xxx♜PERSONALITY♖xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx STRUCTURED Despite the chaos of frequent moves, the Harpers had a protocol for everything that kept the hecticness of daily life understandable. Their children were raised to respect the process, and seek excellence in service within the confines of the system-- and thus far, Eden has found he thrives with structure. Having a plan--or even a general goal--gave him clarity and calm in the face of uncertainty. More independence at Hogwarts didn't mean fewer protocols for him--it just meant he has more control over them, something Eden found he very much liked. What he lacks in creativity Eden makes up for by efficiently absorbing and applying knowledge.
DEDICATED Punctual and responsible, if Eden agrees to something, he’ll make good on it, no matter how ridiculous it seems. Even if he’s not motivated to do something, if he’s started, he’ll finish.
HARDWORKING If there was one thing Eden learned from his parents, it was that if he worked hard, he could get better at anything-- or in their words, he had no excuse for not being good at everything. While he doesn’t always live up to his parents’ expectations, and oftentimes complains about them, Eden still puts it upon himself to try to accomplish these expectations.
COMPARITIVE As Eden became more aware of his fellow classmates, he started seeing rivals everywhere. He stacks himself against the accomplishments of others and always comes up short. The habit leaves him salty and frustrated at everything and while he'll rant about it to people close to him, ultimately his lonely and relentless pursuit of untouchable excellence has become a shield and wall.
NURTURING Service and courage have been drilled into his being, and Eden hates feeling helpless, weak, alone, or unreliable. He is constantly trying to prove that he’s self-sufficient and capable and with every person he befriends, he’ll do his best to leave them better than he found them.

xxx♜BACKSTORY♖xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ♜♖EARLY CHILDHOOD Eden was the first child of Captain Charles Harper and Lieutenant Juliet Harper-- Charles is a marksman instructor, and Juliet an army nurse. Both served in various muggle war zones and peaceful posts, which brought Eden and his younger sister Matilda into contact with a variety of locations throughout their childhood. They lived primarily in military housing, but also spent considerable time with Juliet’s family in Cardiff, and in the Shropshire countryside where Charles had grown up. Among Eden’s favorite postings were near Bradford for the food, and London where he caught a glimpse of the Queen in person.
Charles and Juliet had high expectations of both children, and Eden both feared and respected his parents. He did his best, but was quite unremarkable in muggle primary schooling. It didn’t matter where he was, he was always just-proficient and never quite the top. Instead, Eden shone in athletics and marksmanship: he played on the local youth swim or football team wherever they were, and worked hard to be a versatile athlete, although he preferred distance freestyle and side midfielder. Given his dedication, Eden was bitter and furious when people accused him of cheating-- there was no way he could always so precisely predict where to receive and launch the ball, after all?
Then when he was nine, Eden kicked a ball in anger and it burst-- there were accusations he had snuck small explosives off base, and that effectively ended his football aspirations. As his bitterness and frustration grew, occasionally lights would fizz out or glass would shatter around him. No one could explain what was happening, and within a year, Eden’s normal life turned into being cooped up with his studies. Mattie was his only friend and he started to look forward to changing schools. Instead, Eden channeled his full energy to swimming, studies, and marksmanship, hoping that people would overlook odd occurrences around him if he just excelled at everything else. Charles would take them fox hunting with hunting rifles or airguns to get them accustomed to weapon basics and safety; Eden sought to impress-- he could thoroughly clean out a gun, reload quickly, shoot precisely, perform first aid proficiently—and was always improving.
The Harpers’ questions were answered when an odd man showed up, bearing an invitation to a magic school. Sir and ma’am were somewhere between skeptical and suspicious. In the end, they decided: Eden would attend Hogwarts. He abandoned his muggle homework and searched for explanations in his new magical studies, even if they made no sense. He saw some of this magical community when they went supply shopping, but was very much still bewildered. On 1 September 2048, at 1100 hours, he gave Mattie a tearful hug goodbye, saluted his parents, and embarked on the train to learn magic and see how it might help his future military aspirations.
