  Christmas Comes But Once a Year
  Christmas Comes But Once a Year
  
  Holly Daye
  Background
  Holly Daye (yes, that’s her real name) had 
  a gift when she was younger. She could 
  tell when one of her classmates was lying 
  and when he or she was telling the truth. 
  She could also tell the depth and breadth 
  of their naughtiness and whether the lie 
  was just a white lie or whether a child was 
  rotten to the core. She had a very diffi cult 
  time growing up, judging those around her 
  far too harshly. Couple this with her other 
  latent powers developing as she got older 
  and it’s easy to see why she lived more and 
  more in her own little world.
  In that world, she saw herself as the em-
  bodiment of everything that Santa Claus 
  stood for. All the good boys and girls would 
  be given presents by Santa and the bad kids 
  didn’t deserve anything but a lump of coal 
  (or even a severe beating). As Christmas 
  has become more and more appropriated 
  by the Big Box stores and turned into a con-
  sumer frenzy, so did her delusions grow.
  Now, she has set out to make the world 
  better for everyone. She aims to ensure 
  that there is only one Saint Nick and he is 
  the one who literally rides around in a sleigh 
  delivering presents. He speaks to her. She 
  is his number one helper. She is Santa’s wet 
  works.

  Christmas Comes But Once a Year
  What you’re reading right now is a FREE holiday themed Capes, Cowls and Villains 
  Foul release. It isn’t an Issue exactly, but it is chock full of ideas to help Editors 
  make their own.
  Meet Holly Daye, a delusional young woman whose obsession with Christmas and 
  her warped sense of reality make her a truly dangerous individual. Read her Back-
  ground to find out all the details.
  At any rate, Holly views her life work as a combination of several things:
  • To ensure that Christmas does not get over commercialized. She has been 
  known to break into stores selling Christmas items anytime before Thanksgiving 
  and destroying their displays.
  • To rid the world of the fake Santas. They are a gross misrepresentation of the 
  wonderful, magical man at whose will she serves. She will brutally beat to a pulp 
  anyone pretending to be Santa.
  • And lastly, and most importantly, NO BAD KIDS GET PRESENTS! Given her 
  amazing gifts, she is able to tell the good kids from the bad kids (her power 
  doesn’t work once a person hits puberty) and she will do everything in her power 
  to replace the commercial garbage that Santa has to use, channeling his incred-
  ible, amazing power through the parents of such children, with nothing but coal. 
  She will break into houses, find the gifts, and replace everything with coal. On the 
  flip side of this, she has been known to make sure that a good kid who might not 
  get a present does get one! But given all the heresy out there, it is hard for her 
  to keep this up!
  She has already started her twisted crusade. There are reports of her beating up 
  mall Santas, news footage of her destroying a Christmas display in a store front 
  and numerous accounts of children locating the presents their parents hid... only 
  to find boxes of coal in their place.
  How will your Heroes stop her? Is there any point to teaching her the true spirit 
  of Christmas, or is she just an incredibly deluded young woman who needs to go 
  away for a long time?
  HAPPIEST OF HOLIDAYS TO ALL OF YOU FROM ALL OF US AT SPECTRUM GAMES!
  Going Darker
  The default version of Holly Daye depicts her as a deranged woman capable of 
  violence... but she’s still a relatively light-hearted villain. If you want something with 
  a bit more of an edge, you can make her truly psychotic. Rather than beating up mall 
  Santas, she tracks them to their homes and murders them in cold blood in front of 
  their families before giving gifts to their children (or coal, if appropriate). Instead 
  of destroying store displays, she blows up the entire store buildings (How dare 
  they insult Christmas with that rubbish, after all?).
  With a bit of work, you can make Holly a genuinely feared villain capable of committing 
  chilling atrocities.
