.:Name:. Harper McIntyre| ~ • ~ | Character Basics | ~ • ~ |
.:Nick Name:. Harp
.:Affiliation:. Arkadia
.:Age:. Eighteen
| ~ • ~ | Appearance | ~ • ~ |
.:Physical Appearance:. Harper stands at an average height and has deep red hair that falls just past her shoulders. Fights since landing on the ground have left her slighting brittle, and the mountain took its toll, but she has been training hard. She is slender compared to some, though she uses her slight size to move quickly. Though she has been through a lot, she has expressive features and light brown eyes that are always wide with intent. She is pretty—but in a softer, girl next door kind of way that makes her blend in well with the others. Some would say that she is average in every aspect, but she has a contagious smile that lights up a room.
.:Height:. 5'7
.:Portrayed by:. Chelsey Reist
| ~ • ~ | Personality | ~ • ~ |
.:Personality:. Harper is strong; she has always been the kind of person who is willing to put herself between those she is protecting and those who threaten them. Perhaps this is why she has always been on the defence, even on the ark. She is empathetic, curious and even sometimes a little too frivolous with her emotions. The girl forms strong bonds with people that she trains with, works with and protects and is never far from a friend. Being alone has always been difficult for her, but lately it seems as though all of her friends are falling.
.:Special Skills:. Harper knows how to shoot, but her protective instincts are what have gotten her this far. Her resilience is what she is known for. Most of Harper's 'special skills' are traits that she has developed on the ground to survive and deffend.

.:Birthplace:. The Ark
.:Family:. Harper's father died from a flu strain and her mother grew mentally ill when she was young. She didn't have a very supportive family life.
.:Occupation:. Guard / Bellamy's Militia
.:History:.Harper was arrested when she was fourteen after getting in deep with one of the Ark’s sketchier traders. She was trying to trade stolen farm station supplies for extra rations but because she refused to trade sexual favors for the supplies that she needed the trader ratted her out. It was traumatizing for her to say the least... Nobody could understand why she was doing it in the first place... But they didn’t know how Harper grew up. Her mother was neglectful after losing her husband to a flu virus. She began hording supplies and avoiding work. She would make Harper miss school to take care of her mother’s responsibilities and if she didn’t she would be punished.
One of her mother’s favorite punishments was taking away Harper’s rations. It was tough, because if she missed school Harper would get herself into trouble and if she didn’t do what her mother wanted she would be punished. After being threatened by staff to attend school, she had gone far too long without rations. So... she did what she had to do to stay fed and to stay in school. It wound up backfiring though, so until she was seventeen she was kept in prison. Still, she was taken care of there. Much more than she had been by her own mother who was later floated for neglecting her duties.
Being sent to the ground... it was like a new beginning. Harper’s protective instincts took over. She became one of the leading gunmen in Bellamy’s militia and even after that did everything she could to protect those on the ground against anyone who tried to harm them. No matter what she went through.
