Name: Holly Krantz

Bio: Holly Krantz, a Hetelville native, is Vixena Fukui’s sasquatch secretary and friend, who has been with her since she started her brothel and helped her keep it running smoothly.
Born on September 30th 1982, Holly was the daughter of a Sasquatch couple named Harland and Wendy Krantz who lived in the neighborhood/district of Hetelville known as Youkai Rakuen (which is kinda like a Youkai and Asian mythological creature version of Chinatown, which is odd given how neither of her parents were Youkai, though she is a quarter Japanese Bigfoot) and had two other children as well. She lived with them in an apartment complex owned by a nearsighted Tanuki who seemingly had no ability to comprehend the meaning of the word…quiet.
Holly was a relatively normal child save for her having a bizarre lack of agility and general clumsiness for which she was often teased (good naturedly or otherwise), she chose to try and fix this by taking gymnastics classes, the results were interestingly mixed, she did become more agile, but was just as clumsy as before, causing both to amusingly balance each other.
She made several friends during her time at school, a gorgon named Sophia Gorgonae (from whom she later befriended a zombie named Barbara Short and a Nekomata named Aika Nyaanei through a sorta awkward connection) , and a vampiress named Morgana Nightflower (who was a teacher at another high school that the Garth siblings attended).
During high school, she decided she wanted to find a career in business when she got older, and attempted to take business courses in a Miami college, she did pretty well until she got involved in a scandal where one of her classmates framed her for having sex with their professor to get better grades (Holly didn’t but the person who framed her did), which ultimately resulted in her having to leave the college and head over to Hetelville again at age 20.
She moved back into her parents’ apartment while she tried to find work, and ended up answering a wanted ad for a secretary position…at Vixena’s brothel, which she was trying to start at the time, she wasn’t having the best of luck trying to find work but decided to try and go for this anyways.
When she applied for the job, Vixena evaluated her skills and accepted her to work as her secretary, much to Holly’s relief, and she did as good a job as she could manage for her new boss.
As the brothel grew bigger and more successful, Holly’s work also improved, to the point where she was capable of helping Vixena manage the place when her boss wasn’t around, she also ultimately befriended Vixena and became a close friend of her’s over time. She became one of Vixena’s best (American) friends, and bonded with both her and Kira (who she would occasionally babysit when she could). She also ended up sleeping with Rod Garth several times.
Currently, she’s content in working as Vixena’s secretary and right-hand, and helps in running day to day at the Fox’s Tail brothel, though some minor interests of her’s also are on her mind, in addition to wishing she could actually find a boyfriend.

Personality and mannerisms: While she can occasionally put up with some very stubborn or eccentric people, Holly is very patient as secretaries go.
While she is willing to speak her mind, she’s quite polite about it and usually keeps her voice down in doing so, as opposed to, say, yelling about it.
However, in spite of her looks and some confidence she actually can be kinda shy, not too shy mind you, kinda like a mix between shy and sociable actually, she tends to be quite polite and well spoken, but can come across a bit quiet sometimes, she certainly isn’t a wallflower though, I can tell you that, she has several friends and a couple boyfriends in the past.
She’s been quite interested in business mostly because she found it an interesting enough field to enter, and that she could make a good living off of it, though brothels aren’t the thing she’d prefer to work at, she doesn’t mind Vixena’s brothel, in fact she loves working as her secretary.
Holly is a kind, sweet young lady, and is quite charitable as well.
She’s great friends with her boss Vixena, and quite close to her, she’s also quite close to Kira, whom she also babysat several times in the past, she loves spending time with her friends often, especially Sophia and Vixena.
She wishes she could get a boyfriend and possibly a husband…which, despite her looks has not been as easy as she’d like, she’s had plenty of dates though, one failed relationship though came about because the boyfriend was dating her as part of a scheme to get a discount on having sex with Vixena…neither she nor Holly were pleased to find this out at all, banning the guy from the brothel and also punching him a few times (well Vixena punched him, Holly doesn’t really like carrying out violence, though she did kick the guy with her feet).
Holly’s also good friends (with benefits) with Rod Garth, and has slept with him several times, unlike some of the people who know of Vixena’s immense love for him, she actually can see what she sees in him, but is comfortable with just being friends with him.
While she’s quite interested in her work, she’s got sizable interests in cosplay and board games as well, and possesses a variety of costumes and games, she also really wishes she could make her own board game one day, preferably via Kickstarter.
Other interests include football, dinosaurs, thriller movies, and comedies.
Her preferred foodstuffs happen to be clam chowder, biscuits and gravy, cream cheese, po’ boy sandwiches (preferably either shrimp or crab ones), potato salad, red beans and rice, sweet tea, RC cola, strawberry daiquiris, and margaritas.

