Harriet Assange

**Harriet Assange** is Abigail Assange's older sister and the adoptive daughter of Max Assange and Aurora Assange. She is a main character in season 3 of the Bitlife Controls My Sims series.

## Teenhood

Harriet was adopted prior to the adoption of Abigail Assange. However, due to Abigail being the protagonist of the series, we are unable to view when Harriet was adopted. Abigail is adopted into the family when Harriet is 15 years old. She is very smart and got the Cheerful and Genius trait. She spent a lot of time with Abigail and the two seemed close. However, since Harriet was 15 years older than Abigail, she also took on a caretaker role when Abigail was younger, helping her parents with the new baby by volunteering to change Abigail's nappy and keeping her little sister occupied.

## Adulthood

At 18 years old, Harriet graduated from secondary school. However, she did not go to university until she was 19 years old, studying Biology at Britchester University. In anticipation of her leaving to go to university, Clare aged up Harriet to a Young Adult with her receiving the Green Thumb trait. Due to the limited space in the house, Harriet's bedroom was converted into a toddler room for Abigail to have prior to Harriet's departure. The sisters temporarily shared a room but being a loving big sister, she used this opportunity to spend quality time with Abigail.

While there is no information in BitLife about Harriet's degree, according to the Sims, Harriet's course included four core classes: (1) Always be Celling; (2) The Strength of Water; (3) Planet Earth; and (4) Do Plants Dream of Pollination? During her course, she lived in university housing (Wyvern Hall) alongside her friend Becky. Her other roommate was Julia Wright. Despite Max and Aurora not being wealthy, according to the Sims game, Harriet did not apply for a student loan. Her course, costing $1,301 per term, was paid for through household funding.

Despite moving away from home, Harriet remained close to her family and was seen to be a very protective sister. She responded to Abigail being bullied by Hayley Ross by attacking them, impaling their belly button and whacking their face. She also made sure to come home and spend time with her family.

Harriet graduated university at 23 and started a new position as a Junior Environmental Scientist (Conservationist in Sims) for Blithe Engineers. BitLife also said that at this point of time, she had moved out of the family household and bought her own apartment. Instead, Clare chose to keep Harriet at home for her to remain close to her family.

It is likely that Harriet moved away from home in BitLife straight after graduation since her parents did not have a lot of money and the family home was small, meaning Harriet would have had to share a room with Abigail again. Securing a well-paying job straight after graduation meant that Harriet could also afford to move away from home.

Knowing that both her mother and father were not very rich, Harriet played a large part in Abigail's life by providing her with plenty of money after landing herself a successful job. The money given was often in four figures, with the first payment being $1,703 when Abigail was only 9 years old. She was still protective of her little sister as well and when Abigail was being bullied again by a girl called Ava Watts, Harriet stepped in and physically attacked Ava, banging her finger.

A few years later (27 years old), Harriet married 34 year old Jesse Smith. They couple met at work with Jesse being a receptionist at Blithe Engineers and they eloped following a whirlwind romance. Harriet changed her name to Harriet Assange-Smith. As mentioned before, Harriet had moved out in BitLife at 23 years old but remained living at home in the Sims. However, after her marriage to Jesse Smith she moved out in the Sims as well. In the Sims, Jesse was created from the Sim Justin Delgato, a married man. Harriet's relationship with Justin/Jesse caused Jesse to divorce his wife.

At the end of episode 11, BitLife showed that Harriet and her husband divorced by the time she was 52 years old. It is unknown why they got divorced but Abigail decided to give Harriet $10,000 as a "thank you" for giving her money in the past and supporting her financially.

## A Little Bit Older, A Little Bit Wiser

Harriet aged up into an elder in episode 15. Harriet and Abigail spent more time together as elders and Harriet came to visit Abigail. Harriet also witnessed the death of her mother Aurora along with her sister Abigail. Harriet attended her sister, Abigail's wedding to Chris Ross, but died 10 years later at the age of 80.
