Harriet Hook

Harriet Hook is the eldest daughter of Captain Hook. Despite being the first-born, she didn't have rights to anything. Her father and the pirates would look down on her for being female. However, Harriet didn't give up. She continued fighting alongside with the people who truly believed in her. She's currently the Captain of the Black Star, of which the crew is better known as Rebel Riots.

Biography
Captain Hook had found out that Luisa, one of the women he spent time with, was pregnant with his child. The pirate was satisfied, he was eager to have an heir. He kept Luisa in his residence, the Grand Cabin, until she gave birth.

Unwanted child
Luisa gave birth on November 16 to a girl. Captain Hook was deeply disappointed. He claimed that the child was conceived in a moment of weakness. However, since the child was his blood, he couldn't dismiss her. He made Luisa stay in the Grand Cabin and assume charges of the child's upbringing. The child remained nameless for a while as neither Hook nor Luisa gave the child a name.

Luisa had become mentally unstable after months of abuse from Captain Hook. She neglected her child and attempted to escape the Grand Cabin multiple times, she even thought of suicide. Smee, Captain Hook's right-hand man, realized that Luisa was miserable and she couldn't take care of the child. He helped Luisa and took care of her child when she was tired. Smee asked if the child had a name, to which Luisa replied that she didn't believe that the creature would survive long enough to be called by a name. Smee was deeply concerned, he said that if a child dies nameless, its soul would be lost and it will never go to heaven. Luisa scoffed at Smee's beliefs, calling him too gullible. She said she's not a believer, and if she were, she was sure that they all would go to hell. However, Smee still suggested some names for the child, among them the name Harriet. Luisa commented that she liked the name Harriet, but still she wouldn't give the child that name, saying that the child didn't seem like a Harriet.

One day, Luisa asked Smee to help her and the child escape the Grand Cabin. Smee was hesitant, but still he helped them. Luisa took the child with her and escaped. She headed north, but ended up in Forge, home of the Smiths. Luisa fainted at their gates, she was immediately found and taken in by the Smiths. While Luisa was still unconscious, Mara, one of the Smiths, looked after the baby. She saw the name "Hetty" embroidered on the blanket that the baby was wrapped in, believing that was her name. When Luisa woke up, Mara referred to the baby as "Hetty". Luisa was confused, Mara explained that she thought that was the baby's name. Luisa was greatly disgusted by the name, and to spare the child from being buried with such name, she decided to finally give the child a decent name. Luisa chose Harriet, the name suggested by Smee.

Before Luisa could leave Forge, Captain Hook's men had already surrounded the encampment. The Smiths didn't fight, but they were ready to defend if the pirates attacked. The pirates said they would leave peacefully if Luisa and her child surrender and come with them. Elmer, the elder Smith, refused, stating that Luisa and her child were welcomed into Forge, and unlike the pirates, they had the right to remain if that was their wish. Luisa couldn't risk innocent blood being spilled because of her. She decided to turn herself and Harriet.

The mother and daughter pair were taken back to the Grand Cabin. Captain Hook punished Luisa, locking her up, and left Harriet under the care of Starkey, his boatswain. Luisa found Smee locked up in the dungeons for helping her escape. She told him that she had named the child Harriet. Smee assured Luisa that Captain Hook wouldn't allow anyone to hurt Harriet, as the child was his as well, of his blood. Luisa said that she wouldn't bet on it.

Two days later, Luisa was released so she could continue taking care of the child. Harriet was still healthy. Captain Hook commented that the child didn't cry much, something that he appreciated, but Starkey didn't know how to handle an infant, so it was better to have a woman to do the job. Luisa informed Hook that the child's name was Harriet. Captain Hook said that he liked the name.

Captain Hook gave Luisa space, but she still had scars from the earlier months. He also spent some time with Harriet, holding her a few times. Smee was right, Hook wouldn't harm his own blood.

Luisa's mental health began to deteriorate. She felt into depression. Once again, she was unable to take care of Harriet. She believed that her daughter would be better off without her. One night, she escaped from the Grand Cabin and never returned. Captain Hook didn't send his men to look for her, either. Before leaving, Luisa left a note for Smee, asking him to look after Harriet for her. She had also left her ring to Harriet. It was also one month before Harriet turned one.

Captain Hook put Smee in charge of Harriet's care. Smee treated Harriet like his own child. Captain Hook also took part of the parenting task, but not regularly, neither for an extended period of time.

Big sister, part 1
Soon enough, Captain Hook was expecting his second child with a woman named Sharon. He ignored Harriet and focused more on his unborn child, which he was sure that it would be a boy. Sharon didn't like Harriet, and from what she heard about Luisa, she believed that Harriet was mentally retarded.

On July 9, four months before Harriet's second birthday, Sharon gave birth to a boy. Captain Hook celebrated the birth of his son. He gave the boy the name Harry Hook and declared him the heir, the future Captain Hook, the ruler of all Seven Seas.

While her younger brother Harry was raised in the High Chambers, Harriet grew up with the children of other crewmen. There was a child around her age, Brandon Murphy, the son of Black Murphy. The two children were put together and they became inseparable. Eventually, Smee had his own son, Sammy. He spent less time with Harriet, but he also made sure that she wasn't completely forgotten. Harriet grew close to Sammy, filling the role of big sister and seeing him like a brother more than Harry.

Big sister, part 2
Shortly after Harry turned two, Captain Hook announced the arrival of his third child. This time, the mother of the upcoming Hook was Mara, one of the Smiths. Captain Hook had a special relationship with Mara, he respected her. Unlike the previous women that became pregnant with Hook's child, Mara was given the choice either to move into the Grand Cabin until she gave birth or to remain in Forge. Before the final decision, Mara expressed her wish to visit the Grand Cabin and the children.

Sharon was deeply jealous, she also feared being replaced by Mara. Sharon decided to take action, she attempted to make Mara miscarry by pushing her downstairs. Harriet managed to warn Mara in time and did her best to stop Sharon. As result, Harriet fell downstairs instead of Mara and sprained her ankle. Upon knowing what happened, Captain Hook immediately banished Sharon from the Grand Cabin, forbidding her from getting back ever again.

Following Sharon's dismissal, Mara assumed maternal responsibilities for both Harriet and Harry. She took care of Harriet's sprained ankle and taught both children to read. While Harriet deeply appreciated Mara's presence, Harry behaved poorly as he wasn't spoiled like he used to be with Sharon.

On February 22, Mara gave birth to a girl and named her Calista Jane. Despite being a girl, Captain Hook still celebrated the birth of his third child. Mara eventually decided to stay in the Grand Cabin to take care of Hook's children, including her own.

Family at last
Mara had remained in the Grand Cabin for two years. During this time, Hook, Mara and the children became as close as a family, all living together in the High Chambers. However, the Pirate Lords weren't satisfied with the Pirate King's behaviour, claiming he had gone "soft" and forgotten his duties. They threatened to start a mutiny if Captain Hook remained unable to assume the responsibilities that came with his title. In light of that situation, Captain Hook decided to cut ties with Mara. He ordered her to leave the Grand Cabin and to never return. Mara agreed to permanently leave under the condition that she could take the children with her. Hook denied the possibility to take all three. He only allowed Mara to take her daughter Calista Jane with her, as Harriet and Harry would remain in the Grand Cabin. Mara ultimately had to make the decision to only take her daughter with her, leaving the older Hook children behind.

Before departing, Mara asked Smee to keep an eye on both children, specially Harriet, and told him to write to her if he needed help on anything. Mara also gave Harriet a switchblade with an H engraved on it. She instructed Harriet only to use it to defend herself, and to handle it carefully as it is not a toy, nor an object that she can freely showed it off.

