Recent Events

A Dance with Dragons

Holly accompanies Mance Rayder along with five other spearwives to Winterfell on a mission to free "Arya Stark", actually Jeyne Poole, who is to wed Ramsay Bolton. Mance disguises himself as "Abel", a singer, and the six spearwives are his mother, wife, two daughters and two sisters who perform the instruments with him.[2] Holly is said to be one of the daughters.

They play at the wedding feast and are responsible for the deaths of several Bolton men-at-arms. They later enlist the help of a reluctant and fearful Theon Greyjoy in freeing Jeyne.[3][4] According to a letter Ramsay sends to Jon Snow on the Wall, Mance was captured and now wears the skins of the six women who accompanied him to Winterfell.[5]
