`GENERAL PERSONALITY»

harper's got many sides to her. she can be your best friend or your worst enemy, and trust me when i say it would be a lot better to be her friend. she's sugar sweet to your face but would stab you in back if your not on her good side. she treats her friends like candy, inviting them to the movies and helping them get dates and other such stuff that friends do for each other. some girls can never tell a lie, others can never tell the truth. she's about in the middle, but she's closer to never telling the truth.

don't think that harper is a complete bitch, because she's not. her best friends are guaranteed her loyalty. you can only lose that loyalty if you do something to break her trust, like steal her boyfriend or something else. if she wants something of yours, she'll attempt to befriend you, then she'll steal what you have. she typically does this with another girl's boyfriend. she tends to be considered quite charming.

harper is not a fan of school, but she always passes a test. she's always been on the honor roll. she hardly studies, yet she makes good grades. some consider that lucky, others consider it horrible. she's been asked to tutor, but she doesn't want to transform into a nerd.

the phrase 'stubborn as a mule' describes harper. when she's set her mind on something, she goes through with it no matter what. it's impossible to change her mind. this would probably be characterized as a bad thing if she plans on doing something bad.

though she finds singing fun, harper doesn't have a very good singing voice, especially with high notes. her voice sounds very sweet, but she doesn't really have any talent with it. she has fun with it though, which is why she does so well with karaoke.

`EYE COLOR» dark blue
`HAIR COLOR» light brown
`TATTOOS OR PIERCINGS» none
`BUILD» slim

`PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION»

harper's never considered herself beautifully gorgeous or extraordinarily pretty. she likes the way she looks, though. the typical standard beauty has blond hair and blue eyes. harper prides herself in having half of that duo. her signature feature is a bright, beautiful smile, showing off her pearly whites. she had braces for years, so she's thankful for her smile. no matter what, you can always find her smiling.

with long, luscious locks of light brown hair, harper is happy to go against the statement that blonds have more fun and get more guys. her hair is naturally curly, but she straightens it whenever she can make time. she definitely prefers it straight. it goes about midway down her back. normally, she doesn't have bangs, but sometimes she'll get her hair cut so that she has long bangs that almost cover her eyes. you can always tell when she doesn't spend much time working on her hair when she wakes up in the morning; when she's feeling lazy, she puts in up in a ponytail or keeps it pinned back a little.

she has beautiful eyes of dark blue gray. she typically just calls them blue. they're always complimented with the perfect amount of eyeliner and eye shadow. she has horrible eyesight so she wears contacts. even if she's feeling lazy in the morning, she will always put her contacts in. you'll only see her with glasses on if you're her roommate and see her after she's ready for bed. she's always wanted contacts that made her eyes purple, but her friends convinced her that she'd look really weird with an unnatural eye color.

harper loves to eat, which disproves any rumors that say she's anorexic. she has an incredibly fast metabolism, which is how she stays so slim. when she was really young, she was on weight gainers because of such a low weight. as she grew up, she didn't have any problems with it. she's actually noticed that she's starting to gain weight very gradually. she plans on laying off so much ice cream.

`CLOTHING STYLE» harper tends to wear whatever is in style, so you'll see her wardrobe change all the time. there are some styles she just never gets into. for example, she never got into the style of uggs. she's going with the flow about converse sneakers though. she has those days where she's in a hurry or just feeling lazy. in those cases, she just wears whatever she can grab from her closet. with her luck, they usually don't match.

`HISTORY»

born and raised near birmingham, alabama, harper could be considered a southern belle. her parents met during high school and became high school sweethearts when they were sophomores. they dated through high school and dated right before they started college. it was very hard for them to find ways to have money while they were in college. they would always visit their relatives so they could have dinner with them because they couldn't afford to go to many restaurants. they busted their butts to buy each other christmas and anniversary gifts. once they'd graduated and found jobs, they were on the fast track to making lots of money. after getting settled with jobs and everything, they had a son named jacob. they were quite upset because they had wanted a girl, but they cared for him just the same.

five years later, harper marie taylor was born. she was raised well, bust she always had to listen to her parents fighting. they were having really bad relationship problems around the time harper was about six or seven. they stayed together for another two years of fighting, but they filed for divorce when harper was nine. she had a good cry over it because she loved both of her parents. they decided to split up everything; they each took half the money, one child, and half of the furniture in the house. her mom and brother moved to california, claiming they wanted to be as far away from harper and her dad as possible.

she was very content with living with her dad, but she had to give up a lot. living in a big house and doing lots of shopping didn't work very well on a teacher's salary. they had to move into a much smaller house. he wanted to send harper to a really good school, but they couldn't afford to pay for many of them. after being rejected to a few top notch schools, she was given a scholarship to cunningham academy in milton, new york. she started attending the school a year ago as a freshman. she was able to make some friends, but she probably made more enemies. she's made very few friends outside of her house. most of the people she gets along with are in the aithne house like her.

`SCHOOL HISTORY» this is her second year at cunningham, having been attending since she was a freshman. she was on the honor roll all last year and is well liked by her teachers. she's gotten a few detentions here and there for talking too much or for passing notes. she got into a fight once ; it wasn't a fist fight, but she and the girl she was fighting with both spat very disgraceful words at each other.