Henry
After Mara's departure, Harriet became lonely. She missed having a maternal figure and a little sister. Even though she still had Murph and the Smees, they couldn't possibly fill in the void that Mara and CJ left behind. Harriet was vulnerable, she became an easy target for bullies. Murph would stood up for her and get into fights with the boys that picked up on her. Harriet had to do something about it, as she didn't want Murph to get hurt, and above all, she wanted to fit in.

Harriet asked Sammy to cut her hair short and chose to go by the name "Henry". When Smee found out that Harriet had changed to a masculine appearance, he asked if she was a boy or a girl. "Henry" replied that she was a boy and that she was tired of being a girl. Concerned, Smee wrote a letter to Mara, informing her about Harriet's change of appearance and that she considered herself to be male. Mara advised Smee to let the child be, as long as they are comfortable with it. Captain Hook had also noticed his daughter's short hair, but he decided not to intervene and put Smee in charge of her.

"Henry" knew that the boys in Hook's Inlet would recognize her, so she decided to go to Argo Nautica, the other end of Pirates Bay, where nobody knew her as Harriet. There, "Henry" met a group of boys and quickly fitted in. "Henry" invited Murph to join the new crew, as long as he kept her true identity a secret. Murph accepted and followed "Henry" to Argo Nautica. However, Murph didn't get a long with the boys, he didn't agree on their aggressive behaviour. He soon left the group and encouraged "Henry" to leave them as well. "Henry" couldn't risk another rejection, so she remained in the group. The more time she spent with the boys, the more aggressive she became. She would bully and hurt other children solely to remain in the group.

Smee began noticing that "Henry" was behaving aggressively, snapping at Sammy and even threatened to hit him. He scolded her and punished her from getting out of the Grand Cabin. Upset, "Henry" attempted to sneak out. The first two times she got caught. The third time she set the kitchen on fire, and while everyone was busy putting the fire out, "Henry" took advantage of the chaos and ran away. She thought of going to Forge, but she knew that Mara would send her back to the Grand Cabin. "Henry" decided to find a place for her own. She went to Rocky Forest of Aschenburg and spent the night there, hidden in the rocks. The next morning, she woke up and explored the zone. She found a small hole, just big enough so she could slip in. She got in and continued walking until she reached an open small cave with a stunning view towards the sea. Other than the mesmerising view, she also found two human skeletons next to each other. She was frightened by the discovery, leading her to immediately abandon the cave and Rocky Forest. "Henry" was hungry, she attempted to steal a slice of pie from a bakery, but she got caught. Before being punished, "Henry" managed to run away. She decided to try her luck on Red Sector, which she did manage to steal a soup can. Around afternoon, she thought she saw one of Hook's pirates on the streets. She left Red Sector and headed back to Aschenburg, where she planned to sleep on the streets. However, due to some horrifying things she had witnessed on the streets, she decided to return to the cave she had discovered earlier. She spent the night at the narrow entrance rather than in the cave.

"Henry" spent four nights in the cave, leaving during the day to get food and water. She eventually got over her fear of the skeletons and entered the cave and explored it. She found a trunk on a corner of the cave and opened it. Inside, it was filled with books, papers and some jewellery. She later put the bones of both skeletons in a big sack she had found and placed them in the corner, next to the trunk.

On the fifth day, while scavenging for food on the streets of Red Sector, "Henry" was caught stealing by a girl named Lena Jaeger. Panicked, "Henry" threatened Lena with her switchblade, telling the girl not to tell anyone. Lena quickly disarmed "Henry" and immediately ran away with the switchblade. "Henry" chased behind Lena, but she quickly lost track of the girl. Unarmed, Harriet retreated back to the cave, but she was caught by one of Hook's crewmen on the way and taken back to the Grand Cabin.

Back at the Grand Cabin, "Henry" was taken to her father. Hook reprimanded her and asked why she had dressed up like a boy. "Henry" refused to answer, she looked away and held back her tears. Irritated by his daughter's attitude, Hook slapped her. "Henry" responded by hitting Hook back, which infuriated him more. As result, "Henry" received another slap and got locked up in the dungeons. Smee tried to convince Hook to release the child out of the dungeons, but Hook refused and even threatened to put Smee in there for a whole month if he got anywhere near that zone.

The following morning, Hook released "Henry", on the condition that she would work as his courier and informant. "Henry" saw it as a chance to run away again and immediately accepted. Hook knew the child's intentions, so he used the first few weeks to test her abilities and her willingness to remain loyal to him. He gave her with small tasks to be carried out within the Grand Cabin, making it impossible for her to run away. To incentivise her, Hook rewarded her with a one gold for each five tasks that she carried out successfully. Eventually, "Henry" was introduced to other children that also worked as couriers for the League of Pirates. The children competed for the most challenging tasks to gain the highest rewards.

At her tenth birthday, Smee gave Luisa's ring in the form a necklace to "Henry". However, due to her job, "Henry" asked Smee to keep it safe for her.

Competitiveness was what kept "Henry" in Pirates Bay. It had been two years since "Henry" became a courier, she was even one of the best and often got selected for the hardest tasks. Hook gave "Henry" a month of holidays, allowing her to go wherever she wanted. "Henry" decided to go to Argo Nautica. She hoped to find her old friends there. When she arrived, she saw the group of boys harassing a girl with a basket of flowers. She didn't interfere at first, only watching from a distance. Things soon turned distressing, "Henry" had to do something. She ran to the scene and pushed one of the boys, making him fall. The group directed their attention at "Henry", quickly recognising her. "Henry" told them to leave the girl alone, to which they scoffed at the request. They decided to pick up on "Henry" instead. As a response, she punched the closest boy in the face and immediately ran away. The entire group chased after her. "Henry" had significantly increased her speed after the two years working as courier, plus she had improved her climbing skills. Once she assured that none of the boys were behind her, she returned to Argo Nautica. The girl was still there. "Henry" approached to her and helped her. They introduced themselves, the girl was named Violette.

Violette and "Henry" became close friends and started developing feelings for each other. They pretended playing a married couple and that they had a daughter named Iris together. They often cuddled and shared small kisses, which they both justified those interactions as part of the roleplay. At some point, "Henry" took Violette to the secret cave and together they watched the sunrise.

The few months that "Henry" spent with Violette were the happiest moments of her entire childhood. However, there were certain physical changes that were bound to happen. Violette became suspicious of the true gender of "Henry", and eventually, discovered that "he" was a she all along. The time as "Henry" was over. Harriet revealed herself to Violette, assuring her that despite being a girl the whole time, none of it changed the way she felt. Violette couldn't understand Harriet's point. She was confused and disgusted. She ended their relationship abruptly and swore never to see Harriet ever again. Since then, Harriet never saw Violette again.

Leaving childhood
After the breakup with Violette, Harriet left the identity of "Henry" behind and embraced her feminine self. She returned to female pronouns and so as her name Harriet. She let her hair grew and became more flexible when it comes to clothing. She attended classes in the morning and continued being a courier at night. During this time, she rebuilt her relationship with the Smees, as they welcomed to life a pair of twin boys, Sawyer and Simon. She and Murph also reconnected.

Harriet entered the phase of puberty. At thirteen, she had her first menstruation. It was a Saturday noon, after she had finished her task in Colony. On the way, she felt like something strange was dripping down her legs. She stopped by a public restroom and entered there. When she checked, she saw blood coming out. She panicked, as she didn't know where it came from. She tried to check for wounds, but she didn't really feel pain coming from anywhere. In the midst of the panic, someone knocked on the door, telling her to hurry up. Harriet couldn't stay in the restroom forever, so she ripped her sleeves and stuffed the piece of cloth between her legs. Luckily her pants were dark brown, so the blood wasn't too noticeable. However, she had left some stains on her white shirt.

