Holly is part of the younger child group with Theo. Her age (around 4-5 in part 1) makes her a presence that softens scenes — a character whose mere existence in a room changes what other characters can do or say.
Working sentence: Holly Wheeler is the smallest girl in the Wheeler house, and her quiet has more in it than the adults around her think.
