8Holga’s Rage
While it ’s commonly known that Holga , as a peasant , is a strong and stout reference , there are many other abilities built-in to her character social class that she display throughout the film that are not as obvious .

Another aspect of Holga ’s barbarian course of instruction abilities number in the armor she wears , or rather , does not wear inDungeons & dragon : award Among stealer . While Xenk is clothe in plate armor , Holga appears to wear little more than a leather tunic with minimal plating on the breast and no sleeves .