Powers, skills, and equipment: Holly Krantz may have an informal ‘two year degree’ but she works well as a secretary. She’s known to take particularly good notes and has a great memory for just about anything she’s heard, she’s also quite methodical in preparing for meetings and arranging schedules, she’s capable of managing business for Vixena as well, and can preserve objectivity for meetings, she’s generally well read too and is very smart.
She has no real training in fighting, though Vixena did teach her some stuff about self defense in case someone attacked her. However, since sasquatches are stronger and more durable than humans, she could beat up the average attacker (depending on species) if she wanted to, she’s able to leap further than humans and is comparatively more durable (though her skin is more sensitive), she lacks the trademark bad smell some sasquatches have due to large amounts of perfume being applied to her to keep this under wraps, she also is faster than a normal human and has senses superior to them.
However, what should be noted as far as moving around goes, is that Holly is very clumsy…and strangely agile at the same time, while her high heels certainly don’t help this at all, she has a tendency to blunder about and trip over things periodically, but then oddly enough manage to use the agility she developed via gymnastics to counter it quickly, and move on like normal, she may not be in too much of a ‘form’ for these kind of acrobatics, but she can do pretty well with it, and sometimes can go around without even tripping or falling.
Due to her being a quarter Japanese Bigfoot (which have the ability to fly, but due to her not being more American Bigfoot, she can only fly in a reduced capacity) she is able to levitate under her own power, though not very fast and only really up to about fifteen feet off the ground, she prefers to get around by walking though, as she likes her shoes.
A final couple things of note is that she knows a lot about board games and cosplay, and how to both make costumes and design said games.

Appearance: Holly Krantz is a thirtyone year old female Sasquatch, and despite what one may assume based on her species, she’s actually quite beautiful.
She is about six feet and ten inches tall, and possesses a voluptuous figure, in addition to sizable breasts, some good hips, thighs and legs. She also has a lovely face, and in design it should be sort of ‘African’ in terms of its feel and how it’s built, also take influences from actress Luptia Nyong’o in its appearance. Some sasquatch elements are still in it though, but they are slight compared to how they are in the traditional descriptions of them, while the top of her head may be a little rounded and she has a slightly more prominent brow ridge, it’s not too extreme if you get my meaning.
For hair she has a sizable afro, her fur is brown and her hair is of a significantly darker shade, while the afro is large it is not a round one, and is something in the vein of the one seen here www.deviantart.com/art/About..… though she doesn’t have a headband, and instead flows down a bit naturally.
Holly’s feet are certainly larger than a normal human being’s, but not super large, and despite their size they’re actually quite dainty and soft, they also are not hairy, in truth, despite their size they’re actually very nice looking feet.
For clothes she wears a blue blouse, a tan pair of pants, and a pair of blue high heel shoes built for her specific foot size, generally fitting the archetypical ‘sexy secretary’ look.

Other: Her ideal voice is unknown.
One thing of note is that while a minor character, she’ll have more of a role in one of the other stories set in DV’s Universe. She also could potentially gain a love interest (or be that of another character) later on, depending on what I ultimately decide.
