Harper Anderson

"If love could of saved you, you would have lived forever.:"

Personality:
Harper is an enigma, she’s defensive but is willing to get to know someone who shows her kindness, always keeping her true emotions closely guarded. The move from her home and the loss of her best friend only served to make her isolate herself a bit more, while her brother, Hayden could work a room, she was happy to sit in the corner with a cup of coffee and a book. Though, she has a funny sensitive side to that can light up the room like no other, causing people who are just like her to gravitate towards her.

History:
Harper grew up in North Carolina with her parents and brother Hayden. Harper and her family were extremely close growing up and she lived for her Friday night family dinners. Because her Father, Lucas, was a lawyer at his own law firm he would spend more time out of the house rather than in it. But Fridays were family days, and her Father never missed one.

When Harper was 14 her Mother began to get sick, she was loosing weight, and had next to no appetite. The following year she was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. Her doctors did everything they could, and her father drowned himself in debt with every and all clinical trials that he could get his wife into. Unfortunately, his efforts were futile and he couldn't save his wife. She passed away within the year of her diagnoses.

Lucas blamed himself, if he hadn't worked as much, maybe he would of noticed his wife's decline sooner. Maybe he could have saved her, not let the cancer spread as far as it had.

Rather than dealing with the pain of loosing his wife, Lucas picked up his kids and moved to Colorado for their last summer as a family. Lucas had buried himself in a hole. He was drunk most of the time, and couldn't stand the sight of his kids. They reminded him too much of his deceased wife, he decided his best option was to send them off to Silver Oaks in Oregon. Convincing himself they needed a change and would appreciate being away from reminders of their mother.

Chase:
Harper joined Silver Oaks in her Sophomore year of High school. Change never sat well with Harper, she struggled to make friends, always keeping to herself. She eventually became friends with Chase, a junior boy that she quickly fell for. He was her best friend, and introduced to a few other students a long the way. They had quite a few ups and downs over the year, but Chase was her person and they always were drawn back to each other.

Noah:
Noah was another one of Harper's first friends at Silver Oaks, meeting on one of her visits at the stable. Noah introduced her to the  'Animal Lover's Club' so soon she wasn't hanging out alone in the library or making trips down to the stable by herself anymore. Harper finally had someone she trusted enough to talk to about the boy she noticed and had honestly started to crush on with barely knowing him. Noah pushed her to get to know Chase and the three of them became great friends.

Zach:
Harper didn't know Zach the way that she knew Noah and Chase, but they ran in the same circle and she considered themselves friends.
