Personality:
Harriet is incredibly over-emotional, she simply doesn't have the ability to feel 'ok' or 'fine'. When she's in a good mood, she's lovely to be around and talk with. It's a different story when Harri's in a bad mood; she'll act irrationally and has been described as 'deranged' when having one of her angry episodes. If someone mentions the wrong thing and she is feeling delicate, she'll fly off the handle and probably end up throwing breakable items around the room, not caring if she hits anyone or hurts their feelings. Her personality is quite draining and makes it difficult for others to be around her when she's feeling down about something.
She is also very opinionated and will never back down in an argument, even when she is obviously wrong. Harriet is a passionate person and is quick to defend herself and others when needed, being incredibly loyal to her friends and family. She can find it difficult to take differing opinions on board and will probably sulk for hours if she loses an argument.
Harri adores being in a relationship and the feeling of being in love with someone. She is incredibly loving and sweet with her partners, although this can quickly change to clingy and overbearing. She has been known to become obsessive with her boyfriends, following them around the castle to see what they're up to. There isn't any particular explanation for the obsessive behaviour, other than her strong sense of paranoia that people are out to get her.

Character History:
Harriet was born seventeen years ago on October 7th, the first and only child of Leopold Devin and Sara Quinley. Leo and Sara had been married from the age of eighteen, a year after graduating from Hogwarts, having met at school back in their fourth year. The couple had struggled to conceive a child for 2 decades and had given up all hope of expanding their family, until Sara discovered she was pregnant at the age of 42 years old. The couple were worried about having a child at the later stage in their lives, but they quickly adapted to the lifestyle changes and gave little Harriet all the love and attention she required. Sara became a full-time housewife, giving up her position of Assistant Writer for the Daily Prophet, whilst Leopold continued his work in the Improper Use of Magic Office. Some people might say Harriet had too much attention from her parents, given that she turned into quite the demanding princess.
Her first sign of magical ability appeared at the age of four, having turned the colour of her dolls house to a lovely shade of pink. Harriet had quickly decided that she didn't like the cornflower blue it had previously been. Leopold and Sara were incredibly proud of their daughter, although it had always been expected that she would have developed in her magical abilities at some stage, due to being purebloods. Being an only child, she wasn't able to socialise with children of the same age group very often and found it difficult to make friends.
She received her Hogwarts Acceptance letter at the age of 11, Harriet had been incredibly excited to start school and meet some new friends. Upon arriving at the school, she was sorted into the Gryffindor House and she was happy with the decision made the by Sorting Hat. For the first few months at school, she found it rather difficult making friends. Luckily she was able to make a few new friends by the end of her first year. Harriet has so far enjoyed her time at Hogwarts, her favourite activity being Quidditch. She has developed a reputation for being a serial dater, though she tries not to let this bother her too much.
