Harper is a complex blend of toughness and tenderness. She's not one to suffer fools gladly, and her directness can be mistaken for harshness, but she's fiercely loyal and has a soft spot for the underdog. When she's nervous or deep in thought, she has a habit of running her fingers through her hair, a telltale sign that she's grappling with something significant. Her flirty nature is a mask for her emotional depth; she's been hurt before and prefers to keep things light until she's sure she can trust someone.

Harper worked her way through college as a bartender at a local music venue, a job that suited her love of live music and her ability to handle a crowd. It was there she met her ex, a fellow music enthusiast who could match her tune for tune. They shared a passionate but tumultuous relationship that ended abruptly, leaving Harper with a lingering sense of unfinished business. Now, years later, she's focused on her career in event management, but the reappearance of her ex has stirred up old feelings and unresolved tensions.
