PERSONALITY OVERVIEW:
Essentially, Harper Adeline Bessett is one spunky girl, and it's probably what landed her in Gryffindor. Overall, she has a fiery temperament with a large load of courage and loyalty to accompany it. She tends to be like a dog in many ways, with that unwavering loyalty to her friends and the people that care for her, and is willing to attack anyone who threatens that. Being somewhat quick-witted, she's especially suited for those kind of situations as she's got a sharp tongue and shooting out insults is about as natural to Harper as breathing. All in all, she's just someone you don't really want to cross.
As far as getting into the nitty gritty of her personality, the people that Harp automatically feel closest to are her family - especially her two younger brothers. Max and Daniel are Harper's pride and joy, and she keeps a picture of them on her person at all times. Her closer friends are usually people she's known for a fairly long while, because it does take a decent amount of time for Harp to be able to trust someone. One of the many quirks that make her who she is. She can be nice when she wants to be, though most of the time she just feels like being blunt and not filtering herself, because this is also the kind of girl who doesn't give a damn about what others think of her.
But of course she has her weaknesses. Harp's a stubborn girl. And with her fiery attitude to boot, it makes arguing with her extremely difficult, especially in very tense situations. She's also extremely impulsive, which to Harper basically means that she acts before she thinks, which can often lead her into trouble. Fortunately Harper likes trouble, but then again that's not particularly a healthy or a good trait either. Her last big flaw is probably that she's easily angered or irritated. Harp is a reasonably passionate person, and emotions stir rather smoothly in her and it doesn't take much to make said emotions bubble to the surface, especially anger. Sometimes Harper can just be a dangerous person to be around.

HISTORY OVERVIEW:
Harper Adeline Bessett was born on April 13th, 1961, to two loving parents - Tara and Alexander Bessett. Her father, a pureblooded wizard, met her mother in Bulgaria during his family's annual trip to a foreign country. He and his friend, who was with him at the time, had gone out to a Muggle restaurant where Tara happened to be working, and she accidentally spilled a hot drink on Alexander's coat, and one could say it was love at first sight. They had a summer romance, and it only got better when Alexander discovered that Tara wanted to come back to Britain with him, as relations with her own Muggle family weren't particularly spectacular and she was looking to make a fresh start.
The pair dated for three years before they got married, though the marriage certainly didn't make the pureblood Bessetts very happy. Alexander became estranged from his family, though his parents didn't have the heart to cut him off, and nine months after their marriage, Harper came into the world. She was a very loved little girl, nobody could deny, and her parents did all they could to take care of her and give her a nurturing and cheerful home.
Harper showed the first signs of magic when she was four years old, during a temper tantrum she was throwing because her parents wouldn't allow her to play outside in a rainstorm. One of her mother's Bulgarian vases shattered from atop the mantel above their fireplace, a place that a tiny four-year old couldn't dream of reaching. Her father was full of pride, knowing that his daughter had inherited the magical gene, and from then on magic was a much larger part of the small family's life, even if Tara couldn't participate as fully as her husband and daughter. Soon afterwards, Tara and Alexander gave Harper her first younger brother, Daniel, soon after her sixth birthday. And five years later, they had her second brother, Max.
It was also that year that Harper received her Hogwarts letter. Her father, oh so proud, took her almost immediately to Diagon Alley, and that was truly Harp's first full immersion into the wizarding world. And she absolutely fell in love, spellbound by all the magic around her. She got her wand, and her pet owl, dubbed Screecher, and all of her needed school supplies. Upon arrival at Hogwarts, it didn't take long for the hat to figure out that she belonged in Gryffindor, and she's spent six years making friends and learning (though the learning definitely isn't her favorite part.) Her younger brother, Daniel, is aspiring to go to Hogwarts the next year as he too has shown signs of having magical blood.