♜♖SCHOOL YEARS
♜FIRST YEAR Eden’s first year was spent learning as much as he could about magic. He reported back every week without fail, and drew strength from Mattie’s responses-- she wrote him nearly every day it seemed, and was working so hard beyond that— he couldn’t disappoint either! He wrote back about everything from classes to classmates, and once accidentally sent home a page of charms notes. Unfortunately, given his unfamiliarity, nearly every subject gave him trouble that year, and he couldn’t bring himself to ask for help. He found out about Quidditch halfway through the year, but the game was still too confusing and his priority was schoolwork. When he went home for the winter and summer, Eden realized how with him gone, the pressure on Mattie had doubled. He didn’t know how to protect her other than working even more diligently to fulfill their parents expectations—-if he could still follow their plans, maybe they wouldn’t be so demanding with Mattie. He spent the breaks studying his muggle coursework and reviewing his marksmanship as much as possible.
♖SECOND YEAR Come second year, Eden got an owl, Corporal Feathers, to facilitate the volume of letters he and Mattie were exchanging. He finally sought help in magical studies from Augustus, an older student in Hufflepuff. He joined the dueling club to better understand magical combat applications and started occasionally attending the morning Namaste club sessions. Eden ran into Skipper and Weslyn swimming in the lake a few times and occasionally hung around awkwardly with them. He also took Advanced Flying and there got a better grasp on Quidditch and promised Yukon, another older student, that he would try out the following year.
♜THIRD YEAR Eden finally worked up the courage and method to ask Weslyn out about halfway through the year. They spent a lot of time studying and on little Hogsmeade excursions together. Between her, Quidditch, Dueling, and Namaste, Eden kind of realized a lot of people at Hogwarts were actually pretty cool, which helped open break him out of his lonely shell a little. Healing was a breakthrough in his ability to cast magic, which gave him much more confidence in his other subjects. Over summer they also found out Mattie was also a witch and would be joining him at Hogwarts! He also looked up local places with Floo access and used it to go out with Weslyn for weekend hangouts or dates. With his sister, friends and a girlfriend back at Hogwarts, Eden was for once more excited than apprehensive about going back to school.
♖FOURTH YEAR Eden’s fourth year started with Mattie joining Gryffindor. He was disappointed she wouldn't be in Hufflepuff, but hoped she would find the freedom from pressure she craved there. He spent every moment he could tutoring Mattie or studying with Wes. Being more aware of the people around him had led Eden to the conclusion that he was in a rivalry with everyone his year. There was Quinn that just seemed to always steal the top spot in class from him, and Pietro who never bothered to do better in classes yet still knew everything. His frustrations with Wandless magic grew until he lashed out at a random kid one day in the winter and Wren, who he already didn't like, took away a whole 50 points from Hufflepuff. Thankfully Rian didn't seem to raise more issue with him and even got him interested in looking into more magical military history.
Eden spent the second half of the year focused on studying, earning points back for Hufflepuff, tutoring, and keeping his head down. He was jealous of Chadwick for getting the Dueling club captainship, but the worst part of the spring was the growing anxiety as Wes seemed to pull away and brought up just being friends multiple times. His fear was realized when, over the summer, he caught Weslyn and Skipper hanging out and overheard she meant to break up firmly. Feeling betrayed by Skipper and insulted by Weslyn, he was spent the rest of summer buried in studying. His loneliness only abated after a pleasant conversation with Calliope Whitethorne late in the summer.
♜FIFTH YEAR intensified the rivalries Eden saw everywhere. His rivalry with Penelope Barrett in Transfiguration tended to be almost fun, but Eden couldn't see past rivalries as antagonistic -- he was entirely blindsided when she asked him out and callously rejected her. He regretted his phrasing immediately, but never found the right way to apologize. With this insensitive rejection and Chadwick asking Callie out literally minutes after Eden had confessed his plan to ask her out, Eden was back to square "My sister is my only friend" and would have isolated himself again had Yukon not given him responsibilities as Quidditch Vice Captain Potato and Hailey not convinced him to join the Language club. Between Namaste, Dueling, Quidditch, Language clubs and studying day in and out and hanging out with Mattie, Eden found diversions.
