Harper haile
ma'am | twenty-four | cis female / panromantic |
alto | civilian | junior deputy paranormal investigator |
Appearance
Despite being an adult woman, Harper looks extremely young for her age. A fact not unnoticed by her growing up, or her peers or parents. What started as a simple late bloomer went to a medical curiosity to something genuinely unexplained.
At around 122cm (4' give or take a smige) and carrying the same features since she was very wee, there's just no beating around the bush, she looks like a kid. Pretty much indistinguishable from one in fact. This is often exasperated in her choice of clothing, which instead of trying to adamantly assert her true age can easily be seen as age appropriate for her size. One morning she can wake up and be annoyed at the dumb stupid face in the mirror, but the next morning she can be like.. oh, let's wear my hair up today.. aren't I adorable? Her style can clash together and is often loud, although she does occasionally have an eye for an actually cute outfit.
Her build type is typical of a kid, occasional baby soft things and that sweet sort of softness around her digits and the like. She looks a bit pale has some blemishing on her face, her large eyes expressive and framed by a pair of glasses. Her hair is dark, although she's a natural blonde.
Personality
(I'm keeping the original personality section, but to be honest role playing her turned out to be very different from what I intended and I want to update it so prospective partners understand her really.)
Harper is a somewhat complex... girl.
Although there is a certainly a woman somewhere in there, but a sheltered and somewhat coddled lifestyle has left her with a personality that means there is more than just her looks that makes people assume she's a child.
Harper can be overly aware of her surroundings and has trouble asserting herself at times. She's earnest, but a bit sheltered and not exactly street smart. She isn't the type to say no to anything, her father taught her to be open-minded, and exploitative. She likes to test things, to play with things, to try new things. She's imaginative, and sensitive.
She's denied various interests of hers for a while now, a love of cute things, clothes and Pokemon, that they've become passionate weaknesses. An adorable outfit or a cute little baby Pokemon's cute little face is enough to make her melt and squeal. She finds most Pokemon somewhat frightening, having grown up with all sorts of strange tall-tales of the horrors they were capable of. She really only attaches herself to baby Pokemon, and is a pacifist and doesn't enjoy battling.
She's not quiet sure what to do without guidance, and can be a bit clingy to friends that she manages to make. She's extremely idealistic and good natured however, and isn't the type to be very able to hide her emotions even if she tries. She's extremely gullible and trusting of people, and tries a little too hard to be "grown-up" at times.
History
Harper's life was far from ordinary.
It always seemed like the unexpected found a way of happening in this unassuming little house. If you asked Miss Hale to explain the reason, the first thing she would say is well. that's kinda what's in the job description of a Paranormal Pokemon Investigator.
Of course, Harper was far from anything like that official, although that never stopped her from asserting that was the case. Ever since she was a young child, she helped her father in his studies over Pokemon that just couldn't be explained. Phenomena and creatures coming from other worlds, unreachable planes of existence, and even other timelines and dimensions. The unusual was usual in Harper's house and practically mundane in its own way.
Her mother and father were loving and compassionate sorts, although both eccentric in her own way. Her father especially was always feeding her the tales that would change the way she viewed the world around her, unwilling to see things as ordinary. Her mother was strange herself, but it as an average everyday sort of strange. Often she felt like the plain one in the household, worried that of all the strange things that had her husband's interest.. she wasn't one of them.
Harper's childhood and early adulthood were full of fun, and although the sweet soul had no interest in going out fighting with Pokemon, she found a lot of fulfillment in her life as it was. Being a Junior Deputy of sorts was a thrill and she and her father were the best of friends.
Until.. he disappeared.
To be honest, his family wasn't that alarmed right at first. They certainly looked into things and tried to found him and were concerned, but... surely this just another unusual event right? Or perhaps he had just gotten distracted.. he had left to go meet with some colleagues about a new discovery.
He got caught up in things sometimes. Maybe he felt that he had been told something and had to stay on the downlow.. it could be all sorts of things.
But days turned into weeks, turned into a month... turned to a year.
...
A month without her father had turned Harper's life around. Each day full of laughter and excitement had given away to this sense of dread. Questions that needed to be answer.. when she overheard her mother wondering if perhaps he had gotten bored of her and just... left...
No. Papa was not like that. She would prove it. Something had to have happened. She wasn't his assistant for nothing.
S-She had been meaning to go out and have an adventure anyway, right? She wasn't afraid at all. It might be a great big world for a this pint-sized woman, but she was ready to take it by storm!
