Background:

Holly was born in the town of Roswell, home to the 1950's supposed
aliens, in the state of New Mexico. When she was growing up, she took
an interest in the town's checkered past and got the reputation of
being a bit eccentric.

When she was old enough, she headed to the big city, where she worked
in a bar with some female friends for a year before applying to study
for a 4 year Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree at the University
of New Mexico in Albuquerque, receiving a very high GPA and happiness.

Since her brothers were in Starfleet and she wanted a change, Holly
signed up for Starfleet. During her Starfleet Academy years, she
upgraded her qualifications and became a doctor.

Late on in her second last year at Starfleet, Holly met a friendly
young man, Joseph Sanchez, studying Engineering. Holly quickly
developed feelings for him, and he seemed to be very nice, spoiling
her a little.

Over time, they grew quite close and spent a lot of time together.
Holly loved the attention, and began overlooking some signs that in
hindsight, she wished she had not, such as his temper at times. She
let him move in with her to a nice apartment that she was renting
overlooking San Francisco bay in a fairly artistic area of the city.
He was a very good artist, and one times, she let him do a portrait
of her while she was nude. However, she was highly embarrassed the
whole time. He gave it to her later on, and she hid it away.

By the end of the year, they had married. Two happy months later,
Holly found that she was pregnant, and was overjoyed.

Unfortunately, Joseph had started to drink due to stress from his
heavy course workload, becoming abusive and hitting Holly around.
Campus Security even approached her a few times about bruises that
were on her face or when someone mentioned about how she looked like
she might be hurt.

One night after a particularly nasty incident where he slapped her
around and even kicked her stomach, she called the police out of fear
for her unborn child and he was arrested for assault. She had the
locks changed that night and the next day when he was bailed, police
officers watched with Holly as he packed up his stuff. She also took
out a restraining order against him.

A few days later when she was getting home, she entered her apartment
to find that Joseph had climbed up on to the balcony and jimmied the
lock. He grabbed her and pushed her against a mirror, holding her
arms against it as she struggled and screamed. He then forced a kiss
from her, and she ended up biting his lip. It distracted him enough
to let her knee him and race out.

A friendly neighbor racing up the stairs with a knife for protection
found her in the stairs going down. She took the knife from him and
headed back up. Joseph wisely slipped into the lift and left.
Starfleet Security sent two beefy male officers to stay with her.

Joseph was arrested the next day, and by the end of the month, they
were officially divorced, with Holly giving up any alimony in
exchange for Joseph willingly giving up all rights to their child.
While Starfleet wanted to boot him out on his backside, Holly
convinced them not to, and to give him another chance. Last thing
Holly heard after he agreed to give up rights was that he ended up
flunking out of the academy, heading to New York to work in a bar. In
an attempt to forget the sadness, Holly went back to using her maiden
name and soon after, Lily Goodhead was born.

After finishing her studies, she requested a month off as special
leave to relax & recover at her parent's home with Lily and also
working at the Roswell Public Hospital's ER department.

After her leave finished, Holly was assigned to a Miranda-class
medium cruiser named the USS Victorious. She made friends with a
security officer, Lt Jg. Claire Barnes, after Claire found Holly's
young daughter playing in the Security Office & Holly found Claire
playing with Lily. While Holly hadn't shown any earlier lesbian
tendencies, her relationship with Claire blossomed over the space of
a few months.

They moved into shared quarters eventually, and during an away
mission, they were both captured. Spending two months in prison where
Holly pined away for her daughter, Claire looked after her friend by
sitting upto guard her at night.

At one point, Claire offered herself instead of Holly when one of the
guards showed too much interest. Although Holly knew what Claire went
through, she allowed Claire to hide the exact details out of love.

After the pair were rescued and the Victorious was attacked with loss
of its captain, the ship headed back to a starbase to be
decommissioned. Holly, Claire and Lily headed to Earth where Holly
and Claire taught at the Academy. Holly delighted in the safety and
comfort of Earth while Claire chaffed at the bit.

When Claire transferred out to the USS Cairns, Holly stayed on Earth.
She was terrified when she heard news about the Cairns, but relieved
when Claire contacted her.

She took time off from the Academy when Claire was on Earth, and when
Claire got a job on the Kathmandu, Holly happily followed with Lily
this time. While aboard, they married.

Holly tried to help as much as she could as Claire had more to deal
with, but stayed in the back.

When Claire was assigned to Temporal Investigations and the
Andromeda, Holly and Lily came along too. She stood by her wife when
Claire was in trouble and demoted.

She has followed Claire to the USS Majestic as a medical officer.

Personality profile:

Holly shows a distinct preference to stay in the back and just follow
orders. However, she can be very outspoken and will step in when
needed. However, Holly can be described as emotionally-fragile and
doesn't take rejection very well. She is quite emotionally-needy.

Underneath, Holly has a good sense of humor and is very dedicated to
her job with a very compassionate and caring nature. She may be a
workaholic at times though.

From the incident with her ex-husband, it is very obvious that Holly
would do anything to protect her child.

Although Holly is quite private, she does allow Claire to sometimes
take advantage and do stuff that would embarrass her, such as
skinny-dipping or semi-nude modeling for Claire's art drawings.

Psychological Profile:

Holly shows tendency to be moody and withdrawn, hiding her feelings
and emotions from others until she gets to know them. This is
commonly due to great emotional hurt, which her divorce clearly is an
example of. Watching her with her young daughter Lily shows that she
will open up when she knows people.

Holly's whole life revolves around her young daughter Lily, who she
absolutely adores. Lily is now fourteen years old.

Holly has a mild case of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and can't
help keeping things neat & clean & logically grouped. She gets
annoyed when Claire or Lily are not, and she hates when her daughter
spitefully takes advantage of it to punish her.