Harriet exited the restroom and outside she saw a green-haired girl with a familiar face, but she couldn't stay longer to remember who that girl was. The green-haired girl, on the other hand, wasn't in a hurry. She had noticed blood stains on Harriet's shirt and hands. She stopped Harriet, asking her if she was alright. Harriet awkwardly nods, attempted to leave as quick as possible while holding the cloth between her legs. However, the girl knew that Harriet wasn't okay. She grabbed Harriet's arm and stopped her. With her foot, she kicked the restroom's door open, revealing a lot of blood inside. The girl asked if 'that time of the month came without warning', but Harriet didn't understand. The girl immediately realised that it was Harriet's first time. The girl then pulled Harriet's arm, instructing to follow her.

Harriet had followed the green-haired girl despite her utter confusion. The girl introduced herself as Lena Jaeger, then remarked that Harriet looked familiar. Lena realised that Harriet had the same face as the boy with the switchblade, but instead thought that the boy was Harriet's twin brother. She then proceeded to help Harriet, offering her some products when it would happen again, and explained why it happened. Harriet hesitated, she asked why Lena would help her, to which Lena replied that girls should be helping each other instead of fighting. Before Harriet left, Lena showed her the switchblade. Harriet was surprised, a bit angry at Lena, but she felt relieved above all. Lena, thinking that it belonged to Harriet's twin brother, told Harriet to give it back to her brother. To avoid explanations, Harriet simply took the switchblade and thanked Lena.

Back in the Grand Cabin, Harriet was sanctioned for returning late from the task, and got suspended for a week, which she didn't mind. She wrote a letter to Mara and asked Smee to help her deliver it. Afterwards, she spoke to Eugenia, Smee's partner and the mother of his sons, about entering adolescence. Despite being exhausted after another busy day with the twins, Eugenia was glad to help Harriet in anything she could. However, Harriet didn't want to keep Eugenia awake, so she soon concluded the conversation. The following day Mara's reply to Harriet's letter arrived. Mara expressed her gladness to hear from Harriet, and told her that she could come visit Forge anytime.

After a week, Harriet was assigned another mission, but she made the abrupt decision to quit being a courier and focus on discovering herself. Harriet went searching for the green-haired girl that helped her the week before. When Harriet found Lena, the two girls spent time together and got to know each other better. Lena was a student of the Orion Academy, a hunting school in Colony. Harriet wanted to go to Orion Academy, but Captain Hook refused to sign her transfer slip, believing that, along with quitting the courier job, Harriet was starting her rebellious phase. He was about to give his daughter a heart-to-heart talk about entering adolescence, but he hesitated and dismissed Harriet instead.

Feeling once again rejected by her father, Harriet went to the Smees for comfort, but upon seeing them together as a complete family, the thought that she was just a burden to them took over her mind. Quietly, Harriet packed a few of her belongings and left the Grand Cabin. She headed to Colony and stayed in Lena's room without her parents knowing. That night, Harriet wrote a letter to Murph, explaining him the actual reason why she left.

The following morning, before Lena's parents were awake, Harriet told Lena that she wanted to stay in Colony. Lena asked Harriet where she would be staying, Harriet then asked Lena to convince her parents to let her stay, or at least, give her a few days until she could find somewhere else. Harriet then returned to Pirates Bay to tell the Smees and Murph about her departure.

The Smees were relieved to see Harriet again in the morning, but they weren't prepared for Harriet's decision. They urged Harriet to stay, assuring her that she's part of the family, but Harriet wasn't convinced. Harriet justified her departure as a journey of self-discovery and growth, and that if anything, they shouldn't be too worried about her. After a long discussion, the Smees decided to let Harriet go, reminding her that she could always return home whenever she wanted. Smee handed Harriet the necklace with Luisa's ring along the note that she left before her departure and told Harriet to keep them safe. Before departing, Harriet asked Smee to give her letter to Murph, and to send her regards to both Captain Hook and her brother Harry. She took the rest of her belongings and left Pirates Bay.

A not-so-Cinderella Story
The Jaegers were eager to receive Harriet, but on the condition that she would help them do house chores. Harriet accepted the deal and officially moved in with them. She also asked if they could help her enroll in Orion Academy, but they lied that the school didn't accept students without official transfer papers so they could keep Harriet home. For the first two weeks, Harriet was assigned small tasks, such as sweeping and washing the dishes, but as time went on, she was given almost all chores. Despite the abuse, Lena's parents still spoke to Harriet nicely, specially when their daughter was around. Lena began suspecting that her parents were exploiting their guest, so she asked Harriet if she was comfortable with everything. Harriet, afraid of being kicked out, lied that she was fine, and that she was only tasked with small chores.

One night, Lena snuck out to go to a party and she brought Harriet along. Harriet came in contact with smoking and alcohol. When a boy flirted with Harriet, she felt uncomfortable and rejected him. Lena then asked Harriet if she was gay, but Harriet didn't know that word. Lena explained to Harriet what it meant, and assured her that if Harriet were gay, it wouldn't alter their friendship. They returned home at dawn, but they were discovered by Lena's parents. Lena was grounded for three days, while Harriet was given harder chores, and she was threatened to be kicked out if she dared to tell Lena. A week later, Lena managed to steal some of her parent's liquor and shared it with Harriet in their room. After a few sips, Harriet kissed Lena, and the latter didn't reject the kiss either. However, they were caught by Lena's parents. Harriet was immediately expelled from the house. Lena attempted to stop her parents, but it didn't work. With nowhere else to go, Harriet considered returning to Pirates Bay, but on the way, she saw a poster advertising a cheap inn near to Forge. Luckily, Harriet still had her savings from the years working as courier and she paid for two nights in the inn.

The next day, Harriet asked the owner of the inn if she was allowed to stay if she worked there, but no jobs were available. However, the owner took advantage of Harriet's innocence and proposed another type of favour, which she could even earn extra money in addition, depending on her performance. Harriet asked what the favour consisted of, and the owner only requested her to follow him to his room. Right before the owner could take Harriet, Mara showed up to collect debts. She didn't recognise Harriet immediately, but she did realise what the owner was attempting to do. Mara drew out her gun and ordered the owner to let the girl go. Mara asked the girl if she was hurt, but Harriet was confused, she told Mara that she was fine, and that the owner was only asking her to do him a favour. Mara told Harriet to stay away from the owner and to get behind her. Still having him at gunpoint, Mara demanded the money. The owner took out money from the drawer and handed it to Mara. She then proceeded to ask the owner if he had enslaved any other girl. The owner promised that there were no young girls in the inn other than Harriet. Mara then asked Harriet if she needed to go get her belongings, which she said yes. Mara escorted Harriet to her room, while also searching if there were any other victims. Once done, they left the inn.

Outside, Harriet told Mara that she didn't need to do that, specifically mentioning her name. Upon hearing her own name, Mara realised that the girl in front of her was Harriet Hook. Mara proceeded to ask Harriet if she was forced into prostitution. Harriet, even though she didn't know the word, replied that she wasn't forced by anybody, and that she agreed to do the favour willingly. Mara then asked if Harriet knew what the favour consisted of, which Harriet said that the owner had just asked her to follow him to his room. Skipping the topic, Mara asked if Smee or Captain Hook knew where Harriet had been. Harriet told her that she had left more than a month ago, and that she was surprised that Smee didn't inform Mara, which led her to deduce that he must be too busy with his own family to even care. Not wanting to discuss on the streets, Mara brought Harriet to Forge.

