{{ HOLLY jane MERIMOORE }}
{{ The Stats }}Name: Holly Jane Merimoore
Name Pronunciation: Hall-ee Jay-ne Mary-more
Nicknames: Seeing as Holly’s name is somewhat short to begin with, so shortening it anymore is a little bit hard. Her mother used to call her Holly Tree as a term of endearment, but no one has called her that in many many years.
Age: 24
Birthday: May 13th, 1983
Occupation: Holly owns an organic lotions/shampoo/conditioner/whatever she could possibly sell there sort of store called StarDrops. She also sells potions that help with love, health, luck, and all of those generic type things that people like. Most people think of her potions as just little joke like stuff, but they definitely pack a punch.
{{ The Witch }}Familiar: Holly has a whole bunch of pets in her house. She has a Dachshund named George, a cat named Coolie, three birds, and a few small snakes. Most of the caged animals live in her store, but the cat and dog follow her around the house and store like she’s their mother. Sometimes she trips over them.
Powers: + *Clairvoyance :: Clairvoyance is the psychic ability or power to see objects, and visions, or to gain information regardless of its distance. The visions may also be in the future, and some times in the past. Clairvoyance is an umbrella term which often refers to telepathy, spiritualism, psychic research, second sight, prophetic visions, and dreams. The visions are only of possible futures and may shift constantly. Clairvoyance was Holly's second power, and boy did it come as a shock. Though when she first started using the power it was uncomfortable and she hated it, now she's grown used to it. It's no longer full of horrible headaches accompanied by whiplash. This power usually comes to her in visions when she touches something that is associated with what's going to happen. As the years have gone on she's definitely gotten better at concentration on what's going on in the vision and not in the fact that she's having one.
+*Glamouring :: Glamouring is a magical method of changing one's appearance in small ways; hair color, eye color, skin color, etc. Glamouring was Holly's first power to come to her. Since she has always been into dressing a little differently, though still stylishly, she has also loved changing her look up as well. The emotion that usually triggered this power was extreme excitement and/or optimism. In order for the change to take place though her skin has to rub over the area that needs to change. By running her fingers through her hair, she can change her hair color, if she were to rub her skin she could change it's color as well. To change her eye color she just has to close her eyes, wait a moment, and then open them again. One of the best things about her power is that she can do things like add scars and do some not so natural things to her face and body. She's still working on giving herself some demon qualities, but that's definately the hardest thing she's tried. As the years have gone by, she has learned that she can also change the look of other people's appearance as well using her hands. She could probably do peoples eyes but no one likes to be poked there.
+ **Telekinesis :: is the ability to move things with the power of one's mind alone. It can be channeled through the eyes or by the hands. Telekinesis is Holly's only offensive power, and she's so glad she finally got it when she was 18. It was looking to be a very boring and dangerous life as a witch that only got visions and could change her appearance. Holly's Telekinesis is generally triggered by nervousness. She usually uses her hands to use the power and can pretty much just throw items at people. Sense she's grown pretty used to the power she has actually gotten pretty good at throwing people as well.
Assigned White Lighter: {{ The Painting }}Celebrity Face: Anna Faris
Hair: Since Holly changes her hair daily with her power, she usually can be seen wearing a whole bunch of different hair colors, lengths, and styles from day to day. There is one hair style, however, that she likes more than the others. It's a mixture of browns and blonds that reaches to the bottom of her shoulder blades. She likes to have her hair in a bunch of little braids with beads and little accessories.
Texture-wise her real hair is a bit stiff, though still soft. It's hard to do anything with it really, unless she uses her glamoring power. It doesn't curl and it doesn't stay up in pretty styles. It's a blank canvas, which is probably why it's the best kind of hair for her ability.
Eyes: Holly's eyes are naturally a light blue color, but again with the glamoring power that she has she often changes them to a lot of different colors. Her eyes are always smiling and bright. No matter what she always
Height: 5'6"
Body Shape: Though Holly isn't fat by any means, she definitely has to watch her weight since she likes fattening and sweet foods more than healthy foods. She keeps in shape by doing palates and yoga every day or every other day.
Clothing: Holly's style is a mixture of 70's glamor rock and 60's flower child. She'll wear frills and peasant tops and she loves all kinds of fabrics. She never looks boring, but she never looks bad either. Holly loves fashion, and she definitely likes to show of her own style.
When it comes to colors that she enjoys wearing, she's pretty open to them all. She really doesn't like the puke greens and horrible oranges of the 70's though. She would prefer to wear something a little more rich feeling.
Other: Holly's skin has a healthy glow to it. She's really taken care of it over the years by not letting it get burnt, not smoking, and using her own concoctions of moisturizer. It's soft, not at all oily, and she really doesn't have any blemishes or scars to speak of.
When it comes to make up, she loves it. During her early twenties, and before she opened up her store she was a make up artist as the local beauty supply store. There, she learned everything she needed to know. Usually she changes it up a bit, but she really likes a shaded eye and a pink lipstick. Nothing that's gaudy, of course, she always looks put together.
Holly's voice is friendly and slightly high pitched. She always sounds supportive and happy. Though it cracks every once in awhile, it's never really horrible to listen too.
{{ The Person }}Overall Personality: The best word to describe Holly is happy. She's always happy and tries to look at the better side of everything. She's optimistic to a fault, and never thinks that anything is impossible. One thing her mother taught her was that as a witch, nothing is unworkable.
