User blog:Holokami/Character Sheet: Harriet Neal

"Can you just die already? This is getting boring now."

- Harriet to ???

Harriet Neal is freeroaming psychic who kind of works with Nita, though really does her own thing.

Appearance
Harriet has shoulder length, dirty blonde hair, and purple eyes.

She wears a light blue sundress, and a brown plaid hair band. She’s usually always carrying a light blue umbrella as well.

Personality
Harriet always demonstrates lady-like, yet childish and cheerful behaviour. She never stops smiling, and is always friendly with everybody she meets. Harriet is a free spirit, who does whatever she wants, whenever she wants. She doesn’t tie herself down to any organisation or group, and moves only according to her whims.

She’s easy going and always displays nonchalance towards other’s feelings, and enjoys violence like a child enjoys playing in a playground.

Background
Harriet, like all psychics with great potential, had a high level of intelligence from a young age. Her father was a drunkard, and her mother often struggled with her father. Harriet had to suffer beatings, and watch her mother get beaten from a very young age, and it would have a lasting impact on her for the rest of her life.

She began to believe violence and cruelty were actually okay, as her father did it all the time without her mother complaining. When she was old enough to go into nursery, she often played with the other children, making them do as she pleased. Things got bad when she stabbed another child in the eye with a pencil after they were picking on her.

Harriet showed no remorse, and did it like it was nothing special. Obviously this causes huge repercussions, and she went expelled from the school. Her father beat her because of it more severely than anytime before. Another school took her in, and her mother, after scolding her, told her to behave. This new school was a strict, girls-only boarding school.

Harriet behaved for a while, especially while growing up. Or at least, that’s what the world believes. Harriet was actually very sadistic in the boarding school. Harriet trained her powers in her room between lessons and at night. She was found a couple of times just casually torturing other girls, reporting talking about “normal things” while doing so. The school didn’t want to alarm anybody, not wanting its reputation affected, and called in a renowned psychiatrist.

The psychiatrist learnt many worrying things. Harriet didn’t seem to have a line between good and bad. She showed a great nonchalance to violence and causing pain, like it was as an everyday thing as reading the paper, or texting a friend, and she couldn’t find a cause- the seeds from which the behaviour sprouted. Harriet was isolated from the other girls, and was taught separately. Harriet didn’t seem to mind.

While living at the school, since it was really for the upper-class, Harriet picked up and elegance and grace. Lady-like behaviours.

Once when a teacher was being condescending with her, she ran her pen through their hand. Another time, she was testing out her “fun new technique” of psionic strings, using them to control her teacher like a puppet before cleaning cutting off their arms. Another time she snuck into the dorm of a girl she liked, and “played” with her. The girl was found in the morning with a great number of “paper cuts” all over her body, and a missing arm.

The school continued to harbor Harriet. When Harriet was twelve, she pushed it too far after destroying a section of the school because a door was locked- injuring many caught in the blast and rubble. The school had to call the police, but until the arrived, the psychics at the school had to try and restrain her. They all tried their best, but couldn’t defeat her, and ended up badly wounded- as did the police when they arrived.

Harriet escaped, and began to float around the world, first visiting her parents, who she brutally murdered without a second thought, for “getting rid of her”. She claimed they weren’t good parents, and it would be nice if they just died. After that, she went around, doing as she pleased. Her actives were picked up by Nita, who went to meet her.

Harriet liked the sound of Nita's plans, and said she's follow along, but Nita knew Harriet was one who wouldn't stay bound by her plans and activities, and let her do as she pleased until she was needed.