Back on Forge, Harriet was reunited with her little sister CJ after six years. Mara checked Forge's mailbox again and found out that Smee's letter had fallen out and it was damaged by the mud. While CJ showed Harriet around, Mara wrote to Smee, telling him that she had just received his mail from last month, but she couldn't read it, and she informed him that Harriet was at Forge, seemingly still in good conditions. After sending the mail, Mara sat down with Harriet to talk about the past month and the reason which she had left Pirates Bay. Harriet told Mara the same thing that she had told the Smees a month ago, but Mara knew it wasn't the entire truth. However, she didn't want to force Harriet to talk right away, so she told Harriet to rest and to catch up the following day. For the rest of the day, CJ continued with the tour around Forge and introduced Harriet to everyone there. Among the young generation of Smiths was Blake, the chief's grandson, who immediately caught Harriet's attention.

Forge
A week had passed since Harriet arrived to Forge. During the first week, Harriet wrote a letter to Lena to give her updates about herself, but she doubted that it could safely reach Lena's hands. She also spoke to Mara, but she didn’t open up much, only telling things that Mara already knew. Harriet was summoned to talk to Elmer, the chief Smith. Elmer welcomed Harriet back to Forge and told her that he remembered when she first came there thirteen years ago, when Luisa ran away from Captain Hook. He then went straight to the point and told Harriet that everyone in Forge had a job, and if she wanted to stay there, she must train and start working like a Smith. Elmer asked Harriet what she could do, she told him about her years of experience as a courier. Elmer immediately put Harriet into the informant group and reminded her that trainings start at sunrise.

On the first day, Harriet's skills were tested and she excelled in almost all aspects, and with proper training, she should be out there doing missions soon. During the break, Blake approached to Harriet, expressing his hope to get to know her better, and wishing her good luck on her practice. Harriet thanked Blake and agreed to spend some time together to know each other. When Lena finally replied to Harriet's mail, she proposed to meet at a party. Harriet convinced Mara to let her out and invited Blake to come with her. The were allowed to go to the party, on the condition that they both show up the next day to their practice respectively. At the party, Lena was very excited to meet Harriet's friend and flirted with him. She showed Blake around while Harriet was left behind. Harriet wasn’t satisfied with Lena's actions, so she asked Lena to stop, to "spare herself from rejection". Lena accused Harriet of jealousy, then reminded Harriet that she was supposed to be into girls, not boys, so she should stick to the girls only and let Lena have Blake. The two get into a heated argument, which was interrupted by Blake. Harriet seized the opportunity and concluded the fight by kissing Blake in front of Lena. Upset, Lena left the party. Blake believed that Harriet was using him to make Lena jealous. He didn't want to be involved in the conflict, he asked Harriet not to drag him in any of her other quarrels and to put the whole "getting to know each other better" thing on hold. However, since they both promised to get back on time, Blake suggested Harriet to return to Forge with him. Harriet refused, she wanted to stay a while longer, but Blake didn't trust that she could manage to remember the way back, much less show up to practice on time. Harriet knew that Blake wouldn't leave without her, so she convinced him to stay with her for a little while, then they can return together. Blake accepted, giving her thirty minutes more, on the condition that she didn't drink nor smoke anything. Harriet got bored quickly since she wasn't able to drink, so she decided to leave the party and return to Forge with Blake.

For the following weeks, Harriet remained quiet, only speaking a few words when necessary. She was barely keeping up with training sessions and usually showed up late, looking tired. Some days she even forgot that she had training. Mara decided to give her a few days off and went on a trip with her to the northern part of the Isle of the Lost for three days. Harriet slowly opened up to Mara, starting with the recent complications with Lena and Blake. Mara commented that she already knew about it, since Blake's mother told her, but she decided not to say anything until Harriet herself talked about it. Mara advised Harriet to apologise to both Blake and Lena, and to honestly tell them how she felt about them. After the trip, Harriet spoke to Blake and asked to give the whole "getting to know each other better" thing a second chance. Blake forgave Harriet and accepted her as a friend. Reaching Lena was harder since she kept avoiding Harriet, but after a month, they reconciled.

A month before turning fourteen, Harriet officially became an informant for the Smiths. Her main tasks consisted of spying and collecting information on assigned target. For her fourteenth birthday, Mara and CJ planned a party for her. CJ invited the entire young generation of Smiths to the party, plus some other adults. Blake asked for a dance with Harriet, but she didn’t know how to dance, so he taught her. To thank Blake, Harriet kissed him on the cheek. Another big celebration was Christmas, something that Harriet had never heard of before. The Smiths had a special holiday tradition which consisted of everyone crafting a gift, but they don’t know who the gift is for, so they have to make the gift suitable for anyone, but most importantly, it must be something that represents themselves. Harriet, with the help of CJ, made a candle jar decorated with sand and seashells on the outside. Elmer was the receiver of her gift, while Harriet received Blake's gift, which is a keychain with nuts of different shapes screwed onto a bolt, forming an abstract figure.

Lena and Harriet's friendship grew stronger. Lena had come to terms with the fact that Blake and Harriet liked each other, although Harriet refused to admit it. She even encouraged Harriet to make a move, and teased her whenever she denied her feelings towards Blake. To solidify their friendship, they both got matching tattoos, a small number 14 on their left forearm. After two weeks, they both regretted their tattoo choice, but they stated that they wouldn't change it or remove it if they could.

It was getting harder for Harriet to ignore her interest for Blake. Aside from work shifts and sleep, they basically spent every second together. Harriet was insecure, specially since her last romantic relationship didn’t end well. She began experiencing sexual attraction, which added more doubts to her feelings towards Blake. Harriet went to Lena and confessed how she felt about Blake and the sensation of being close to him. Lena told Harriet that it was the sexual tension rising, but she failed to explain what sex really was. Later that night, Harriet decided to follow her desires and kissed Blake. They engaged in a passionate kiss which definitely sparked something.

Harriet and Blake were becoming more than friends, but neither of them had clearly expressed their feelings for the other. Harriet requested Blake not to tell anyone, and not to display any sign of affection when there were people around, so they would go somewhere private for their snogging sessions. Harriet enjoyed being "friends with benefits" with Blake, as she claimed that it didn't come with burden of emotionally investing in the relationship. Whenever she felt distressed, she sought Blake for comfort, but she wouldn't talk about any of her issues, and even forbade Blake to even mention it to anyone. Once again, Blake felt like he was being used. He told his grandfather Elmer and put an end to their relationship. Harriet was suspended from working for two weeks. Upset, she snuck out of Forge and went to Lena. Harriet asked Lena if they could go out that night, but Lena declined the offer since she had a test the next day. Harriet then looked for a party on her own and ended up on a shady club in Old Quarter. Desperate to make herself feel numb, Harriet drank alcohol excessively, probably with some drugs involved as well.

Harriet was found unconscious close to Forge at dawn. She was immediately brought to the encampment and was given the treatment for overdose. She didn't woke up until two days later. When she woke up, she found CJ sleeping next to her. She tried to rotate herself, but her entire body ached. Her whimper woke CJ up. CJ was happy to see sister awake, she went for a hug, but it caused Harriet's body more pain. CJ apologised. Mara rushed in upon hearing the voices of the girls. Harriet broke down in tears despite her own strict code of not crying in front of anyone. Mara sat down in the bed with both girls and the three just spent the moment in silence while holding each other's hands. Harriet soon drifted back to sleep. Mara told CJ to let her sister rest, but CJ refused to leave Harriet's side.