After OWLs, Eden started the summer by finally asking Callie out to the Planetariwm in Cardiff. They had a wonderful time and started making weekly visits there, getting dinner and talking a walk nearby in the evenings. Unfortunately, when OWL scores were posted and his scores were decidedly lower than acceptable, his parents forced him to break up and smashed Pietro, Mattie's guitar. He was grounded, which led to his ignoring Skip's letter of reconciliation.
♖SIXTH YEAR broke the trend of isolation. Eden was elated to reconcile with Calliope at the Sorting Feast, and hearing her get Mattie a guitar warmed his heart incredibly. It also ended his months-long cold war with Mattie. Towards the end of the year, he realized something definitely off and more severe about her mood swings.
With Callie's encouragement, Eden apologized and reconciled with Skip and Penelope.He also finally asked Professor Lovette for help with Wandless magic and after months of fruitlessness, they recognized that his own mental turmoil and self-deprecation was causing the mental and magical block he had with spellcasting. Over the latter half of the year, they worked to alleviate that stress.
Just before exams, he and Callie had a date on the Bell Tower where he learned of Callie's past. Although he wanted revenge on her "Father", for Callie Eden silently promised to not go looking for information or vengeance. They met in secret over the summer, under the cover of "studying" and his potions internship with Professor Whitethorne. Later his parents invited Finley, Chadwick, and Callie over for lunch and shooting as a way of corroborating their stories.
♜SEVENTH YEAR Eden spent the year studying for NEWTs and keeping an eye on Mattie. He and Callie continued to date, finding time for each other through their exam years. They went to the Halloween Deep Sea Horrors Masquerade together and had a great time--but it was from this dance that people saw him talking to Jess, Callie's friend who was dating Lochi, and started unkind rumors of infidelity. Although annoyed, he was assured that Callie did not believe in them. He and Chadwick had an epic duel to close off their Hogwarts careers, and then it was off to NEWTs and the real world.
♜♖POST-GRADUATIONWhile Eden originally wanted to go into muggle military service, when he found out in school it wasn't possible due to the Statute of Secrecy, he looked around and eventually became interested in the work that Hit Wizards and Aurors did. Thus, after graduation he signed on with the Department of Law enforcement and began his training as a hit wizard. On one of his duties as a hit-wizard, he found himself face-to-face with Tomlinson Southwark. He let Callie know her kidnapper's fate as best he could, struggling between vengeful fury and respectful loyalty to Callie.
During a date ice-skating on the Black Lake in Winter 2055, Callie fell in. Eden apparated her back to home and recruited Ma'am to help treat her hypothermia. As a result, his and Callie's relationship was laid out to the Harper parents. With Sir's encouragement, Eden finally proposed to Callie during the fireworks finale of the Summer 2056 Arts Festival. They were married under a meteor shower in February 2057. For their honeymoon, Callie's family sent them on a cruise to see the Northern Lights in Reykjavik, Iceland and returned to a cozy flat on the outskirts of Cardiff, near the planetarium Callie now worked at.
On Christmas Eve later that year, their good friends Chadwick and Finley were also married. Since the incident at the lake, Eden reconsidered his work as a hit-wizard, and switched to training as a mediwizard. While he was frustrated to be back in training, he found the work rewarding; Callie also seemed more comfortable with his mediwizard work, especially with a baby on the way: they welcomed Persephone Bree Harper to their family in August 2058
During these years, Mattie's bipolar condition flared worse and worse, leading to her failing her OWLs and having to retake the year. Eden was guilt-ridden, but the aftermath meant his parents finally accepted getting her help and loosening up on her music participation. He was supremely proud of her retake exams and progress. While suspicious of her boyfriend, Simon Blake, simply for daring to date his baby sister, Eden did try to get along once he knew they were serious: he and Simon hung out one morning in Fall of 2058 and managed to find common ground. He was startled but supportive when they moved in together following Mattie's graduation, as he was with her intention to pursue Hit Wizard training while she got her music career going.

xxxPERSONALITYxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx LOYAL Mattie argues that it is impossible to not be loyal with her family. She is willing to sacrifice herself in order to protect the greater good and bring pride to her country, family, and friends (if she can finally make some).
