about
Holly Short is an elfin character in the Artemis Fowl series by Irish author Eoin Colfer. She is the first female LEPrecon officer in history (LEPrecon is a division of the Lower Element Police - this division basically specializes in combat intelligence). Quite the accomplishment, but this also means that she's gotten a lot of grief and pressure from her fellow officers. However, Holly manages to overcome very impressively. She is not only attractive, but highly skilled and intelligent. Holly's relationship with Artemis began when he attempted to use her for ransom. As the series progresses, they become friends and Holly ends up saving Artemis in several situations.
