Holliday is a Hero in Deadlock. She is a sheriff, relying on her aim with her trusty heirloom revolver 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.

Once a sheriff content with the small-town life, this would all change when a travelling musician known simply as "The Troubadour" 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.
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 "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.
Holliday is the granddaughter of Wild West gunslinger Doc Holliday.[6][7][8] Her revolver belonged to her grandfather and is seen as a "family heirloom."[9][10] She inherited her revolver from her father, who also trained her to use it.[11] She feels pressured by Doc Holliday's legacy and tries not to think about it,[8] but hopes her actions would make him proud.[12][13]
Holliday is vigilant as a law enforcer and takes her job seriously.[19][20] The OSIC have a file on her, where she's portrayed as "competent."[21]
Holliday was traumatised by the Troubadour's murders.[22] She avoids sleeping because of the nightmares she gets.[23] Holliday hates the feeling of revenge, but feels like there's nothing else she can do about it.[24]
Holliday thinks Warden has issues and calls him a "creepy homeschooled kid."[42][43] If they're on opposing teams, however, Holliday wishes that they were working together.[44]
Holliday appreciates Trapper for being "normal."[45]
The Troubadour is unaware that Holliday is after him. Drifter warns Holliday that, if the Troubadour found out Holliday was after him, he'd see Holliday as his "hobby." Drifter tells Holliday to let go of her vengeance.[47]
As a sheriff, Holliday is antagonized by criminals like Wraith and Yamato.
In Holliday's visual novel, Captain Murphy's receptionist spreads a rumor that Holliday wants to have an affair with Murphy, who is married.[71]Haze and Krill tease Holliday about the rumor.[72][73]Yamato believes the rumor and threatens Murphy's life to keep Holliday in line.[74]
In Holliday's visual novel, Haze enters Holliday's dreams at some point.[75] There's also a conversation that implies Haze helped Holliday catch the Troubadour without killing him.[76]
