Name:Harriet
How does she feel about her name?:She finds that the name Harriet is the only normal thing about her. No one could suspect someone with the name Harriet to be someone other than a perfect, nice, generous person. Harriet was given her name by her grandmother, who shared the name as well. Harriet didn’t have any family members who would take her in, only her grandmother who loved her like she was her own child. They like to go on hikes to see the view from the top of the mountains, fishing which wasn’t really about the fishing but was mostly about Harriet’s grandmother telling Harriet stories of when she was young and all her fun antics, and especially catching fireflies in the jars they make together. One day, Harriet and her grandmother went to the top of a hill and watched the fireflies dance around. Harriet was taken for surprise when her grandmother said those words to her, she cried on the spot.
“From now on, you’ll be named Harriet”She didn’t know why that name made her cry so much, but It did. Harriet never had the chance to be called by a name, or even get the chance to have one. Most people address her as ‘you’ or ‘kid’, others as ‘pal’, and sometimes ‘darling’ but It was never enough for her. She never wanted anything in the world but to get called by a name, and her grandmother did just that. It’s even better that she was given the same name as her grandmother, who was always her role model growing up. She was happy to be named Harriet, and dreams to be just like her grandmother. It may be something small to others, but to Harriet, it’s one of the most important things about her and one of her most favorite memories of her grandmother.
Gender:female
What does she do:She works as an amateur “botanist”, who has a small shop filled with all her plants - cactuses, ferns, orchids. All Harriet really does is water her plants and trims them once in a while to make pretty. She isn’t much of a botanist, she could wish, but she mostly says she’s one because It sounds like such a prestigious title to have. Really on her spare time, besides taking care of her plants she likes to make custom stuff for people, mostly the people she knows which say isn’t that many. She absolutely loves to see her customer’s faces light up when they see what she made for them.
Moodboard (small):https://sta.sh/0b0hhc64dpfSong:Siamés - FirestormReason behind song:While I was scrolling through the comments and bio of the song, I came across an example of what a firestorm is. “Firestorms are the most violent and unpredictable phenomenon of nature.” I thought back to this character, or in other words Harriet, and thought It would be a perfect and suitable song. Just like a firestorm, Harriet is unpredictable and can sometimes act as a danger to others. However in a way, instead of fearing her, you can empathize with her. The song lyrics serve a purpose in my song choice as well. Judging from my point of view, It seems like a battle of man vs man, or a person against themselves. That’s where Harriet comes in. She has inner demons that she fights with constantly as well, and this song does not only empower her to not give up to them but It also provides an escape for her. There is always a time where people can’t keep everything in and they’ll just blow. And sometimes it’s destructive and dangerous. This is the same for Harriet, she’ll get enough and blow up, It’s destructive but at the same time It’s understandable because It’s normal, It happens to everyone.
^^I hope that makes sense. Harriet is kind of like a villain in way, not the evil cruel kinds, but the ones with sad stories which is the cause of all their actions. And yet whatever they do, you’d still feel bad for her and could relate to her. What a villain really needs is some sort of escape, for Harriet in this case It’s music. It helps her calm down at her time of need when there’s nobody around
