Holly Wheeler’s Personality
In Stranger Things, Holly Wheeler is shown to be the innocent and well-behaved child of Karen and Ted Wheeler. Holly initially is known to be an introvert who talks quite less and keeps everything to herself. The character is so reserved that one of the main characters, Lucas, claims that she speaks less than how much Eleven used to speak back when she was still learning to speak. The character of Holly, like her parents, does not realize the reality that goes on in the city.
While she does not know what is happening, Holly has seen sightings of the Demogorgon and the lights flickering in the Byers' house. Holly was also barely able to see the Mind Flayer during the time she was on the Ferris wheel with her parents. While these sightings fascinated the character, there are times when Holly does get frightened. One such instance was shown when both her brother and sister started fighting at the dinner table, resulting in Holly being completely terrified by the situation.
Who are Anniston and Tinsley Price?

How and why Holly has been recast for Season 5?
As the final season of Stranger Things is on it way, the makers of the supernatural drama series have decided to recast the role of Holly Wheeler who will now be played by Nell Fisher. From season one to four, twins Anniston and Tinsley Price played the role of Nancy and Mike Wheeler's little sister and was not too prominent in the show. However, as per Screenrant, the series' makers have now decided to give a major role to the character in the final season, hence leading to the recasting. Intially, Fisher's role in the series was kept under wraps. Considering Fisher is well known for playing roles in horror settings, and is famous for her role in Evil Dead, this seems to be yet another reason for makers' casting her as Holly Wheeler in the upcoming season.
