Holly Sykes was absolutely no relation to Bill Sykes. Of course, that was only to be expected as she is real, and he is fictional. Nonetheless, when people encountered her last name, that was their first thought... before they remembered that he was fictional. Holly didn't mind of course. After all, it's kind of funny, if you think about it. How could people be so silly?
Except, of course, that she would have preferred to be pseudo-related to someone a bit nicer. He wasn't exactly a nice guy in Oliver Twist, and wasn't even particularly attractive... not that he was supposed to be, or anything. And Holly did like to think that she was an attractive person. Not only physically, but personality-wise as well. Of course, when people found the really Holly under her layers of deceit, they didn't tend to like her too much. But Holly was careful to never let that happen. What would happen would happen, and it would be much nicer if everyone had a good opinion of her. It certainly helped if she ever happened to, oh, murder someone and try to get away with it.
