Name: Harper Bauer
Age: 17
Crystal Petal: Green Crystal of Peace
Personality: As a kid, Harper was an anxious mess and easy to agitate. With age, Harper eased into the personification of sleepy vibes. She is easy to approach and talk to, always one to mediate in a tense situation between friends and Pokemon. While she looks like she could fall asleep on her feet, Harper is fairly alert and attentive, observation on most occasions. She can be a patient force of empathy and has a habit of taking in Pokemon that are often difficult, abused or misunderstood. As a take away, she can be overly bullheaded and stubborn. Harper has a hard time recognizing her own limits and, as a result, often under sleeps. She loves caring for her dad's massive garden whenever she visits, leading to her choice of nicknames.
Appearance: Harper stands at 5'5, an androgynous, angular face with grey eyes. The dark bags under her eyes and slouched posture lends to her seeming perpetually tired. Harper has medium length, brown hair that is a tangled mess on the best of days. She pins the mess back with at least four multi-colored hair clips at any given moment. She wears a faded, patchy green parka with a matted, fuzzy hood-- though on the islands she tends to tie her jacket around her waist. Harper sticks to cool colors, wearing an over-sized tank top with floral pattern. She has grey jean shorts with black tights underneath, and electric green high tops. Her crystal dangles from her left ear, amidst a few other stud piercings on both ears. An orange backpack is slung over her shoulder-- definitely carries care products for her Pokemon (combs, treats, first aid) as well as various seeds and berries in approximate containers.

Backstory: Harper comes from a broken home. Between her divorced parents, she has traveled across many regions throughout her youth until her mother finally remarried and settled down in frigid Snowpoint City, Sinnoh. Her distanced father was the one to first send Cyndaquil, a friend and comfort during the massive adjustments. While the company helped, Harper was wildly ill adjusted and prone to spontaneous adventures in the nearby wilds of Snowpoint without her family's knowledge. The frequent trips to the woods and Temple were the first places she'd find abandoned and mistreated Pokemon. Harper would visit her biological father in Goldenrod City on occasion, until he moved to the outskirts of Olivine City where she took on a fondness for gardening.
Harper was 7 when her step father took her family on a lengthy vacation to Alola where she would met her fateful friends. The trip was not nearly long enough, leaving her missing her friends dearly. The experience shifted her perspective to take a more empathetic role in herself as well as others. Afterwards, with her friends in mind, Harper started to take in the Pokemon she'd find around her city to give them the patience and love they deserve.
