No More Heroes

Holly Summers first appears when Travis Touchdown meets her on the beach for their ranked match. She asked Travis questions relating to life as an assassin, and said that death is the only truth in life. She expressed disappointment in Travis's naivete, and that he was just an ordinary assassin. Throughout their battle, Travis was trapped in holes in the sand and targeted by her missiles and grenades. After the battle, Travis found himself unable to kill her, much like he had with Shinobu Jacobs. Holly was disappointed by this, and told him that if he can't kill a woman, he'll never be a real assassin. She said that she likes pathetic men like him, and would accept defeat if it came from him. She told him that assassins must die when they lose, and asked him to never forget her. She said that when he spared her, she felt his embrace, before placing a grenade in her mouth, killing herself. Travis asked Sylvia Christel what her name was, and buried her body on the beach.

Trivia

  • After Holly's death, Sylvia briefly mentions Holly's birthplace before she is cut off by Travis. She seemed to be about to say she was born in Sweden, which matches her "North European" nationality from other sources.