BUBBLY Mattie is a bundle of energy, full of ideas, dreams, and ambitions to the extreme that she often cannot materialize much of her brilliance. Alas, there is only so much time in the day!
PRIDEFUL Mattie works hard, very hard, to accomplish what she has and she will see someone doubt her work and perseverance over her dead body. She might be clever but that doesn’t mean she has to work harder just to show it on paper.
IMPULSIVE Despite being a part of a family of structure and following orders, given her own freedom she is quick to act on the first great (or “great”) idea she encounters. She lacks the fear to back down from a challenge and that very much includes following her heart before her logic.
STRUCTURED CHAOS Mattie craves and needs structure to thrive, and yet she wants to destroy every bit of controlling force in her life. She is most often reliable and steady of character, but her personality waivers with spots of extreme anger, annoyance, and moodiness.
LIKES ■ singing, music, and would love to learn an instrument (though her parents have said no-it is a distraction from what matters) ■ the rain ■ a good cup of Earl Gray tea, but she's willing to try any hot tea. ■ Jujitsu and Krav Maga ■ Games of "chance" such as Poker and Blackjack. ■ Traveling
DISLIKES ■ Being insulted ■ Doubt being cast on the work that her success requires ■ Rigid pressure on her or others ■ Cooking and Baking ■ Waiting on anything for longer than five minutes
STRENGTHS ■ Resilient ■ Interpreting patterns and odds
WEAKNESSES ■ Impulsive ■ Sees life in extremes
FEARS ■ Being Average or Worse / Not being good enough
xxxBACKSTORYxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
EARLY CHILDHOOD Matilda Rose Harper (Mattie) was the second born, youngest child of Captain Charles Harper and Lieutenant Juliet Harper. Captain C. Harper is a British Army marksmanship instructor and Lieutenant J. Harper a British Army Nurse. Both have served in various muggle war zones and peaceful posts, bringing Mattie and her older brother, Eden, into contact with a variety of locations throughout their childhood. They lived primarily in military housing, but also spent time with Lieutenant J. Harper's family in Cardiff, and in Shropshire countryside where Captain C. Harper had grown up. Mattie loved the heartbeat and diversity of London, but she loved the freedom she had in Shropshire away from the overbearing eyes of her parents.
Mediocrity was unacceptable to Charles and Juliet (Sir and Mum or Ma’am but never Mother), and like Eden, Mattie both feared and respected her parents. Mattie was well liked by the adults in her primary schooling, with her corn silk blonde hair and bright blue eyes, she was the picture of innocence. She was a bright student, but tested “poorly in comparison of what her intelligence actually was.” If she had to go to another tutoring session on test taking skills by the age of eight she was going to scream! Yet, she did continue to go, even after Eden went away to some castle to learn magic, because that is what she should do. It was her duty to her family and her country. She must utilize her skills to their best and beyond.
The truth of the matter is she missed Eden terribly and wrote him almost daily with an owl he’d send for her letters. She hated to admit her big brother was her only friend. She was constantly teased for being a ‘know it all’ and ‘teacher’s pet’ and Mattie would get mad and cry or even get into a fight where she showed it wasn’t just boys who knew how to throw a good punch and quite a bit martial arts (thanks Sir). All she had was school, swimming, tennis, martial arts practice with Captain C. Harper, regular marksmanship instruction most often with an air pistol, tutoring, and letters to Eden.
She was so preoccupied with her loneliness after Eden left and the pressure to always be the best of the best, she never noticed that the bruises on her from a fight would be gone before she got home, and for some reason her parents never seemed to find out about the bullying and fights that would happen. Even when her teachers witnessed the fights and bullying, they seemed to forget about the whole thing the next minute. What Mattie did not realize was these changes in perception and wishing a bruise would just go away in time was just as paranormal as the explosions around Eden.
She almost refused the connection even when the same man that revealed Eden to be a wizard came to meet the Harpers one more time. Mattie was a witch. She doubted she ever did magic till the man said “Are you sure nothing odd has happened around you in particular” at least not revealing how magic helped make her and her parents disagreements (the time Mattie refused to go to tutoring because she was still recovering from laryngitis for example) a little more bearable. She was just happy she could join her brother away from her parents. She’d learn slight of hand card tricks if she had to just to have a moment to breathe.
