## Biography

Harper was born in 2007 in Sulphur Springs, Louisiana. She lives with her mother, Jess, and her brother, Topher. She tells Griffin that her father died when she was young, about four years of age. She is a student at Sulphur Springs Middle School, presumably in the 7th or 8th grade. Harper lived in Sulphur Springs her entire life, which is why she grew suspicious of her mother saying she didn't go to Camp Tremont, when she really did.

## Relationships

### Griffin Campbell

**(2020–Present; Best Friends)** Griffin and Harper became quickly befriended in *Once Upon a Time*. Griffin was new at school and Harper helped him open his locker. Then he sits with her at lunch, revealing that he lives at the Tremont Hotel. He invites her over after school, and the two go exploring to find a secret door in the basement that leads to a bunker. Inside the bunker, there is another secret door that leads to a portal that takes them back 30 years into the past. Their friendship develops during the series, since they need to trust each other not to show anyone the portal, for if it were to fall into the wrong hands, something catastrophic could occur. It is hinted slightly that one of them may have feelings for the other in Season 1. They have also had small fights but usually make up within the episode. Harper reveals to savannah in the beginning of season three. That she does really care about Griffin when he is stuck in 2024. And is worried that they may never be together again in the present.

Thanks to their similarities, fans have begun to pair the two character with one another. Griffin and Harper both to show to truly care for the other, and are willing to potentially fatally hurt themselves for the other.

### Jess Dunn

**(Birth–Present; Mother and Daughter)** Jess and Harper have a regular mother-daughter relationship. However, further into the series we see their relationship go a bit down-hill. Jess is over-protective of her and Topher, forbidding them from going near the Tremont. After realizing that Harper was sneaking out, she and Griffin's Mom team up in-order to separate their kids. Once when Harper went through the portal, she found out that Jess went to Camp Tremont. When Harper asked her mom if she went, she said no. , she calls the police to organize a search party, since Harper and Griffin couldn't be found. When they are later spotted in the Tremont, she is not punished for running away. Instead, Harper is taken to the Cemetery of her father, since Topher said that she went there often.

### Chris Dunn

**(Birth–Present; Father and Daughter)** Harper remembers her father much more than Topher does, which is why she went to the past to try to fix all that had happened.She set the dials to 2011 and went to stop her father on the road. Thinking he died in a car crash, she lied that her bike was destroyed and that she needed a ride. She thought she had saved him from the crash, but went back to 2020 and saw that everything was the same as before. Then she remembers he had died in a lake and went over to the Tremont to sit in the basement.

### Topher Dunn

**(Birth–Present; Siblings)** Harper is Topher's older sister. They have a good brother/sister dynamic and are mostly kind to each other. Sometimes, Harper takes advantage of his gullibility by bribing him so she can sneak out to the portal.

## Powers & Abilities

### The Sight

Inherited from her grandmother, Marie Dunn and her great-great grandmother, Grace Tremont, Harper possesses "The Sight", a rare inherited psychic ability that allows her to see the future, making her a seer. This ability was activated for the first time, when she dipped her hand in the springs for the first time, triggering and fully activating her ability to see the future, allowing her power to be triggered and activating at any-and-all times, as she now has full access to her gift. It apparently skips one generation each, being given to one daughter, skipping the next, then going to the next daughter, as her great-great grandmother, Grace had the sight, skipping her great-grandmother, Daisy and her grandmother had it as well, skipping her father, due to the gene skipping him and him being a male, then passing onto Harper.