A few days later, Harriet began to recover. She opened up to Mara about the night she snuck out and the hallucinations she experienced. Despite not being able to remember anything clearly, Harriet stated that she had felt a strong urge to go home, so she exited the club, but she wasn't able to remember where she was or where she lived. Everything was blurry and distorted, but Harriet could recall hearing a voice that felt familiar, and a pair of cold hands that guided her through the darkness. At that moment, Harriet had thought that it was death coming for her, but the feeling of familiarity made her think of her mother. She also believed that she saw the face of a woman that looked like her before blacking out completely. It was uncertain if Harriet truly saw Luisa or it was all part of the hallucinations. However, it was also unknown how Harriet managed to appear unconscious close to Forge at dawn. Harriet herself chose to believe that it was her mother, in whichever form, who had brought her back to Forge.

A week later, Blake came to visit Harriet. He brought some treats that his mother made, but Harriet didn't like it much since it was made out of shrimp. However, she showed appreciation and thanked Blake's family. She apologised to Blake and suggested them to keep distance, since it was clear that Harriet had hurt him twice. Blake agreed on keeping some distance, but still encouraged Harriet to speak to him if she wanted to. Later that night, during dinner, CJ asked Harriet if Blake was her boyfriend. Harriet felt awkward about the subject, though she did answer her sister and told her that Blake was a good friend, the type that would stick around no matter what. However, CJ knew what was going on between Harriet and Blake, so she then teasingly asked if kissing was a "good friend" thing. Harriet ignored the topic and began talking about something else.

Mara suggested Harriet to have a diary to write down her thoughts and feelings, considering that Harriet often decide not to talk to anyone about her issues. A diary would serve as a way to establish internal dialogue and to understand oneself better, so it could be useful for Harriet to express herself if she didn't feel comfortable sharing with anyone. Mara gave Harriet a notebook and a pen, she suggested Harriet to start off like she was writing a letter to a very dear friend who is eager to read and not to judge. Harriet sat down and wrote the first entry of her diary, giving a brief introduction of herself and retelling the events of the previous week. She continued writing daily.

More weeks had passed and Harriet began to feel comfortable about opening up about herself. She occasionally went to Pirates Bay to visit the Smees and her friend Murph. The Smees also visited Forge and had dinner with the Smiths.

Things were finally going well. Harriet was hoping to start a serious relationship with Blake. She confessed her feelings towards Blake and asked for a fresh start, assuring that this time she had understood what she really wanted, which was to be with him. Blake was hesitant at first, but he had decided to follow his heart and accepted Harriet as his girlfriend. The two shared a kiss, marking the start of their romantic relationship.

Harriet wanted to take it slow, but her sex drive wanted to rush. She wanted to try having sex with Blake, but since she hadn't fully understood what it truly consisted of, she was too nervous to ask. Instead, she would act on her desires through touching. Mara sensed it was time for the talk and had a serious conversation with Harriet about sex, its risks and safety methods. Afterwards, Harriet felt quite discouraged about having sex with Blake, mostly due fear of ending up pregnant. Harriet became nervous around Blake and avoided making intimate physical contact with him. Blake knew something was wrong, so he asked Harriet what happened. Harriet initially refused to talk about the topic, but Blake brought it up and gave Harriet the option to drop it if she felt too uncomfortable. However, Harriet was determined to talk with Blake and establish common ground. After a few awkward lines and a lot of euphemism, they had managed to express their desires to try something safe whenever both of them felt ready. A few days later, they attempted non-penetrative sex, but it didn't result very satisfying since it was a very awkward first time for them both. Harriet had big doubts about herself and wondered if the reason why she didn't find that time with Blake satisfying was because she was actually more into girls. Harriet went to Lena, who she had kissed and told about her sexuality, and asked how Lena would feel if she had sex with a girl. Lena was confused by the question, but she replied that she wasn't interested in having sex with anyone at the moment. After that question, Lena then asked if Harriet had sex with Blake. Harriet affirmed that they kind off did, but it wasn't intercourse and it turned out to be rather disappointing. Lena then proceeded to give Harriet a condom and told Harriet to have fun, but not too much fun. Harriet and Blake continued with their second attempt, this time with more satisfying results, but it wasn't something that Harriet was eager to try again in a long time. The two continued experimenting together once in a while. Harriet grew much more comfortable with Blake and wasn't afraid of telling him everything that went through her mind.

Things started to crumble again a few weeks before Harriet turned sixteen. She started to feel energetic, she became more talkative and had a strong need to move around. She was eager to work and showed up very early, and even when she had completed her daily tasks, she asked for more. She didn't feel tired despite a long day of work. Sleep hours were lessened each day. On one of her days off, Harriet visited the workshop and offered to help there. Blake, who was working as a blacksmith apprentice, suggested Harriet to find something more entertaining than being in the workshop. Harriet replied that she wouldn't want to be anywhere else since she enjoyed seeing how the blacksmiths work, more specific, she wanted to be around Blake. The senior blacksmith agreed to let Harriet stay as long as she didn't interfere with their work. However, Harriet couldn't just stand still and watch. She began walking around and even purposely distracting Blake. Harriet was requested to leave, but she refused to do so. Blake then had to take Harriet outside and walk her to Mara's house. Harriet wanted to have sex with Blake right that moment, so she convinced him to follow her to her room, saying that she wanted him to check something that seemed to be broken. Once in her room, Harriet aggressively kissed Blake and pushed him onto her bed. She straddled him and told him to remove his clothes. Blake realised that Harriet wasn't herself and that she had been acting oddly for the past few days. He asked Harriet if she was okay lately, which she replied that she was more than okay, in fact, she was feeling perfectly great. Harriet went on rambling about how she was feeling in an exuberant manner. Blake came up with an excuse and managed to get out of the house without having Harriet chasing behind. He came back very late to the work and got sanctioned, as they believed that Blake went to have fun with Harriet while he was supposed to be working. Rumours quickly spread throughout Forge and reached Mara. She knew that Blake and Harriet had been involved sexually for a while, but she didn't think that they would skip work for that. Mara attempted to talk to Harriet, but Harriet didn't listen at all, each minute she interrupted and even started to act rather childish. Something wasn't right, normally Harriet would behave well and showed a decent level of maturity, though she occasionally exhibited some odd behaviour. The last time that things went out of control was roughly a year ago. Mara was worried that the same thing would happen again, so she had to come up with a plan to have Harriet occupied and hopefully could calm her down. She proposed to have a late night baking with CJ and Harriet. They had fun, although it was exhausting for Mara keep up with Harriet. When CJ went to sleep, Harriet and Mara stayed behind to clean up. It seemed like Mara's plan had worked, Harriet was calmer. Once done cleaning, they went to sleep. Mara assured Harriet that the three of them could have the next day off, so they could sleep until afternoon if they liked to. Harriet did get some sleep that night, but she woke up after four hours.

As Harriet returned to her usual self, she became aware of her unusually euphoric behaviour during the recent past days. She recalled the things that happened, but she was unable to remember everything clearly, especially her thoughts during those moments. Harriet confronted Blake about what happened and apologised. Blake forgave her, but he wasn't sure if he could continue handling the situation if it were to repeat, thus putting their relationship in doubt. Harriet assured that there wouldn't be more situations, as she would keep them all under control, though deep down, she knew that it was out of her reach. However, Gaia, Blake's mother, intervened and requested Harriet to stay away from her son, as it was best for them both to focus on their respective jobs. Harriet dismissed Gaia's request, though she wanted to hear Blake's opinion. She asked Blake if he truly wanted to break up with her. Blake didn't precisely expressed his intention to end their relationship, but he did agree that they needed to focus on their respective jobs for the moment. Harriet understood that it was an indirect break up, so she considered it to be an official break up. Mara noticed that Harriet was feeling down and asked her what happened. Harriet told Mara about the break up. Before things could fall down, Mara encouraged Harriet to seize the opportunity and learn to be independent, as she should never depend on anyone completely. Mara later assigned Harriet on a long-term mission in Dragon Hall, an infamous northern school. Harriet was put into intensive training and given the necessary information in order to carry out the mission.

