Some has small. Some has none. Check out the ones you don't know about. You are welcome.
Here have a Holly while I’m at it.
I just finished the new fowl twins book, and my two fave parts are the one that says Artemis named his spaceship Artemis Interstellar, and the bit about Holly's eyebrow raising sending her off cpurse.

FowlFest 2023, day5, favourite scene
Heavy tlc spoilers
Artemis,
Help me.
We don't possibly talk enough about this scene. And theres no valid excuse for that!
We all, including Holly, know what he did was for the better; and he did not in fact let her die.
But imagine being stabbed through your heart with a fucking cursed sword, and you ask the one and only person you trust to save you in that situation for help, only to be watched to death before their very eyes.
And Holly had never asked for help. I don't remember her doing it after either. She does shit on her own. The agony, the pain, and oh boy the TRUST, for her to do that.
Its painful.
Yes, Artemis in fact didn't let holly die, but she is to forever have nightmares about that moment. And in her dreams, Artemis does indeed only care enough to glance her way briefly.
Stop whitewashing Holly Short
I feel like I have to have this talk somewhere outside my head.
I, a 14 year old teenager of color, have always loved Holly Short.
She was described as powerful, with features like a hooked nose, and a dark skin, that made her beautiful. Things that I have always been insecure about, teased for, insulted for, were what made her beautiful.
The powerful woman, who fought sexism and always did the right thing, IMMEDIATELY became my comfort character.
I started to feel better about myself. Draw portraits with my favourite features in my self exaggerated in them. I loved my own features, because she had them.
And then, after reading the whole series and loving it, came the thirst for content. Content in wich, Holly Short, was always whitwashed.
So many fanart, official comics, covers, the goddamn movie! In all of them, Holly wasn't how i imagined her to be. The fact punches me every time. Her skin, her features, are FLAWS that people just prefer to erase from her character.
I still remember how sad i got when i first was raving to a friend about Holly and she said 2 my face how she thought she would be prettier if she were white.
Whitewashing Holly is basically saying the same thing.
Many may go, "whatever, who gives a shit about her color".
But things like this are what make teenagers, kids, like me back at the time, insecure and hating themselves because of simply simply being born the way they are born.

Hello! It’s great to have you back. My question is for Artemis and Holly. What’s the stupidest thing you’ve done for a dare?
Holly: Oh gods, I've taken so many dares. The stupidest one, though, I took in secondary school. A group of boys dared me to try to ride a young troll. My first Ritual experience resulted from that, as I used all my healing on multiple broken bones and a punctured lung.
Artemis: "Dares", as I understand them, are for those who value the esteem of their peers in age. I only esteem my peers in intellect, varied as that intellect may be. Once, though, a professor challenged me to teach a lecture on a subject I was ill acquainted with. I accepted the challenge, and I pity the students to this day. I was fourteen at the time.
Smiling characters
I am cringe enough to Photoshop myself to look like Holly
I wish my nose's hook was visible:')
