Biography
Harper's upbringing wasn't the best. She is a native to Gotham's concrete jungle, The Narrows, and often times seen things that would leave another person hopeless. She and her brother Cullen suffered abuse and often times starvation at the hands of her father, who would also disappear for stretches at a time leaving the two children alone to fend for themselves. Whenever her father broke something, Harper would fix it, learning those skills from her buildings superintendant.
Eventually, when she was old enough, she applied for emancipation from her father and took her brother with her. Never escaping the Narrows, she found a small little corner for them to survive in, and while needing money for food to eat and to make rent, she applied for a job to work with the city's electrical engineer district. While she had no certification and degrees, they saw her skill and ingenuity as an asset and allowed her to continue to work on Gotham City's grid while attending school, in which she eventually graduated.

Character Details
Harper's a tough as nails kid, often times a smart ass with a funny quip or a random joke to cement the situation. She's prideful of her accomplishments, most of which come at a cost or were no easy feat to overcome. Her determination often times causes her to be a bit bullheaded about a situation, for whatever she wants she'll rock the boat just to get. Other than that, she's a cool person, though she's the type that wouldn't put anything past another person which makes her secretly wary and cautious.
Electromechanical Savant |
Harper can fix anything. Ever since she was a child, she hung around her buildings landlord and watched him work miracles with what little he had. He passed on his gift to Harper, who had an uncanny knack and ingenuity to follow his instructions by the letter and improve with her own designs. Her skills were noticed, which in turn landed her a job to work on the city's electrical infrastructure as an engineer. Ever since, she's set to repair the grid and improve upon it. |
Resolve |
It's hard to keep this girl down. Determination is a gift that's given to the bold. Telling her no would just make her push harder. Saying that she can't do it would make her give it all she's got. It's hard to sway this one away from danger or obstacles that she can't get pass. Because she will do it, come hell or high water. |
Survivalist |
Child abuse, emancipation, she's making it on her own with her own place in the Narrows. She's lived in the concrete jungle for two years with her little brother, and also managed to graduate high school without fail, as well as keep a job while having the weight of the world upon her shoulders. She can survive, and she takes it by any means necessary, willing to scrap, fight, do whatever it takes to keep living and breathing so that her brother has a chance at a better life in Gotham. |
Scrapper |
Harper can fight. Sort of. She's not the best by any means necessary. She wasn't trained in a dojo, she didn't have a Grand Master teaching her several styles of Shaolin Kung Fu nor did she live with a ninja cult clan that gave her some sort of ninjitsu like god powers or.. whatever! She was born and raised in the School of Hard Knocks, where Granny baked a cake and shanked the nearest dude who tried to grab a piece without saying his prayers. Where old Johnson in the back didn't scream 'Get off my lawn!', he just opened his trench coat and showed a shotgun on a loop just itching to be fired.
Harper grew up there, natural born fighter. She ain't no Donnie Yuen, yet. |

Gadgetry |
Gadgets, she has them. She can make a vast array of gadgets, mostly favoring gadgets that emit electricity or some form of electromagnetic pulse. But, either way, she's an inventor, starting at a young age, she's always had a natural affinity, her creativity also playing a hand at the items and gadgets that she could possibly invent. Even if there was something that couldn't possibly exist, it doesn't mean that she wouldn't try. All she needs is her tools of the trade, and a quiet space to work it. |
Batman |
For someone to actually care for her and her brother, a bunch of nobodies was something that marked Harper for ever. It wasn't just a regular person. It was the Batman. She's heard rumors of the caped crusader as a child; and once he became known, she always had a tiny shred of respect for him. This grew when Batman saved her and her brother from a gang of bullies, in which Batman scared them into leaving the two kids alone. Ever since then, she became a true blue fan for the Bat.
Almost like eye for an eye, Batman was in need of saving and Harper was there. His life was almost lost and she brought him back. Ever since then, the fascination with Batman grew to the point that she was able to successfully track his movements through Gotham. (Read: Stalker!) And because of him, she aims to take up her own mantle, and help the Batman clean up Gotham. Cause it's just what's right. |

Abusive Upbringing |
Harper and her brother Cullen Row grew up at the hands of an abusive father. At a very young age, she emancipated herself from his grips and took her brother with her, but that doesn't mean that she still doesn't feel the effects of abuse. |
Dependent Sibling |
Cullen Row is Harper's disadvantage. She still has to find a way to put food on the table, even if she's out all night working or being a vigilante. He's her number one soft spot, someone she'd do anything for. He's her only family left, even though her father is still alive. But she loves her little brother dearly and would move the world for him. |
Batman |
Becoming him, or trying to be like the Bat is something that'll potentially get her killed. She's untrained, brand new to the vigilante game, and trying to be one of the best as well as actively /do/? She's in a world of trouble and hurt. |
Product Of Gotham |
Harper is a product of her upbringing. It's obvious, really. Her home continues to remain in The Narrows even though there was a small chance of her getting out. Her job as a city engineer pays the bills and puts food into her and her brothers mouths. There are times, when things do get a little tough where she has to sacrifice so that her brother has all he needs. |
Criminal In The Family |
Marcus Row is a small time criminal, but he's still her father. While she doesn't care for him too much, the fact that Cullen still has lingering hope that their father would eventually give a damn makes her tolerable of him. There's a tiny shred of hope that she'll change, an even bigger hope that Cullen would come around to the fact that their father probably won't. His existence is a double edged sword. |
