History[]
Much of Miss Holloway's past remains shrouded in mystery. Miss Holloway previously worked with three other girls, possibly with similar powers and problems as Hannah Foster. However, Miss Holloway was unable to save these girls from their fate, though said fate is left unspecified. She's also implied to have been a pop-star during the 1980's, but the world forgot about her when she took on a new identity.
Miss Holloway has a history with Wilbur Cross. The two appear to have fought each other in every one of the Hatchetfield timelines, with either one winning "half the time." Whenever Wilbur wins, he takes the denim jacket from Miss Holloway's body, which implies that she is dead in the Black Friday timeline. The exact cause of their fighting is unknown.
Miss Holloway has made a deal with some unknown entity, which grants her immortality. It is nearly impossible for Miss Holloway to die, but in return, any time she tells someone about her past, they are made to forget immediately. Whenever Miss Holloway assumes a new identity, everyone forgets what she looked like and only remembers small parts of their time together.
The Witch In The Web[]
Miss Holloway first appears when receiving a call from Duke Keane. She is called in to actively work with Hannah Foster on her nightmares as a result of Willabella Muckwab residing in her head. When questioned about Nightmare Time by Miss Holloway, Hannah reveals that Nightmare Time started when Webby disappeared. The use of the name Webby actively startles Miss Holloway, who appears concerned to hear Hannah talk about her. In a private conversation between Miss Holloway and Duke, Duke reveals to Miss Holloway that Lex, Hannah's sister, and her boyfriend, Ethan, were arrested for selling Pamela's painkillers and were sent to jail. This causes Miss Holloway to theorize that it was losing Lex that caused Hannah to lose Webby.
Later, Miss Holloway promises to help Hannah get the witch out of her mind. She reveals she is the owner of the Black Book, much to Hannah's distress. However, Miss Holloway calms her and the two use the book to allow Miss Holloway to access Hannah's Nightmare Time. The two walk through the forest of tree-people, who all warn Hannah not to continue. Despite this, the two continue on deeper into the wood, where Miss Holloway notices that the attire of the tree-people begins to get older as they get deeper, especially pointing out Casey, a tree-girl who asks Miss Holloway for an autograph. As the witch's hut comes into sight, the tree-people spring to violent life and scream, which scares Hannah, and she slips out of Miss Holloway's grasp. Hannah gets stuck in the memory of Willabella Muckwab's and to save her, Miss Holloway pulls Hannah into her own Nightmare Time.
Miss Holloway's Nightmare Time is revealed to be the Starlight Theatre. In it is a three-girl creature made of the three girls Miss Holloway couldn't save welded together. The two begin to walk towards the glowing door that will give them access back to Hannah's mind. After Hannah accidentally resurrects Wilbur Cross, it is revealed that she killed him and that the two are enemies. In order to allow Hannah to escape, Miss Holloway enters a fight with Wilbur. He possesses the sleeping Pamela, using her to choke Miss Holloway's real body. However, Hannah is able to stop this with a burst of psychic energy which expels Miss Holloway from her own nightmare. After this, Duke and Miss Holloway are left to wait as Hannah fights against the witch in her mind.
When Hannah wakes, Miss Holloway and Duke are waiting for her. Miss Holloway promises to get Lex and Ethan out of prison and is about to leave. However, before she does, she gives Hannah a Hatchetfield Nighthawks baseball cap, claiming she always gives something to the children she helps, to remind them of the warriors they've become. She then drives away through the Witch Wood