SCHOOL YEARS
Mattie was sorted into Gryffindor and quickly rushed into joining several clubs and pushed herself in her classes. As she on paper looked like she was excelling her rather fragile mental state was showing cracks. She couldn't focus, she was having fits of anger and tears, she was feeling unstoppable and by her fifth year starting her day or ending it in the shower crying wasn't unheard of. She felt as if she was losing her mind but what else could she do? Fail. Her OWLs were bad and between her parents and professors it was decided that it would be best for her to get medical care (and a diagnosis of early onset Bipolar 1), therapy over the summer, a repeat of her fifth year, and cutting down on her club responsibilities. It was a blessing for Mattie and among this chaos she found friends including Simon Blake who she began to date. Her second OWLs went smoothly and Mattie mostly ignored the gossip about her failure the first time. As she worked she learned to make goals for herself and looks forward to starting a career as a hit wizard and continuing her musical work.

xxxCᴜʀʀᴇɴᴛ Eᴍᴘʟᴏʏᴍᴇɴᴛ: Astronomer, Employee at Planetarium Wales xxxDʀᴇᴀᴍ Jᴏʙ: Astronomer
xxx𝓟𝒆𝓻𝓼𝓸𝓷𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓽𝔂xxx xxxxx⇾Dʀᴇᴀᴍʏ: Calliope always has her thoughts tangled in some sort of dreamland. She has issues focusing on reality simply because her mind is always elsewhere. She often mentions tidbits from her daydreams as though they were part of reality, thus making her seem strange.
xxxxx⇾Sᴏꜰᴛ Sᴘᴏᴋᴇɴ: Calliope rarely speaks up for any reason, both because she's got a quiet voice and because she's pretty shy. She speaks in what seems like riddles when she does, usually taking odd routes to get to the point she's trying to make.
xxxxx⇾Cᴜʀɪᴏᴜs: Calliope loves to learn, though she prefers learning on her own, rather than in a question-and-answer scenario. She can often be seen trying to figure things out on her own terms, usually while humming.
xxxxx⇾Cᴏᴢʏ: Calliope loves to be warm and snuggly. She can often be found in small hiding places that she either discovered or created. Usually when no such spaces are available, she's tucked in a too-big sweater or has a blanket wrapped all the way around herself.
xxxxx⇾Dᴇʟɪᴄᴀᴛᴇ: Calliope is incredibly fragile, both physically - due to her thin, almost unhealthy physique - and mentally, since she spent her childhood in such odd circumstance. Harsh words or sarcasm have the power to hurt her far worse than they'd hurt anyone else, and teasing is a good way to get her to hide away.
xxxxx⇾Gᴇɴᴛʟᴇ: Thanks to being so terribly delicate, Calliope is also incredibly careful with the world around her. She keeps everything perfectly organized and often uses sweet, quiet words so as not to offend anyone. She is also careful with anything from nature, from trees to sticks so as not to upset the delicate balance of nature.

xxxℬ𝓲𝓸𝓰𝓻𝓪𝓹𝓱𝔂xxx
xxx𝒞𝒽𝒾𝓁𝒹𝒽𝑜𝑜𝒹xxx Calliope was born to a lovely little magical family in Gloucester, England. The small family was full of love and happiness. Unfortunately, at the young age of two, she was kidnapped from her family home without so much as a trace of her whereabouts.
What she didn't know, and would not for years understand, was that her captor, Tomlison, was a vampire that had previously been wronged. He had been a vampire hunter for years, but finally he angered the wrong group. He was attacked by the group and forced to become a vampire while the clan killed his family. For years to come, he often took children that he believed reminded him of his young daughter, Anja. Calliope would never learn the fact that she hadn't been the only child.
She was brought to live in the abandoned home of Tomlison Southwark, nestled on the outskirts of Godric's Hollow. He raised her in the dark and shadows of his mysterious lifestyle, perpetually afraid he would be caught and murdered for everything he had done. He never let his worries fall upon Calliope, though he did teach her that they could only step outside in the dark.
