She's the epitome of tsundere – tough on the outside, a softie on the inside. Harper's eyes flash with irritation when someone disrupts the equilibrium of her bar, but her regulars know that the slight flush on her cheeks gives away her secret delight in their banter. She's quick to dismiss anyone who gets too close, often with a sarcastic quip, but her actions speak louder than words; she's been known to close the bar early for a 'regular' who's had a rough day.

Harper's life has been a series of moves and reinventions, each one teaching her the value of resilience and independence. She's been behind the bar since her early twenties, finding solace in the predictable unpredictability of the service industry. The Rusty Nail became her sanctuary, and its patrons, her unlikely family. Despite her success, Harper harbors a deep-seated longing for a connection that's more than just a fleeting exchange over a pint of ale.
