'''Holliday''' is a sheriff, relying on her aim with her trusty Occult 45 and a litany of abilities to take down her enemies. With a Crackshot of her pistol, she can slow and damage her foes from a distance before launching an explosive Powder Keg with her Bounce Pad or a melee attack. To isolate her foes, she can wrangle them with her Lasso and drag them into the attacks of her allies. She is currently playable in the [[Hero Labs]] gamemode.

Once a sheriff content with the small-town life, this would all change when a travelling musician known simply as "The Troubador" began a gruesome killing spree; but when she tracked down and confronted him, he managed to flee. Intending to track him down, Holliday spent six months investigating and deduced that the killer's next target was New York. She's going to kill that evil son of a bitch.

Holliday was added to [[Hero Labs]] on [[Update:October 24, 2024|October 24, 2024]], and released officially in [[Update:January 17, 2025|January 17, 2025]].

{{Quotation|'''A FATE'S TALE'''|

There are people who spent their whole lives dreaming about moving to New York.  Holliday isn't one of those people.  Content with being a Sheriff in a small town, Holliday enjoyed a career where the only time she had to use her gun was when trick shooting at the county fair...then the murders started.

Grisly and inhumane; the bodies were found with their ribcages ripped open... their innards picked apart as if by birds.  Holliday tracked down the killer, a travelling folk musician that the media dubbed "[[Minor characters|The Troubadour]]", but when she confronted him he exploded into a murder of crows and flew away.

That was 6 months ago, and while the murders in central Illinois have stopped, Holliday's investigation has not.  She believes that The Troubadour is travelling to New York, and when she finds him she's going to kill that evil son of a bitch.