Dragon Hall
Two months after her sixteenth birthday, Harriet was sent to Dragon Hall to gather more information on Dr. Facilier and retrieve an item that the Smiths believed to be in his possession. Harriet cut her hair shorter, dyed it red and adopted the undercover identity of "Harper Scarlett", a girl from Red Sector. Once enrolled in the school, Harriet met Mal, the self-declared queen of Dragon Hall and daughter of Maleficent. Mal attempted to give the new student a hard time, but Harriet appeared unbothered. Mal was annoyed by Harriet's nonchalant attitude, so, along with Mad Maddy, they once again attempted to torment Harriet. They invited Harriet to a party and set up a trap, but Harriet didn't show up. The new girl acted too strange, so they decided to change their plan and instead, they tried to dig her secrets. They followed Harriet after school, but Harriet was aware, so she misled them until they were out of sight. The pair of mean girls were becoming increasingly upset with the new student, who had outsmarted them in all occasions. They made up rumours and spread them throughout the school, believing that it would turn the entire student body against Harriet. One of the main rumours claimed that Harriet was a spy from Auradon who had came to study the VK's to later kidnap some of them and put in Auradon's circuses. Harriet found the Auradon part incredibly absurd, but the spy part could sabotage the entire mission. Harriet returned to Forge to give updates on the mission. She was suggested to put aside the rivalry and to make a bigger effort to blend in, but she had no idea how to do that. She asked CJ for ideas, which CJ suggested her to propose a challenge to Mal and Maddy, something that Harriet is good at, in which each side propose their own rewards if they win, and Harriet would propose them to leave her alone. Harriet liked the idea of challenges, but she wasn't convinced that Mal and Maddy would eventually keep their words even if Harriet won. Instead, Harriet came up with the idea to turn the girls against each other.

The following day, while thinking about a plan to turn Mal and Maddy against each other, Harriet overheard Mal talking to Ginny Gothel about how she wished Maddy had a different hair colour since people could hardly tell them apart. Harriet decided to use it as leverage. She later personally spoke with Maddy and told her about Mal's intention to change Maddy's hair colour. Initially, Maddy refused to believe Harriet's words, but she eventually started to doubt, as she began to realise that Mal had always been annoyed whenever people thought they were twins. Harriet also commented the fact that ever since she arrived to Dragon Hall, she had noticed that it was always Maddy following Mal's orders and not the other way around, and she speculated that Maddy rarely got the chance to decide anything. The more Maddy thought about all the years with Mal, the more insecure she felt. Harriet told Maddy that she deserved to be respected, to be heard, and to be herself, all of which couldn't be accomplished because she had been overshadowed by Mal. Maddy thanked Harriet for helping her see her true potential. The two became allies.

Moving on to the next step, Harriet needed to gain more allies. She reached out to Ginny Gothel and quickly gained her full attention after giving her a bottle of shampoo. Harriet asked Ginny about her thought on Mal. Ginny said that she didn't think Mal was that special, she was only feared because she's Maleficent's daughter, then proceeded to and criticises her hairstyle. Harriet then asked about Maddy. Ginny showed more fondness towards Maddy, commenting that the latter had a better taste and at least knew how to style her hair. Ginny also complimented on Harriet's hair, saying that she liked the soft waves, but she would like it more if her hair was longer.

Subsequently, Maddy and Ginny talked and they became friends. With one less rival off her shoulders, Harriet proceeded with her mission. At late afternoon, when students had left, she attempted to enter the school's forbidden library to search, but she was caught by Anthony Tremaine, the grandson of Lady Tremaine. Harriet told Anthony that she got lost while looking for the Faculty Chambers. Anthony asked who Harriet wished to see, as all teachers had left. Harriet wanted to talk to Lady Tremaine about a recent assignment she gave. Anthony proudly presented himself as her grandson and he offered to pass the message to Lady Tremaine. Harriet told Anthony not to bother, as she could just ask the following day. Anthony then offered to escort Harriet home, as it could be dangerous for a fine lady to return home on her own. Harriet declined and Anthony continued to insist. She then accepted, but once they were out of school, Anthony invited her to have dinner with him. Harriet turned down the invitation. Anthony continued with his attempts to impress her. Annoyed, Harriet told Anthony to go away. Anthony then threatened to tell Dr. Facilier that he saw her trying to get into the forbidden library. Harriet told Anthony that he didn't have any clear evidence to prove it. Anthony then reminded her that his grandmother is Lady Tremaine, who was the deputy headmistress. He then presented her a deal, he would not tell anyone if Harriet became his girlfriend. Harriet accepted. Anthony then requested her to come over to his mansion in Aschenburg and spend the night with him.

Harriet refused, telling him that she was feeling a little dizzy, which was probably why she got lost and ended up near the library. Anthony kept insisting, he claimed that his grandmother had the perfect remedy for dizziness, adding more reasons for Harriet to come with him. Harriet couldn't come up with more excuses, so she decided to come with Anthony. While they walked, Anthony held her hands tightly and attempted to touch her more intimately several times. Harriet convinced Anthony to take the way that went across Red Sector to get as close to Forge as possible. Once near Forge, Harriet stopped and kissed Anthony. Anthony immediately reacted and kissed Harriet aggressively, pushing her against the tin wall, which Harriet also purposely rammed herself harder against it to create a loud noise. While Anthony was too distracted kissing Harriet's neck, Harriet slowly pulled him backwards until she reached a rubbish bin and kicked it to make more noise. The noises alerted the Smiths. Blake came out to check and found Anthony's hands all over Harriet's body. He quickly rushed to the scene and interrupted the moment. He looked at Harriet and saw she mouthed the word "help". Blake pretended that he didn't know Harriet and he asked the pair who they were. Anthony quickly replied, he introduced himself and the girl as his girlfriend. Blake was shocked, but he had to play along for the sake of Harriet's mission. He then proceeded to ask Harriet if her "boyfriend" was harassing her. Harriet stated that she didn't know what the word meant. Blake explained what harassing meant, but Anthony soon cut him off, telling him that he had no rights to interfere in their relationship. The two soon engaged in an intense quarrel, and when Anthony was distracted, Harriet left and got inside Forge. Blake concluded the argument by pointing out that Anthony's "girlfriend" seemed to be too bored to stick around. Anthony got irritated when he realised that Harriet was gone. He blamed Blake for stealing his girlfriend. Elmer and other older Smiths intervened and dismissed Anthony.

Harriet told the Smiths about the situation and that she might have to abort the mission since Anthony would probably tell Dr. Facilier that he saw her trying to sneak into the library. Mara calmed Harriet down and assured her that together they could come up with something. Later, Blake approached to Harriet and asked her if she was alright. Harriet said that she was fine and thanked Blake for helping her. Blake then requested to speak to Harriet privately afterwards. The Smiths began discussing what Harriet should do next to carry on with the mission. Someone suggested to play along in case Anthony tells Dr. Facilier about Harriet's attempt to access the library. Harriet would have to defend the fact that she was feeling dizzy and got lost. Anthony would most probably declare that it was a lie, but Harriet would then point out the fact that Anthony took advantage of her fatigueness and harassed her. However, in case that Dr. Facilier decided to trust Anthony and dismiss Harriet's point of the story, they had to come up with another solution. After a long debate, they had managed to cover most of the likely outcomes and proposed a solution to each case. Blake had waited outside until the debate concluded to talk to Harriet. He told Harriet what he felt when he saw Anthony touching her. He expressed his wish to punch Anthony in the face for doing that to Harriet, and that he was glad that "the bastard" hadn't reached the forbidden zone, although the last part he didn't manage to finish saying it since Harriet interrupted him. Harriet laughed, she told Blake that he was acting like a jealous boyfriend. Blake denied that he was jealous, claiming that he was only concerned about Harriet's wellbeing. Harriet teased Blake for it, but eventually decided to let it go since she was too tired to continue. She leaned in for a kiss, but Blake refused it, jokingly stating that he wasn't fond of kissing another guy's lips through her lips.

