Holly (Comic Series)

"What? What do you want to say, Rosita? Do you think I feel good about what happened? I didn't want him to leave you for me. That was never my goal. You can say what you want to say, chew me out if you want, but know this--He did what he thought would make him happy--Because life is short--and he sure as fuck turned out to be right."

- Holly to Rosita at Abraham's funeral.

Holly is a character first encountered in Issue 73 of The Walking Dead and is a survivor and resident living in the Alexandria Safe-Zone. Holly worked on the construction crew alongside of Tobin, Bruce, and Abraham Ford.

Post-Apocalypse
She made her first appearance in Issue 73, working on the expansion of the Safe-Zone's walls. They are forced to come down from the walls by the zombies, and she became completely surrounded. Sgt. Abraham Ford tried to lead a small group of Safe-Zone survivors to rescue her. The group was, however, stopped by the head of the construction group Tobin, who tried to explain that it would be completely dangerous and unnecessary to save her. Thankfully, Abraham was able to push past Tobin, and save her life in the nick of time. After Holly had been rescued, Tobin tried to explain that he was just trying to follow protocol, to which she was understandably infuriated and kicked him in the groin, calling him an "asshole".

In Issue 79, she was shown killing the zombies with the other Safe-Zone survivors, i.e.: Abraham and Tobin, at the construction site.

Afterwards, it became heavily implied in Issue 80 that she and Abraham had become romantically involved without Rosita or anybody else knowing. This affair presumably came into motion due in a large part to Abraham rescuing her.

Alexandria Safe-Zone Chaos
In Issue 81, she and Tobin were shown watching the rest of the Safe-Zone's walls come down. Holly ran off to get help, while Tobin, in an attempt to redeem himself for the construction site incident, stayed to fight off the oncoming horde. When Holly came back with Abraham and Rick, Tobin was shown having been torn apart by the zombies, while the help looked on in horror.

After the zombies all swarm the safe zone, Holly flees to the roof of a house where she is seen hiding.

In Issue 84, Holly discovers Rick and Michonne fighting with all their strengths against the Herd, to keep them off of Dr. Cloyd's home, who was treating Carl's wound. Although she's very reluctant, she joins the group of Abraham, Rosita, Aaron, Eric, Eugene, Nicholas, and Gabriel. Together the entire group fights almost to the point of exhaustion, but they manage to defeat the herd.

Conflict With The Saviors
In Issue 112, Holly, along with Rick, Heath and Nicholas run after the The Saviors in order to kill Negan and his men once and for all. Andrea takes out the driver of Negan's truck and Rick order's Negan and his men not to move. Suddenly the guns are shot out of everyone's hands and it is revealed Negan had men hidden outside the walls. Carl tries to shoot Negan but he misses and hits Lucille instead. This angers Negan who demands that Carl be thrown over the wall, or he will execute Holly and the others.

Negan is about to choose his next victim until Paul "Jesus" Monroe shows up and grabs a savior by the foot, who he trips and uses as a shield from Savior gunfire. Paul tells Holly and the others to get in a nearby trench while he fights off The Saviors.

Killed Victims
This list shows the victims Holly has killed:
 * Numerous counts of zombies.

Abraham Ford
Holly's first love in the Safe-Zone. Holly was impressed by Abraham's self-esteem, and fell in love with him. Rosita found out Abraham had cheated on her, and left his building. Abraham later invited her to his building, and it's assumed they had sex. After Abraham was killed, Holly was extremely angry and devastated.

Tobin
Holly was in furious rage, when Tobin almost left her to die. She kicked him in the groin. Later, they are still seen working together maintaining the wall in order to keep the herd of walkers from breaking through.

Bruce
Holly and Bruce worked on the construction team together for quite a long time and became friends. When he was attacked and bitten, Holly was very upset. When Abraham killed Bruce, Holly was extremely angry, but Abraham calmed her down saying Bruce was his friend and he was doing it to put him out of his misery.

Rick Grimes
At first Holly viewed Rick as a good leader to replace Douglas Monroe but eventually thought that while he was capable, he didn't seem to be the right choice. She later confided in Abraham and said that he would be much better suited to lead the community. Her feelings about Rick quickly turned to hatred and outright disgust after he made the decision to release Dwight, the man who had killed Abraham, and let him go back to the Saviors.

Dwight
After Dwight killed Abraham, Holly loathed Dwight and the rest of the Saviors and was disgusted and outraged when Rick released Dwight back to his group. It is safe to assume that, due to being Abraham's killer, she hates Dwight the most out of all other Saviors.
