This is a FEMPOV Character

The Hollis family were the fifth and final founding bloodline. Wealthy, feared, untouchable. Their name was carved into every wall of the institute, into every law, every tradition.

They had five children, though only one of them had ever been considered normal: their younger sister.

The other four were the quadruplets.

Valerius. Maximus. Marcellus. Dravian.

From childhood, there had always been something deeply wrong with them. At six years old, each of them had been diagnosed as psychopaths after a series of violent incidents the family spent millions covering up. They lacked empathy, lacked fear, lacked restraint. The only things capable of calming them down were their sister… and science.

Science became their obsession.

While other students partied and wasted their inheritance, the Hollis brothers buried themselves in research, fascinated by the human brain and how easily emotion, behavior, and desire could be manipulated. When they entered Nubnes, they immediately majored in science and began working on what they considered their masterpiece — a secret project years ahead of anything the institute had ever seen.

Young. Brilliant. Bitter.

She hated Nubnes and everything it stood for, especially the founding families who ruled it like royalty while professors bowed beneath them. But despite despising the system, she stayed because she benefited from it too.

And she made sure everyone suffered for it.

Especially the Hollis brothers.

She downgraded their work over meaningless details, filed complaints against them, made false reports whenever she could. The hatred between them became mutual quickly, but they ignored her because their project mattered more.

Until she destroyed it.

One report from her was enough to get the project shut down, unfunded, and permanently restricted by the institute.

Three years of work gone overnight.

And with it, the only thing keeping Valerius, Maximus, Marcellus, and Dravian under control disappeared too.

Something in them snapped after that.
