( ELLIE BAMBER, CIS FEMALE, SHE/HER ) — Look who it is! If you take a look at our database, you’ll find that HOLLAND BRIGHT BRYANT is a 22 year old WAITRESS  & MUSIC STORE CLERK that’s been in Chicago for 4 YEARS. According to the file, they’re a mutant on LEVEL TWO with the power of POWER MIMICRY. That must be why they’re QUIET and GUARDED. If you ask me, they remind me of cassette tapes, stacks of old video games, messy red hair, english accents & brightly colored clothing. They are affiliated with NO ONE.

BIOGRAPHY: 

Daniel Bright and Morgan Lee met in college where Daniel was studying to be a geneticist and Morgan was studying biology. The two only met because they both had a work ethic that was better than most of the other students at the college. They quickly found that they both liked to be in the labs at the same time and started hanging out outside of working on their own projects. Though they had few friends, it was no surprise to anyone that the two of them started dating and got married. Both of them landed jobs in their respective fields after graduating with PhDs. Not long after Cassidy was born and the family moved to a comfortable home in Surrey. Three years after Cassidy came their son, Henry. Holland was a bit of an accident, but none the less an excitement to the family. By the time Holland was born, both Daniel and Morgan knew about the existence of mutants, given their respective scientific fields and they were both terrified of anything different. So they sheltered their children. 

While Holland’s childhood was particularly boring and not very interesting, she was mostly raised by her siblings. Until 2003 things in her life were relatively normal. Although the Brights did their best to shelter their children from the news, the two older children were able to pick up on what was going on around them. Holland, being too young to understand, had no idea what her parents were involved with, which was fine enough for her parents. Holland’s life mostly didn’t change, but she noticed her parents pulling away from society more and more. Their Surrey home traded for a house up north in the country. Then things started disappearing: phones, television, radio. The books she had access to, changed to older book, written before her time with no events from the present. She didn't know any better, though her siblings did. When she turned thirteen, her brother left home and her parents became unhinged, opening up their home to other like minded people, creating a community behind closed doors. A humans only society, though Holland didn't know this at the time. 

Instead of going to school like a normal child, the Bright family previously homeschooled their children, then let their community teach them. The people in their community were well vetted individuals. Anything strange or unusual was reported on by other members and then the guilty party was forced to leave, or so Holland was told. If that was actually the case, she wasn't told otherwise. Since most media was banned from their house, so she learned to draw, learned to entertain herself with whatever her parents did allow in the house. Holland grew up hearing arguments between her older sister and her parents about how they were prisoners in their own home, yet they still had more freedoms to leave than Holland ever had. But it was the only thing she’d ever known, so how could she complain? 

Holland always felt like a bit of an outsider among her family members, though she never knew why, nor would she get an explanation for years. Her life was a constant state of not feeling like she could trust or talk to anyone. She grew into a kid surrounded by money, surrounded by people, but isolated and lonely to a point that she was sure other people didn’t live like this. Years and years of asking her parents why they weren’t allowed to leave the house and go into town and why they had to learn from tutors rather than school like some people. She never got an answer.

By the time she was fifteen, her siblings had moved out by then, it was only Holland and her parents. Cassidy did come home often, as she ended up in school not too far away, but Holland never heard from her brother. Holland was told there were monsters in the world. People capable of harming her without touching her. Where she lived, the community her parents created was a safe haven from these monster, since some of them looked like regular humans while others were monstrous beings. Holland was told she was safe at home, safe behind closed doors and away from the general public. “We’re doing everything we can to protect you from them,” her mom said, misty eyed. And who was Holland to distrust anything her mom said? “We want to stop these monsters from hurting people,” her dad told her. Holland believed him. Her parents gave her more freedoms then, more books to read and information about the world around her, even if it was all a lie. Misinformation written by members of the community in order to show her what kinds of people there were in the world. 

Holland believed them, until she was eighteen and found a locked door in the mansion and her parents' Doomsday plan. Their plan to rid the world of the monsters she'd been told about. They'd been working with the American government. They had helped to create a drug that neutralized their power. And soon they'd find a way to weaponize those with powers. Holland's blood turned to ice as she read more. Her parents had blood samples of everyone in the community, including her own blood. Clicking on her own file lead to a discovery that she had powers. Beneath her name: neutralized. But what did that mean? Horrified by this information, she stole a bunch of money from her parents, paid someone to forge documents with a new name, and moved out of the country. If she kept a low enough profile, her parents would never find her. After all, they’d never found Henry. 

She settled in Chicago, a bigger city feeling safer as she could blend in with large amounts of people. That was four years ago. Since then, she has not done much progress on figuring out the mutant world, but he’s still trying to figure out who she is. She’s still very scared of mutants and being one herself. However, she’s trying to be better at it. Holland found out what her power was on accident, by running straight into a mutant. There was a fear response to it and she immediately ran away, scared out of her mind. Now Holland works as a waitress and at a music store, trying her best to stay blended in with her surroundings.

          Crowds  were  not  her  favorite  place  to  be.   Holland  preferred  to  stick  around  places  where  there  were  not  tons  of  people,   but  the  best  way  to  fit  in  way  in  a  crowd.   There  were  gloves  on  her  hand,   she  reached  out  to  look  at  one  of  the  items  at  the  table,   not  realizing  she  was  about  to  bump  into  someone.   “Erm,   I  apologise.”

Building Fearlessness and a Brand in Short-Term Rentals 🚀

Fearlessness First: Words from Ariana Huffington 💬

Starting the STR Sisterhood episode, Stacy St. John shares, “Fearlessness is not the absence of fear; it’s the mastery of fear.” 💪 For Madeline Raiford Holland, this is her mantra, transforming her love for family and brand-building into a successful short-term rental (STR) empire.

The Family Factor 👶❤️

Stacy and Madeline laugh over “toddler self-destruction” and the infamous teenage grunt phase. Despite the chaos of raising two boys, Madeline’s hospitality extends warmth, making guests feel part of her family.

From Lifestyle Brand to Rentals 🏡✨

Madeline’s journey started with her brand, Moderately High Maintenance. Inspired by Rich Dad, Poor Dad, she reimagined her blog into a physical guest experience, collaborating with Purple Mattress and other brands to give guests an unforgettable stay.

Standardized Quality: The Key to a Happy Guest 💯
