PERSONALITY
Likes: a solid self care routine, rainy days, bold coffee with a rich, sweet creamer, spicy foods Dislikes: sudden, sharp noises, disruption of her schedule or plan, traffic on a short drive Strengths: active listening and a knack for picking up on context clues in conversation, a strong awareness of emotional changes in others Weaknesses: rigid in all ways: routine, habits, schedule. Any disruption of these things can easily ruin her whole outlook on a day, as well as her ability to function well in the change of events. She's stubborn with people outside of her work place. The only way is her way, making her a terrible team player and hard to get along with.
General personality: Holly is all business in attitude. She has a very practical outlook on life and is fine with mundanity. A peaceful life is a simple one. In her social interactions she can be quite charming with her general intelligence and aptitude for listening to others, but in any kind of disagreement she is quick to become haughty and defensive in her position. People that understand she means well say that Holly is just headstrong while others would be quick to call her a know-it-all bitch. She has a great deal of confidence in her appearance both physically and professionally and socially but lacks confidence in her ability to adjust to new situations.
HISTORY
Education: Doctorate in Psychology from University of Denver Years in Sweetwater: 1 year, a recent transplant to start her own practice Family Members: Mother - Alison Ward (deceased by car accident) Father - Hunter Ward (alive, retired to Florida) Sister - Jenelle Ward (college student)
General History: Holly grew up in a small town in North Colorado with a relatively happy family life. She excelled in school, and had a good relationship with her sister and peers. She picked up a few small craft hobbies in middle school (and was quite quick to learn) but when her mother passed right before high school, she gave up the crafts and focused on her mental health, as well as the mental health of her father and sister. Her active efforts to help her family through grief while she was also struggling to cope, is what lead her into her passion of psychiatry. Throughout high school she excelled in her studies and extracurriculars but began to struggle connecting with her peers. Her loss had left her feeling rather barren emotionally and she had a hard time empathizing with regular teenage drama. She decided she was generally happier with less people in her life. Her sister struggled in the social dynamic bringing Holly along to gatherings and events, eventually causing a great deal of discourse between the two. The discourse lead to estrangement when Holly left for college. While Holly speaks to her father regularly, and her sister every now and again, the relationships remain tense and formal rather than warm and loving. Her choice to settle into the small town of Sweetwater was practical to her and made the tension of her family situation a little easier to bare. Space is the only thing Holly requires to be her most efficient self.
