===Conscription===
Holly was orphaned at a young age during a [[Covenant]] attack on her home colony. When she was four years old,{{Ref/Reuse|g362}} she was conscripted into the SPARTAN-III program developed by [[Colonel]] [[James Ackerson]], along with other orphans who had volunteered to become Spartans. She and the other SPARTAN-III candidates were trained on the planet Onyx by [[Senior Chief Petty Officer]] [[Franklin Mendez|Mendez]], survivors of [[SPARTAN-III Beta Company|Beta Company]] [[Lucy-B091]] and [[Tom-B292]], and Spartan-II [[Lieutenant Commander]] [[Kurt Ambrose]]. Holly was assigned to [[Team Saber]] under the command of fellow Spartan-III [[Ash-G099]].
When Holly was around 5 or 7 years of age, she was orphaned during a Covenant attack on her home colony. Around [[2546]], she was conscripted into the SPARTAN-III program developed by [[Colonel]] [[James Ackerson]], along with other orphans who had volunteered to become Spartans. She and the other SPARTAN-III candidates were trained on the planet Onyx by [[Senior Chief Petty Officer]] [[Franklin Mendez|Mendez]], survivors of [[SPARTAN-III Beta Company|Beta Company]] [[Lucy-B091]] and [[Tom-B292]], and SPARTAN-II [[Lieutenant Commander]] [[Kurt Ambrose]]. Holly was assigned to [[Team Saber]] under the command of fellow SPARTAN-III [[Ash-G099]].

===Battle of Onyx===
====Initial attack====
====Initial attack====
On [[2552#October|October 31, 2552]], Holly and the rest of Team Saber were competing for top honors along with two other Gamma Company fireteams. During the training exercise, Team Saber moved dangerously close to [[Zone 67]] to avoid the other teams. The team spied what they assumed at the time to be a new type of Covenant aircraft or drone, noting that it had [[Energy shielding|energy shields]] and seemed to use [[anti-gravity technology]]. Unknown to them, it was in fact one of a group of [[Forerunner]] [[Onyx Sentinel|Sentinel]], which had awoken in response to a pulse from the destroyed [[Installation 04]]. Team Saber decided to investigate and engaged the Sentinels, but upon being faced with the machines' deadly [[Directed energy weapon|energy weaponry]], Holly and the rest of the team were forced to split up and retreat.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 117-120''</ref> Holly became cornered by a Sentinel at the edge of a cliff, but was rescued when Ash hurled a rock at the Sentinel, distracting it. The Sentinel then chased Ash into a crevasse, after which Holly and the rest of Team Saber dropped boulders on the Sentinel and destroyed it.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 130-134''</ref>

Some time later, Holly and the other survivors were joined by the SPARTAN-IIs of [[Blue Team]]. After a plan was made to destroy a trio of Sentinels patrolling the area, Holly and Team Saber scouted out a tunnel to trap a pair of Sentinels in, and Dante rigged it with explosives. Kelly led the Sentinels on a chase through the tunnel, which exploded behind her and successfully destroyed the Sentinels. After the team destroyed all Sentinels in the area, they moved into an excavated Forerunner city within Zone 67. Once there, they discovered the [[Cartographer|map room]] of the Onyx installation, and discovered the location of the lost [[Team Katana]]. Before they proceeded to use Onyx's [[teleportation grid]] to translocate to Katana's position, they were contacted by AI [[Endless Summer]], who urged them to launch a strike on the installation's [[Sentinel manufacturing facility]], thus cutting off the stream of Sentinels swarming throughout the planet.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 313-314''</ref>

After successfully shutting down the Sentinel production facility under Onyx's north polar region, Holly and the rest of the team arrived at Team Katana's holding area to find the group contained within an array of Forerunner [[slipspace field pod]]s. Dr. Halsey deduced the purpose of the [[shield world]], and also found out that [[Joyous Exultation Covenant|Covenant forces]] nearby had pinpointed the location of the group and were on the way with large numbers of troops to attempt to stop them.

The humans then fell back into Onyx's [[core room antechamber]] and made a stand at the entrance to the [[ONI Research Facility Trevelyan|shield world]]. During the battle, a pair of [[Mgalekgolo]] moved to fire upon Kelly-087. Holly took the blasts from both Hunters' [[assault cannon]]s, saving the older Spartan but at the cost of her own life. She was vaporized by the blast, leaving only two footprints where she had stood. Ash was visibly distraught by her death.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 360-362''</ref> After successfully escaping into the Shield World, the surviving Spartans would hold a funeral and memorial service for their fallen companions.
