## Physical Description

RHarper is a short woman (5', 0") with fair skin, dirty blonde/mousy brown medium length straight hair. She wears oval glasses over serious hazel eyes. She is an average weight with a slightly oval body shape. Her features lean towards the round side with a small nose and soft chin. Her outfit is the standard WIDR Admiral Uniform. It appears like a US Navy Admiral but Maroon instead of blue and has gold details. She only wears her cover outside.

## Personality

Harper is very optomistic. She is a natural leader that does her best to keep a positive mindset. She cares for each of her Crewmembers and tries to personally get to know all of them. She is known to be happy and can be calm at some times, but pray to your gods if you make her angry. She has a love for all living things, especially dragons. Harper is great at reading people and it's one of the reasons for her success. She is proud of her position but tries not to take it too seriously, except when she does. She tends to act like she has everything figured out, but actually she's pretty self-conscious and worries she isn't doing enough for her crew. She often doesn't get enough sleep and will overwork herself. In her spare time, Harper loves to read and is even trying to write her own book about dragons. Her cabin is actually quite decorated with fairy lights, book shelves and essential oil diffusers (She loves the smells and candles are forbidden on the ship). There's a very fluffy rug on the floor and she has a few too many pillows. Even though she is one of the oldest people on the ship she doesn't always act her age and loves to explore. She loves a good meal, her favorite breakfast is waffles piled high with whipped cream and fruit. She loves to hang out with the younger members of the crew, but knows and hates that she still has to act like a superiors figure..

## Backstory

Harper was raised by her single mother along side her little half-sister who is 7 years younger than her. She grew up poor and worked from a young age to earn an income for her family. She applied to WIDR at 12 years old and was accepted, but before her work started her mother got really sick and had to be moved to a hospital. Harper had to take a job closer to home to watch her sister and take care of her mother. Harper's mom passed away two years later orphaning her children. Harper begged her only living relative, her aunt to take care of her little sister and Harper applied again to WIDR. She was accepted the second time and became an intern. She worked her way up the ranks and made many friends while she was there. The current Admiral, Atticus Grey, noticed how hard she worked and how well she got along with people and dragons alike. He started to mentor her and groomed her into his successor. She became the Head Scientist at 19 and the Admiral at 24, making her one of the youngest Admirals in WIDR History. She loves her ship, as it's been her home for many years. The paychecks she's sent back to her little sister have allowed her to move out and start her own life. Harper does miss her but is thankful they are both living their dream. She hopes that she made her mother proud and thinks of her every night. As an intern, Harper did tame a dragon, a Goldenmane names Morning who she worked alongside with her entire journey. Sadly, a few years ago Morning passed away due to old age. Harper mourned her beloved dragon and still misses her too. She knows Morning and her mother as still watching over her and that's what keeps her going.
