - that the deaths, while they do not stick per say, do erase the memories (And by extension, the identity) of a person who is killed in the game. This very real threat makes these games the perfect testing ground for him and the other assassins, and the usual head of these games, Nikola, found use in the game by putting threats of the organization in the game as a fun 'last chance' to see if they were worth keeping around. 

But then, a game of DRcade is set up to actively go against the organization as a whole. A game that Holly at first doesn't see anything different from, but when he realizes that Missile of all people is here, and Missile is set to be Nightshade's target? More and more confusing things begin to have Holly question the game and, when the truth is brought to him, other encourage him to fight with them, rather than throw his life away. 

Since that day, Holly uses his time to hunt down the members who had betrayed them and the rest of Nikola's organization. Though he knows it's no easy task, this time, he's got a number of bonds outside of his occupation - whether he'll admit to it or not, they're bonds that he desperately needs.

Other Info:

• Holly, on many occasions, uses Kenji to get them out of tight situations. A reliable guy whenever you need to perform a hit and run, you know?
• Holly occasionally checks in on Ace, both to try and have a genuine friendship, and to protect them from any dangers that the organization may have accidently put Ace in.
• Missile and him are (were?) dating, but after Missile lost his memories, Holly's been trying to work out how to go about this. 
• Since Holly only visits the mansion where Missile and co stay, he struggles the most with recognizing when Solstice is around, and has more or less decided that they're an elaborate ghost prank crafted by the combination of Missile, Michi, and Hazel.
• Because Michi was the major person who convinced Holly to not throw his life away, he believes that he 'owes Michi' and does what he can to support him. He still thinks he's a little brat though (aka, he worries too much about him).