The next day, Harriet arrived earlier to Dragon Hall to talk to Dr. Facilier. She first started out by asking for his knowledge on certain subjects to draw out information. Shortly after, Lady Tremaine arrived and requested to speak with the Headmaster, but upon seeing the girl, she barged in the office, stating that "Harper Scarlett" had assaulted her grandson last night and demanded immediate expulsion from the school. Harriet was greatly enraged by the false accusations. She spoke up and affirmed that Lady Tremaine was lying, since Harriet was the one that got assaulted and harassed by Anthony. Lady Tremaine accused Harriet of playing the victim while she was clearly the aggressor. Dr. Facilier, to put an end to the argument, asked Lady Tremaine to head to her class as the students must be waiting for her. Harriet also prepared to leave afterwards, but Facilier stopped her. He poured her some sort of reddish drink and gave it to her, stating that it would calm her nerves. Harriet drank it, it tasted sweet, sour and bitter at the same time, along with a hint of alcohol. Dr. Facilier asked Harriet to tell him the truth about what happened the day before. Suddenly, Harriet felt talkative. She mentioned her problem with Mal and Maddy, how she had solved it by turning Maddy against Mal. When Facilier asked Harriet about how she had encountered with Anthony, Harriet almost slipped out the fact that she tried to break into the library. She refrained herself, but felt dizzy while doing so. Facilier urged Harriet to continue talking, as it was the only way to solve it fast. Harriet realised that the drink was drugged, probably with some type of truth potion. She asked to go to the bathroom, which Facilier denied. He insisted on getting Harriet to talk. He then asked who she really was. Harriet then replied "Harper Hook" and quickly realised that she had revealed half of her real identity. She stormed out of the office, but the effects of the drug didn't allow her to run too far away. luckily, she ended up near Yen Sid's classroom. He helped her get up and let her rest in his classroom while he prepared something to counter the effects of the drug. Harriet slowly recovered. The feeling reminded her of that time that she woke up after overdosing. When Yen Sid told Harriet that the recovery could be nasty, she replied that it wasn't her first time going through something like that. She asked if Dr. Facilier had used similar methods to other students, which Yen Sid said that there had been a couple of cases.

TBA...

Dr. Facilier informed Captain Hook's about his daughter's appearance in his school and her apparent relationship with the Smiths. Captain Hook knew that his daughter was working for the Smiths, but he decided to tell Facilier that Harriet was having an adventure of her own. Once things were settled, Captain Hook arrived to Forge and ordered Harriet to return to the Grand Cabin. He could had say that it was to protect both Harriet and the Smiths, but instead, he said that it was the only thing that Harriet could do to thank him for saving her from the failed mission. Harriet refused to leave, she begged the Smiths to let her stay, but the Smiths knew that it wasn't safe for neither side. Mara asked Harriet to leave, as it was the only way to be safe. Harriet was upset. She threw tantrums and wreaked the encampment. Before leaving, she told CJ the truth about their father and told her that he was never the "hero" that she had pictured, that he was a coward who never cared about anyone but himself and his stupid Pirate King title.

Back to the Pirate life
Against Harriet's own expectations, she was given a room in the High Chambers of the Grand Cabin. She suspected her father's welcoming behaviour, believing that he wanted something in return. She asked Smee if to tell her, but he assured her that Captain Hook just wanted Harriet to feel comfortable. However, despite having a room in the High Chambers, Harriet still occasionally sleeps in her old room at the Smee's apartment.

For the first few weeks, Harriet spent all day outside the Grand Cabin, only returning at nights and barely slept. She wandered through different districts, sometimes she pickpocketed drunkards. She spent time doing dangerous activities, which she justified it as a need to try to feel something enjoyable, but she usually lost interest soon after doing them. A few times she went to Orion Academy parties with Lena. At one of the parties, she met the Bloody Marys, an all-female crew of pirate-huntresses. Margo, one of the Bloody Marys, flirted with Harriet. After a few drinks and kisses, they had sex in the school's basement. After the encounter, both called it an enjoyable one-time experience and remained friends. Aside from wandering and parties, Harriet went to the Rocky Forest to revisit her old hideout, but she couldn't find the entrance as it was heavily covered in mud and a big rock blocked the way. She also claimed that she once tried to sneak into a goblin's barge to escape the Isle.

Wanting to reconnect with his childhood friend, Murph offered to teach Harriet swordsmanship. Harriet accepted and started to train with him. During one of the practice sessions, Harriet got a deep cut on her left arm. The injury got stitched up, but without proper equipment, it was extremely painful. To ease the pain, Harriet was given alcohol to drink. A few days later, the wound got infected and Harriet fell ill. Captain Hook asked for the help from the sea witch Ursula. She prepared a sea weed paste and instructed to warm it up in a clean cauldron before applying to the wound, remove it after six hours, then repeat the process. After three weeks, the wound started to heal properly and Harriet began to recover. During this time, Murph had blamed himself for hurting his friend. Harriet reassured him that it wasn't his fault but rather hers, since she was distracted. However, Murph still insisted that the fault was his.

During her recovery, Mara came to visit, but Harriet wasn't pleased by her presence. She asked Mara to leave and never return again. Mara told Harriet not to worry about seeing her again in Pirates Bay, since she didn't have any intention to return. Before leaving, Mara gave Harriet an envelope, telling her that "it" was already made, so it was up to Harriet to decide if she wanted to claim it or not, and in case she did, she come to Forge. After Mara left, Harriet opened the envelope. Inside, there were drawings of a revolver from different angles. Harriet had understood that the gun was for her, but she also thought that it came with a price. She decided to wait.

One day, while resting in her room, Harry visited his older sister. Harry congratulated Harriet for not having her arm chopped off yet. He also had found out about the drawings of the gun that Mara gave Harriet, so he asked to see them. Harriet denied, saying that she had burnt them. Harry knew that she hadn't, so he searched her drawers. Irritated by Harry's intrusion, Harriet slapped him. She told him to leave. Harry refused to do so and threatened to tell their father about the gun. Harriet argued that it wouldn't matter much, since he couldn't exactly take something from Harriet if she didn't even have it. Harry didn't know what else to say, so he decided to leave Harriet's room, but he stated that he wouldn't quit until he could see the real gun. Later, Harriet went to Sammy to ask for information about Harry. Sammy told Harriet that Harry had been involved with Ursula's daughter Uma lately, running errands for her. Harriet wondered if Harry wanted to take the gun to Uma.

