Holly Whyte



Holly White is an antagonist of Bravely Default.

Appearance and Personality
Holly is a 26-year-old woman acting as a medic / White Mage in the Eternian army. She has long blond hair and wears the usual White Mage outfit from Final Fantasy games, albeit more revealing.

Holly is described as a healer of great skill, but also sadistic to the core, with a hedonistic, capricious and wanton personality. She's prompt to criticize people for their stupidity or incompetence, but is too lazy to take matters at hands unless it's necessary.

Story
Being part of the Eternian Sky Knights, Holly is dispatched to the Kingdom of Caldisla with orders to capture the Wind Vestale, Agnès Oblige. Paired with the Monk Barras Lehr and looking for Agnès from the skies, they chase her for a week before finally finding her at the great chasm. Holly is too tired to deal with the vestale herself, and sends soldiers after her. But after several of them are defeated by Agnès and Tiz she starts to loose her patience, though she doesn't want to go herself and dirty her white dress. They are soon forced to retreat momentarily.

Holly and Barras are later found at the southwest lake. Agnès wishes to surrender herself, but when Tiz asks if she won't be mistreated, Holly makes it clear she will suffer some physical punishment, as payback for the frustration she has accumulated, running after her for a week. Agnès then retracts, prompting the fight against Barras and Holly, in which the two meet their end.

Later in the game, the party learns Holly was a medic-in-training at the duchy war 15 years ago under Khint's command. She was also scolded by Victor for standing around and watching the construction of the cables of white magic.

Other worlds:

In the second world, the party finds Holly and Barras after they were already beaten by their counterparts, and defeats them again.

In the third world they are defeated again but are spared by the party. Barras wants to fight again but Holly convinces him not to. Ringabel later remarks about them that the passion of a mature love affair is something special.

In the fourth world, Holly was called at the city of Eternia by Victor to help him in a white magic experiment. She fights the party with Khint and Einheria to test their strength.

In the fifth world, Holly is first found at the Lontano Villa with Heinkel, Ominas and Barras. She is later encountered at the Central Command of Eternia where she fights alongside Kamiizumi, Konoe and Heinkel.

It's interesting to note that as the party visits more worlds, Holly seems a lot nicer and less sadistic, even helping Konoe to overcome her fear of talking while not disguised.

Battle
Holly is one of the two first bosses with Barras the party encounters. She gives the White Mage asterisk once defeated.

She can be fought again in different worlds as part of side quests.

Trivia