Every so often, Tomlison would begin to grow angry and short tempered, which would always end with Calliope being left alone with the cranky old house elf for a few hours at a time. This allowed her to become more independent as she grew, learning to be able to take care of herself better.
As she got a bit older, Tomlison wouldn't leave as often, instead sitting with the young girl and gently biting into her neck. They would only spend a few minutes together, always ending in Calliope passing out and being lovingly tucked into bed by Tomlison, who felt guilty that he couldn't better control his needs.
One night, Tomlison left as normal, but Callie heard quite a commotion outside. She tried to see through the darkened windows, but unfortunately couldn't make out much. Maybe only a short peek wouldn't hurt? She fiddled with the locks, stepping into cold snow with her bare feet. There was a big crowd, so she walked closer, wondering what was going on. One of the crowd-people scolded her for trying to cut the line, and she got tugged into the crowd. Unsure what to do, she walked along with them, stopping at a park she didn't know was there. Looking up, the sky erupted with color, amusing the girl to no end.
As the colors died down, an older lady hurried over to Callie, wrapping her in a jumper and scarf, asking where home was, and if she was okay. Callie tried to say she was alright, and that home was only a short walk away, but the lady was clearly frazzled with worry.
Just as the woman started asking more serious questions, Tomlison swooped in, handing the woman back her warm clothes and taking Calliope back to their home, a small growl in his voice. He scolded her for leaving, though she could vaguely discern the upset in his voice. She was marched off to bed, but woken up only a few short hours later by a bunch of people storming in.
There were a group of Aurors, Hit Wizards, and a few people from the child protections team. One of them gently pulled Calliope aside, leading her out of the small house. The girl whined about being out in the daytime, but allowed the adults to take her away. It seemed to happen so fast, but ended up with Calliope being moved into Wool's Orphanage, since she had no family readily found.
xxx𝒮𝒸𝒽𝑜𝑜𝓁 𝒴𝑒𝒶𝓇𝓈xxx In first year, Callie was lucky to make friends and find a wonderful Astronomy Club to join. She discovered that several professors were quite nice, which made going to the large school quite a bit better.
In second year, things got a little wild. Early on, she'd been wandering as she normally did, but she got caught by Professor Whitethorne. After a nice discussion, they parted ways. Several other nights, Callie found herself back at the office, talking, practicing potions, or whatever else. Then came a big surprise. Professor Whitethorne - Ada - and her wonderful husband - Chris - had a nice sit down talk. They wanted to adopt her, but they also wanted her to know they were vampires (which made sense, given Ada's preferred office and class hours). After repeated promises that they'd never bite her, she agreed. Something about them brought her to feeling trust.... plus she was happy to have a real family, siblings included.
The further school progressed, the more friends she seemed to attract. She even had a few dates with Chadwick Archer, before he confessed his attraction to another. Despite heartbreak, she was truly happy for him and Finley. Shortly after, Eden Harper asked for a date, and the two fell head over heels. They had several dates, including one set up in the bell towers to watch the nightfall. Even with her sordid past, he accepted and loved her. After her sixth year, he had graduated, and despite them being far apart, they always made things work. Every Hogsmeade weekend, they had lunch and walked around, which seemed like a lovely reward from the year's studies.
That winter, they went on a lovely date, ending with ice skating on the Black Lake near her home. Despite checking for safety, the ice cracked and gave way, sending Callie into the icy depths. Eden rescued her, bringing her to his family home for his mum to help her. It was a way to force them into telling his parents they'd been dating the whole time, even after Eden had been told to break it off. It was a very interesting day, even if Callie did enjoy meeting his mum. She had a soft side, anyway.
xxx𝒜𝒹𝓊𝓁𝓉𝒽𝑜𝑜𝒹xxx After graduation, Callie had been planning on living at home a while, but Eden had other plans. At the huge music and arts festival, he proposed marriage, and Callie accepted without a second thought. They got married soon after, under the lights of a meteor shower. Once married, they went on a little honeymoon, a cruise around Iceland to view the northern lights. The next year came with the delightful news that they were expecting. Nine months later brought their little Persephone Bree Harper.