Holly is always smiling and always trying to make people feel better. She's not afraid to give of herself to make people happier, feel better, of feel more comforted. As good as this trait is, it's also a bad one. Sometimes she gets too concerned for others and forgets about herself. She'll forget to sleep, to eat, to do so many important things just to help someone out.
Holly's reaction to anger and sadness are one in the same. She rarely ever cries, only because she just can't stand that tired horrible feeling that it gives people. She usually just shrugs things off and laughs. Pulling pranks on people sometimes makes her feel better, but usually it just hides her pain deeper. It wouldn't be surprising if she were to one day blow up and start to cry insanely, because she just can't take it anymore.
Strengths:\\ Holly is an awesome potion maker. She was really interested in mixing different concoctions as a child and learned as much as she could about different ingredients. Now she's makes the most strong and affective motions around.
\\ Holly has always been a really friendly person. Even with the rumors swirling around her
\\ Holly has a great sense of fashion, that's not necessarily the 'norm,' but it usually catches people's eye in a good way.
\\ She really is a great roll model for the younger and newer witches in her coven. She's very patient to teach people and she's great with kids and people who just don't understand.
\\ Holly is a good leader that will put just about anything in her real life down to take care of her family, friends, coven, and innocents. She's very giving of herself and therefore is someone that people can count on.
Weaknesses:// Holly is way too trusting. She is willing to give just about anyone a second chance, no matter what they've done in the past.
// Holly genuinely wants to see the good in everyone and will often convince herself that people are good even though they've done very very bad things.
// Holly is extremely dedicated to her work as a witch. Though dedication is often seen as a good thing, this kind of dedication will probably get her killed one day. She will literally just about anything to save an innocent.
// She loves to indulge in things. She often has a hard time balancing her check book because she loves to shop. She also likes to over indulge herself in fattening and sweet foods. Which means her weight can sometimes fluctuate. The phrase, "Too much of a bad thing" just isn't in her book of life lessons.
// Holly tries to please people way too much. She's almost always looking to make people happy, which can sometimes distract her from her own wants and needs. Though she's never all that worried about what people think about her, she's always concerned with what would make people happy.
Likes:+ Holly loves fashion. She loves to shop and buy knew things.
+ She also loves to eat fattening and often way too sweet things. It often effects her waist line more than anything else.
+ Holly genuinely loves being a witch. She loves saving people and she really likes running her own coven and teaching new witches the things that she's learned from her experiences.
+ Holly loves running her own business and selling things she makes in her own kitchen and grows in her garden on the roof of her building.
+ Holly loves to bake. It might have something to do with her love of mixing and making things, but baking, making moisturizers, and creating potions are some of her favorite things to do on her free time.
Dislikes:- She very much dislikes the kids that egg her store window every Halloween. She'll get them one day, but in the mean time she'll just complain about it all year long until it happens again.
- Holly hates to wake up early. She was late to school more times than she was on time and can never wake up the first time her alarm goes off. The Snooze button is both her friend and her mortal enemy.
- Cocky witches that aren't willing to teach. She just hates it when witches don't help those who are still learning. Being a witch is about passing the wisdom on, not being a dick.
- Extremely bitter things. She likes coffee, but has to add a lot of milk and sugar to make it good. She hates dark chocolate.
- Grumpy church going folk. She says they don't bother her, but they do. Usually she just shrugs them off and laughs, but deep down it hurts her to be hated. She'll sometimes do a magical prank to the person just to make herself feel better.
Habits:* Surprisingly, Holly can have a bit of a sailor's mouth on her. She doesn't swear often, but when she's annoyed or angry she will go off.
* Holly is a bit of a shop-shopaholic. She's one of those people that totally buys every magazine and piece of gum she can find at the quick pick ups on the check out aisle.
* Holly tastes everything, even if it looks like it probably shouldn't be tasted. She's grown to be quite immune to some of the more horrible potions, since she's tasted so many.

{{ The Emotion }}Sexuality: She was bi-curious when she was younger, but she's totally straight now.

{{ The History }}Hometown: Chicago
Alliance: So either you're good or you're evil.
Family: Jane Merimoore: Jane Merimoore: Jane was a very respected witch in the neighborhood Holly grew up in. She lead a coven of her own and was very intelligent in the way of the craft. Jane and Holly get along for the most part, but they still have their mother daughter fights every once in awhile. Jane is a thinner woman that looks almost identical to her daughter, except a little bit older and with brown hair. Jane's Powers are Illusion Casting and Invisibility.
Paul Merimoore: Paul is also a very supportive witch that is a bit of a hippy dippy guy. He's a free thinker and has always stood by his daughter's decisions. Sure, he's a bit wacky sometimes (without the use of drugs), but he loves his daughter and tries to protect her as much as possible. Paul is a very tall, thin guy, that has blond hair and blue eyes. Paul's powers are Super Human Strength (Pretty funny for a guy that's so skinny) and Aerokenisis.
History: Holly grew up in Chicago in a small community that was very tightly knit. Her mother was a respected member of society, and the culture in the neighborhood was extremely artsy and fun. Many people knew of her parent's religious beliefs and usually accepted it, though there were a few that despised the family.
Most of Holly's life was lived in the comfort of her row house. Holly was home schooled, but never kept from social interaction. She played stick ball in the streets with her neighbors and would often help her mother out with the house work.
Holly grew up learning things that most children don't. She learned about charms, potions, and spells, rather than mathematics and science; though she was taught those things as well.
When Holly was 22 she took over her mother's coven when she retired. Though her mother often sits in and joins in on the fun, she takes a back seat now. She raised Holly to teach people about the craft and be a good leader.
