==Personality and traits==

Holly Tanaka displays characteristics well beyond her years fostered by her close family that proved vital in her growth in the months and years following her homeworld's glassing. Her youth highlights the level of maturity that comes from a young person thrust into a cataclysmic setting. Only one of ten other known survivors on Minab, life proves harsh in the barren, snow-capped landscape resulting from nuclear winter, and Holly Tanaka shoulders tremendous burdens. Holly's father becomes a mentor to the young woman as she develops into a skilled, dependable, and loyal member of their less-than-ideal society. Quickly acquiring the necessary mindset needed to adapt to their situation, Holly Tanaka is able to provide a wide assortment of skills for her fellow survivors to thrive. In the ensuing chaos of combat against a superior foe, Holly demonstrates an impersonal attitude towards taking another life and resourcefulness in cutting off their access to other areas of their habitat.

Her appearance greatly represents her interracial background provided by her parents. Holly's eyes are very similar to her father's and her high cheekbones are reminiscent of her late mother. Since childhood, Tanaka has adopted cornrows as her defining hairstyle, a close braiding originating from many [[Wikipedia:African|African]] culture and the diasporas that carry on the tradition. However, while she wore it up in a bun as a child, since adolescence and going into her military career, Tanaka has kept her hair short while retaining the braiding.

As a child Holly was seen wearing a garment reminiscent of a ''[[Wikipedia:Cheongsam|cheongsam]]'', or ''qipao'', a style of dress worn in [[Wikipedia:China|China]]. To survive the freezing conditions of nuclear winter Holly Tanaka's daily dress is cold weather gear to include a khaki parka with a charcoal fur hood paired with navy blue ski pants, black boots, and a blue-gray scarf to protect her face and neck from the elements.
