Holly's background music is "Galileo" by The Indigo Girls. She likes this song! It speaks to her. Click here! Above drawing done by Nancy and colored by Laurel. NAME: Holly Tia Macher (stage name) UNIVERSE: The Search for Outer Planet Intelligence 2290 PARENTS: Rain Dophim and Tio Karada; her adoptive father is Midori Kurosawa SPIRIT ANIMAL: Lynx AGE, BIRTHDATE: 20; June 24, 2270 HERITAGE: 1/4 Neptunian, 3/4 human. She was not born with a tail. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: 5' 9", bombshell figure, mid-back length dark purple hair, and blue eyes OCCUPATION: Model, actress, and spokesgirl for Yummy Pop Cola in Japan (which involves her in a very big ad campaign) SKILLS/POWERS: Ecopsionic (which means she can understand the language of nature, and nature can understand her when she speaks), she's also pretty good at defending herself and very intelligent. My friend Karen helped me come up with the term "ecopsionic" by suggesting the "eco" part. :) WEAKNESSES: A little egotistical; she can get overloaded from nature talking to her and can't hear anything else; her ecopsionics cannot for the most part be used for defense. STORY: Holly can be brutally honest, which makes her seem harsh at times, but she cares very much for her family and friends and will defend them with whatever she can get her hands on. Which means sometimes she fights dirty. >;D Her portfolio so far includes photo spreads in several gentlemen's magazines, a small part in a movie called "Remembrance," and spokesmodel for Yummy Pop Cola in Japan. "Remembrance" was an action movie in the style of Jackie Chan, with a descendent of Jackie Chan's in it, Furin "Fury" Chan {{this is all fictional, of course}}. Holly's part in the movie basically consisted of being cute, doing zany things, and screaming while the bad guys fought the big star kung-fu style. She even had a recurring line throughout the movie: "I'm so cuuuuute!" said with two fingers up, in a cutesy voice. Holly's job as the Yummy Pop spokesgirl consists of doing commercials, having her picture on billboards, and doing personal appearances. Yummy Pop has launched a huge ad campaign around her. A bit about Yummy Pop: it's made by the people who make Pepsi, and it's loaded with sugar and caffeine. {{Of course, all of this is fictional, too.}} Recently she got a lead part on a new soap opera. Holly is also working on a degree in Art History because she wants to be an Art Historian. She is fluent in three languages--English, Neptunian, and Japanese {{or at least as fluent in Japanese as she can be from the books I have ;D}}. Very athletic and physical, Holly can defend herself very well, and enjoys spelunking, roller skating, and horseback riding. Unlike her cousins, Holly DOES NOT have a tail. Part of the genetics of 1/4 Neptunian babies is that they have a 50/50 chance of being born with a tail. She did not get one. Tio Karada was created by K-kitty.
