Walking through the picturesque streets of Cardinal Hill, you find Harper Gall, the 28 year old mechanic at Romano's ( & guitarist in Wrathchild ) originally from Tucson, Arizona. Living alongside them in such a small town, you know that they're meticulous and cynical, but what you might not know is that they are a witch, and that they’re hiding something…
The only person she ever had was her father, spending her days in a corner of his auto body shop in Arizona. From doodling to writing mediocre angry-teenage-girl songs, that was the place where she felt the most at home. It's also where she picked up the craft, working on cars for as long as she could remember, joking that her first steps were towards a 1971 Ford Falcon. Most of her life, she expected to grow up and take over the shop her father held near and dear. Her mother vanished before she was even a year old, never hearing about the woman who her father did everything to forget. Not that it mattered; anyone who left them didn't deserve to know them, according to Harper.
She knew she was different but everything came together when she was thirteen. It presented her with abilities she'd only wished she had, and Harper kept it to herself. That was nothing that would've interested her father, only worrying him further about his only daughter, so she made sure he never found out. Her familiar is a sable ferret named Noodle, whom her father accepted into his home after she made up a story about finding him. On a fateful day in May when she was only seventeen, everything changed. Her father collapsed from a heart attack in the autobody shop she called home. She did all she could to keep him alive, even her newfound powers having no use in keeping her father on the side of the living. The place she loved the most was sold off not too long after that to pay off the bills and funeral costs, with barely any left to keep Harper hopeful.
After he passed away, Harper lost her focus and purpose in life; that's when she *redacted*. After traveling around to find work, she landed on Cardinal Hill, having had enough of the city and wanting to start a real life for herself. It took all the money she had left to rent a room, but as she became clean of her past, her future was able to find her. A place so different from Tucson and somehow exactly what she needed to settle down for the first time since her father's passing. Harper calls Cardinal Hill home and has for a few years now, even finding herself as a guitarist in a metal band. She's done all she can to leave her past behind her, yet a part of her can't help but feel haunted no matter how far she runs.
