One of her main traits is her incredibly strong individuality. In the beginning of the book around chapter 3 she is trying to make her own decisions about joining the selection. When Aspen tries and bring down the mood she takes control. She doesn't let anyone run over her. Kind of like her being head strong.

She allows herself to believe all she is told. She also allows herself to believe that being treated as she is is going to make her better, when in fact it is only making her worse. Her being sent up in a room, like a penitentiary will add loneliness to her illness. Her being told not to write or not to go and see family and friends, again, adds to her loneliness. She is separated from society. Therefore, she feels as though she is alone in society. She gives into the fact that the male-dominated society would rather her alone, than be with lots of women and cause chaos. She gives into everything the world wants instead of listening to her inner self. She ignores herself, causing her to act out in madness.

At the age of 20, while she is in college, we can see how her childhood environment had influenced her current state. She tells her friends she is above the genders and does not need human sexuality to give birth. This can be connected to her overprotective environment, particularly when sex and dating were concerned in high school. Her parents had high demands, so she decided to become a politician. There is nothing wrong with being ambitious, but her reasons included switching souls with a senior state senator which gave her access to his thoughts and memories. Her ambition does not stop at being a politician, she also wants to single-handedly save the world from nuclear destruction. This is a prefect example of visions of grandeur success that people often see in their episodes of mania. The reason can be traced back to the over-demanding environment she grew up in.

and she’s shown to be actively rooting for James, Kara and Lucy time and time again. Similarly, Lucy could have easily become the nasty ex-girlfriend, but instead she and Kara become friends. Everyone has depths, even secondary characters you ordinarily wouldn’t expect to see any depths from. And that’s so exciting. And that, in turn, is but one of the many reasons why you should be rooting for this upbeat, zany

“A kindred spirit crazy enough to keep on trying.” This explains why she continues to save Rufus’s life and help the other slaves in ways that could endanger her life. She adapts to the situation at hand, as well as Kevin and she never stops trying to do what she feels is the reason she is there. Kevin never stops looking for her, and never gives up hope of her return. This are reflection and connection to the fact that slaves never gave up on hope that things could change. They worked and worked and prayed and prayed that things would someday be a little bit different, or

Holly is not sure of whom she is yet. She is constantly reminded of her past although she’s still running from it. It angers her when she is given a dose of stability.
