Bryce Holt → Madelaine Petsch → Grizzly Bear
→ Her Personality
To those she is close to Bryce is the fiercest friend you could possibly hope for. On the flip side however she is not someone you want to be on the bad side of. Whilst she can appear polite and friendly to most, if she doesn’t like you you won’t be left with any doubts that she doesn’t. Unafraid of an argument she is always happy to take people who disrespect her friends or whom she simply doesn’t like down a peg or two. In part this is thanks to her temper which can rise up quickly when provoked even a little bit. This doesn’t always appear as explosive as it sounds though and instead can be seen running through every word she says. She has a talent for bitting remarks, sarcastic comments and subtle digs. That same temper though can ebb away as quickly as it rises up, sometimes leaving peoples heads spinning.
She is also an excellent listener, often listening more than she talks. Whether or not this is a good thing will wholly depend on if she likes you or not. If she does like you she will go out of her way to support you and stand by your side through anything. She is also very decisive, making up her mind quickly and following through with the things she wants to do.

Adam Holt (Father): Bryce is close to her dad. He is a rancher from Wyoming, and had her on the horse with him since before she could walk. He’s come to visit her a few times since she moved and each time pointed out how much she’s changed since then.
Marianne Holt (Mother): Marianne and Bryce’s relationship cooled down a lot when she became a teenager, and never really recovered. They’ll talk on the phone at Christmas, but that’s it.
Alexander Holt (Brother): Alexander is still in Wyoming. He is married with 6 kids and 18 grandchildren. Bryce and Alexander haven’t been close since childhood. He was always meant to take over as the head of their family and as they grew older, they also grew apart.
Minnie Holt (Sister): Minnie is much like Alexander. She is married with 3 kids and has recently had her first grandchild. Bryce and Minnie were close but not as close as she was with Halley. Minnie is always trying to hook her up with single dads or her husbands friends.
Halley Holt (Sister): Halley started riding in the rodeo circuit. When she reached out, Bryce began flying out to see her shows when she could. Bryce has seen her the most since she moved, and their relationship has gotten stronger in the past few years.
Asa Fields (Interested): She kind of expected to hate Asa, based on all of Clara’s complaints over the years, but when she met him there was just something really attractive to her. He invited her out to dinner and she’s accepted, though hasn’t revealed anything to her best friend.
Riley Anderson (Ex-Boyfriend): Riley is an idiot. They dated after he finished college and he had no desire to take them seriously. They lasted for about 6 months before it explosively ended with Clara having to hold her back from attacking him. Riley avoids coming to the hotel now when she is working, for good reason.
Patrick Perry (Boss): Patrick is the general manager and oversees all the employees at the Fields Hotel. They generally get on well, but she doesn’t really respect him or his authority. If she wants something she’ll go over his head to Clara.
Eliza Meyers (Friendly): She likes that Eliza takes no prisoners and thinks she is competent. They actively disagree when it comes to Clara and their squabbles over it usually end in a vague “you don’t know everything...”. Like Bryce however, Eliza’s anger ebbs and flows and they’re usually back to normal with one another when they speak next.
Taye Black (Friendly): Taye usually keeps to himself but Bryce has been trying for years to see what everyone in their clan sees about him. He is always quick and to the point with her but she has seen him smooth talking or chatting up other members. Bryce is unsure if it’s her or something else.
Clara Fields (Best Friend/Boss): Clara is Bryce’s best friend. Bryce was brought over in an exchange program with other Grizzlys in order to refresh the gene pool. She resented the hell out of her parents and Clara for treating her like a walking baby maker. She spent the first 6 months in Chicago trying to get sent home, acting out in every way possible, pissing off everyone possible, especially the Board Members. Finally Clara called her out on it. She made her sit down with a whiskey and they spent hours talking. She had to fess up to what she was feeling, but was surprised that Clara offered her own struggles in return. Their relationship changed that day, especially when Clara clarified she wasn’t looking to match her off to the next guy who walked in. Their friendship grew and when she could have had the chance to go back to Wyoming, she stayed.
Maya ‘Flower’ Hanes (Friend/Teacher): Maya is a chlorokinetic, and Bryce’s flower arranging teacher. Initially it began with Bryce purchasing floral pieces for events at the Fields Hotel, but their equally acerbic personalities blended well with one another's, and she asked for lessons a few months into their friendship. Flower has an eye for design and has similar taste to both Bryce and Clara; as a result all of The Fields Hotel’s arrangements are now under Flower’s care.
Samir Khoury (Herbalist): Bryce mentioned some of her anger issues to Flower, and she brought up Samir’s shop. He’s made her a combination of loose teas. Bryce isn’t totally sure it isn’t just pulled up weeds, but it is working for her.
Cece Mist (Hates): She doesn’t see where Cece gets off at demanding to be changed, and then bringing in her mommy and her money to fight the battle for her. If the reasonable concerns that Clara brought up were addressed, she knows that Cece would have been changed eventually. Now, if she was in the Board’s position, she’d refuse to change her out of spite.
Latasha Mist (Hates): Latasha is a perfectionist. Bryce has had to work with Latasha and her company, Techine for a few events held at the hotel. They would often bump heads and it would eventually lead to Latasha taking full control of the event planning or sending over her assistant to do it. Latasha finding out about the supernatural has made everything worse. She insists on Bryce and the other planners on using their strength or speed for all of her hotel needs now.
Sam Thompson (Hates): Sam is a smug, vindictive and cynical asshole who believes he’s entitled to everything he touches or simply wants. Bryce refuses to bow down to him or to hold her tongue whenever he makes off handed comments about Clara. Bryce knows Sam would make a horrible leader.
Jalen Martinez (Annoyance): Bryce's annoyance with Jalen is purely because of Cece and Latasha. Her hate for them is boiling over to Jalen and it shows.
