Personality
Hally is incredibly stubborn and doesn't like listening to others. She always follows her heart and so if she feels something is right she will hold onto it, no matter what others say. She's more than willing to put her life on the line for a friend and is extremely loyal, however when betrayed is hard to earn back trust from. She isn't a fan of second chances in most cases and it can take awhile for her to warm up to someone again after she feels they have betrayed her trust.
Hally is actually quite nice, though, and isn't a mean person by nature. She cares a lot about others, including strangers, and is always willing to lend a hand. She goes by the 'no man left behind' policy and would never intentionally put others in danger. She likes making friends and is rather easy to get along with too.
On the flipside, if you tick her off Hally will absolutely kick your butt. She's not the toughest girl, but when angered can be potentially quite violent or dangerous. She cannot do martial arts like many meisters due to her upbringing, but she can hold her own in a fight at least to a point. She's quite intelligent and gets excellent grades in school and spends a lot of her free time reading and writing poetry.
History
Hally was born and raised in Holsbury, Connecticut as an only child by her extremely religious mother and father. Her life basically consisted of home, school, and church, and her parents rarely let her go anywhere or do much, preferring she focused on her studies and prayer. Because of her many restrictions she often felt secluded from others and never really had any friends growing up. She was often alone and spent most of her free time reading, writing poetry, listening to music, and taking walks on the nearby beach when she thought she could sneak away.
Just this year Hally was inspired to join the DWMA by a cousin who had recently graduated. He'd snuck off and attended the school without the knowledge of anyone in their family, managing to convince his parents it was a Catholic boarding school. Of course, they were horrified to learn the truth. However, Hally found it incredibly inspiring and managed to convince him to help her sneak away and get there as well, excited for a change of pace and a chance to do something she wanted to do. He signed her up, and soon she was enrolled.
Her ankle became very badly I.nursed during a fight with a kishin. The scar is deep and not properly healed due to being reopened multiple times, so it does flare up suddenly now and then, causing her to have excruciating pain often enabling her unable to walk. If reopened in battle it can potentially cripple her, leaving her weak to attack, so she is always especially careful to watch for any attacks that may hit it.
Hally is blind in one eye, though she isn't quite sure why. She has no memories of her life up until the age of seven and whenever she's asked her parents they've skillfully avoided the subject. However, her real eye color is in fact a nice, darker blue that now only shows itself during soul resonance. At some point one eye became blind and the other changed colors to a light green, but again, when or how this happened she is unaware of.
Relationships
Jonathan Cross
Her father. The two aren't incredibly close and are at odds on many things. He's the pastor at their local church and a religious man at heart. Very intelligent and motivated though not the most loving of fathers. He does truly care for her despite their differences, though it often isn't evident. The two rarely get along and Hally is quite frightened of the idea of him finding her and dragging her home.
Mary Cross
Her mother. They're closer than her and her father though not by much. She's a nurse at a hospital in the next town from where Hally grew up and is very religious. She's quite serious, much like her husband, and is very concerned for Hally's future. She worries easily but isn't very warm or motherly in nature. Though her relationship with Hally is better than her husband's, she too is often at odds with her and Hally fears her arriving as well.
Justin Cross
Her older cousin, a death scythe, Justin is a fun loving and kind hearted person. Like the rest of their family, he is very religious, though he takes it in a different light and is much more open minded of things. Whereas their family would faint upon meeting Lord Death, he willing ran away to attend his school. He's a vibrant, hyper guy who's constantly on the move and Hally's biggest inspiration. She looks up to him as a sort of role model.
