WRIGHT, harper - elemental

NAME: HARPER WRIGHT. Harper's mother is a great afficionado of American 20th-century literature, and naming her daughter after Harper Lee is not the worst thing she could have done. Harper's middle name, Gabrielle, was also the name of her maternal grandmother, and it is very much her 'home name'.

[/b]: As mentioned above, Harper's family call her GABRIELLE or GABI, and she is not particularly impressed by this - she prefers her first name, honestly, even if people do insist on shortening it to HARP, HARPY and variations thereof.
[/ul]AGE: 17 years old.
GENDER: She's FEMALE with the boobs to prove it. She'll show you if you want.
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: BISEXUAL, with a preference for men. Having gone to a rather cloistered all-girls' school prior, she's had... bad experiences with other females. B|

[/b]: SECOND.
RACE: ELEMENTAL, specifically one of the UNDINE.

POSITIVE PERSONALITY:

NEGATIVE PERSONALITY:

HOBBIES:

• SPORTS - she took up 'physical activity' in order to 'expand her repertoire', bascally code for 'she wanted something to make her stand out more on the college application'. But the outlet for the restless energy does her good - she's a keen sprinter, good at it despite her small frame, and additionally plays hockey as a forward. She's greatly fond of football or soccer to the ~ignorant~ but tends to get very tied up in strategy.
  
• SHOPPING - typical pastime for the girl with daddy's credit card, of course, but Harper is a firm believer in 'retail therapy' and the act of buying things isn't what she does it for. She enjoys the entire experience, wandering from store to store, trying things on and touching nearly every item of clothing on the rack. She often ends up going out to buy one thing and coming back with something else entirely.
  
• CRIME DRAMAS - A child of the CSI generation, that's for sure. She's a great lover of any sort of crime, mystery or detective show, taking childish delight in trying to figure out who killed the victim and how.
  
• COMPUTER GAMES - Harper jokingly describes her laptop as 'military-grade hardware' and to be quite honest, she's not far off. Top of the range, quad-core, with customised everything from the graphics card to the heatsinks, solely because she adores gaming. She sticks mostly to first-person shooters, leading often to the rather eerie sound of firefights coming from her dorm room.
  

FEARS:

• BEING ALONE AT NIGHT - She's been brought up with a rather massive belief of 'stranger danger' and will flat-out refuse to walk around alone in the dark. Even when accompanied, a combination of said fear and her tactile nature will result in her literally clinging to the arm of the person accompanying her.
  
• TIGHT SPACES - She's slightly claustrophobic. Not to the point where she has trouble where she has trouble with elevators, but if her movement's restricted in any way then she becomes distinctly nervous and edgy.
  
• OPEN FLAMES - Perhaps just a manifestation of the fire-water opposition, perhaps because she's clumsy enough without there being things to set her alight nearby, likely because the effect of open fire on the atmospheric water makes her feel quite sick.
  
• STINGING INSECTS - Having only been stung twice, it might seem a little odd, but Harper is in fact allergic to the stings of the entire Apocrita sub-order and tends to get very jumpy around them. If she notices the presence of a wasp, hornet or bee, she will either run away or take homicidal pleasure in killing them.
  

AMBITIONS: Harper is English, and fully intends to return to her native country to attend university. In fact she has her sights firmly set on GOING TO AN 'OXBRIDGE' UNIVERSITY, and much of her current situation - even being in America in the first place - is based in her attempts to give herself an 'edge' over the other candidates applying in about a year's time. She intends to study Chemistry as a pure subject, with the intention of going into research.


POWER TITLE: atmospheric water manipulation! how catchy seriously i got nothing

[/b]: Her 'gift', ah yes. She's decidedly annoyed with it, to be honest - others can summon their element from nothing, do amazing things. And she, well, drew the short straw apparently. Harper's only control over water is the rather subtle ability to manipulate the water in air, in other words being able to directly influence the humidty of localised areas. Effectively, it involves pulling water vapour out of the atmosphere and condensing it into liquid, and in reverse atomising water to vapour. So far it's only really helpful in acting as her own ad-hoc dehumidifier, and even then can only really be used in enclosed spaces - the effect is localised around her own body, after all, and diffusion means any action on an open-air environment will be like spitting in the ocean. She's working on applying it in a 'bubble', but so far it's not going incredibly well.