The following day, Harriet headed to Ursula's Fish & Chips, both to thank Ursula for helping her and to talk to Uma. She came with a bottle of wine that she took from Captain Hook's cellar and gave it to Ursula. After a brief chat with Ursula, which Uma had eavesdropped, Harriet came out and took a seat. When Uma came to take Harriet's meal order, she said that didn't know that Harry had an older sister. Harriet wasn't surprised with the fact that Harry never mentioned his sisters, considering that he didn't grow up with any of them. Harriet then asked Uma if she had any siblings, which she didn't, only cousins. Uma then pressured Harriet to order something or leave. Harriet ordered an alcoholic drink. Uma asked whether it was too early for that, which Harriet replied that surely it must be not so early somewhere in Auradon. Uma stated that she doubted that Auradonians even drink at all, then left. Shortly after, Harry came and saw Harriet. He was annoyed, he asked what Harriet was doing there. Harriet replied that she came to thank Ursula and to have a peaceful drink. Harry wanted his sister out, but Uma told him that she wasn't a threat, so there were no reasons to kick her out. A few minutes later, a man started to flirt with Harriet, which made Harry feel strangely bothered. He told the man to stop and ordered him to leave the place. The man, irritated, insulted Harry, calling him a cissy. Harriet stood up and stated that only she had the rights to insult her brother. After a few exchange of insults, a fight broke out, involving fists and lots of food thrown in the air. Everyone was kicked out and were banned from returning forever, with the exception of the Hook siblings, who were obliged to clean the place and wash the dishes for an entire month. Harriet and Harry bonded during that period of time, and although they spent most of the time arguing and annoying each other, they secretly enjoyed being partners in punishment.

After the punishment was over, Harriet headed to Forge, where she was given the gun and subsequently, was taught to use it properly. Blake wanted to initiate a conversation with her, but she turned him down. Before leaving Forge, Harriet briefly flirted with Sage, a young informant.

Rebel Riots
Harriet was seventeen when she founded the Rebel Riots.

Personality
Harriet is a fighter, once she is determined to fight for someone or something, she would do it until she succeeds. Her determination tends to lead to stubbornness. She hardly changes her mind about something she believes to be right, even if it could result to be incorrect or even morally questionable. She often acts impulsively, performing actions without thinking rationally nor considering all the outcomes. She has the tendency to ignore the consequences and fails to assume responsibilities that comes along her actions.

Harriet also has a soft spot for children, becoming more protective over them, specially when it comes to her family, like her younger sister CJ and the Smee boys.

Harriet shows symptoms of bipolar disorder. At first, it appeared as mild mood alterations, but untreated, the symptoms became clearer. Harriet has always been insecure about her mental condition. She was aware of her abnormal mood swings, but she didn't speak about it to anyone, and usually avoided the subject when someone tried to bring it up. She had the tendency to push her mental issues aside and pretended that she didn't have them. When someone insisted on helping Harriet coping with it, she would deny it. Eventually, with the help and support from friends and family, Harriet had came to terms with her mental health and eventually accepted it. However, she still has a hard time openly sharing it with others due fear of rejection and mockery.

When on manic episodes, Harriet becomes restless, running and bouncing around, accompanied with exaggerated gestures. She talks rapidly and loudly, usually incoherently, changes from one idea to another, sometimes she repeats phrases that don't have any apparent meaning. She often sees everything either as a challenge or a challenger, engaging in dangerous activities and getting herself in trouble. Sometimes, she shows lack of empathy and becomes aggressive, even manipulative towards her loved ones. Depending on the severity of the episode and the involvement of substances, Harriet can "black out" and not remember most of the things that happened during the episode.

When on depressive episodes, Harriet becomes silent and fatigued. She usually stays somewhere quiet, where she can't be bothered, and remains there for an extended period of time. She spends most of her days asleep, as it was her way to escape from reality, and when she cannot fall asleep, she often drinks alcohol to help her fall asleep. Her diet becomes unbalanced, she eats very little to nothing at all, usually consuming unhealthy food. The lower she feels, the less she talks. Harriet keeps a small notebook where she writes down thoughts and dreams she have, the latter being the most common, but they are always incomplete because she either can't remember them fully or she is too tired to continue writing. She has recurring self-harming thoughts and even attempted suicide in more than one occasion.

Physical Appearance
Harriet has a slim figure, but quite fit. She has a high stature, the highest compared to other female members of Rebel Riots. She has long black hair, thick and wavy. Her eyes are pale blue. She also has light freckles on her face.

Jewellery

 * Luisa's ring: A metallic ring that used to belong to Harriet's mother. This ring was left to Harriet before Luisa left the Grand Cabin, along with a note. Smee had the ring safely stored until Harriet was old enough to keep it. Smee bought a thin metallic chain from the Smiths and put the ring on it so it could be worn like a necklace. He gave it to Harriet on her tenth birthday, but she didn't wear it as she was still working as a courier. At thirteen, after quitting her job, Harriet wore it like a necklace until she was sixteen. She removed the ring from the chain and wore it on her finger, while she still wore the chain around her neck. After lying to Zoe, Harriet offered the ring as compensation. When Zoe asked Mara about the ring that Harriet gave her, Mara jokingly told her that the ring was meant to pay Harriet's funeral, following a traditional pirate practice. Zoe later returned Harriet the ring. Subsequently, Harriet alternated between wearing the ring on her finger and as necklace.

Weapons

 * Revolver: A single barrel gun crafted by the Smiths.
 * Switchblade: A small switchblade, crafted by the Smiths. Mara gave it to Harriet before leaving Pirates Bay. It has an H engraved on the handle.
 * Sword: A small sword, resembling a shorter and lighter rapier. However, Harriet doesn't usually carry it around and keeps it in her cabin on Black Star.

Others

 * Diary: A notebook where Harriet wrote down her thoughts and dreams. Mara suggested Harriet to write a diary to discover and understand herself, and also as a way to keep track of her mood swings. Harriet only wrote when she was stable and often wrote excessively when she was feeling down. She rarely wrote during manic episodes, and when she did, it was usually short, consisting of incoherent words and sentences, written in an almost illegible handwriting. A few pages had been damaged or ripped off by Harriet during a manic episode. Harriet had only allowed four people to read fragments of her diary, these are CJ, Mara, Murph and Zoe. The diary was stolen by Tom Ibarzabal on Chapter 10. When the diary was returned, Harriet decided to burn it.

Captain Hook
Captain Hook is Harriet's father. They have never been close. Captain Hook looked down on Harriet, barely caring about her.

Harry Hook
Harry Hook is Harriet's younger half-brother. Despite being siblings, they didn't grow up together. When they were younger, Harry deemed himself as superior than Harriet for being male. The two often bickered. However, as he grew up and befriended with Uma, his view on girls and women changed. The siblings bonded after being punished by Ursula together for starting a fight in her place. They maintained a good relationship, even though they do not interact much after Harriet moved out of the Grand Cabin. Harry knew that Harriet intended to start her own crew, so he wished her luck. Upon hearing that Harriet had successfully seized the Black Star, Harry sent a congratulations letter to her. A month later, Harriet invited her brother to celebrate Christmas with her friends, but Harry declined.

CJ Smith
Calista Jane "CJ" Smith is Harriet's younger half-sister. The two share a close bond. Harriet adored CJ and was often overprotective with her. However, when Harriet realised that Captain Hook had a soft spot for CJ, she felt jealous to the point that she even intended to sabotage that relationship. Later on, she heard a rumour that Captain Hook had plans to escape the Isle, or perhaps, to send someone to Auradon. Harriet believed that the escape plan was for Hook himself, although in reality, it was his plan to send CJ to Auradon. Harriet took advantage of her sister's close relationship with their father and wanted CJ to get information for her. At that moment, CJ was already informed about the plan, except that she was told that Harriet would also come along, and was instructed to keep quiet as it was meant to be a surprise. Unintentionally, CJ revealed to her father that Harriet had sent her over to get information. Captain Hook then instructed his youngest not to tell Harriet the truth, and instead, to give false information. CJ listened and did it, without realising the consequences. The sisterhood was severed when Harriet found out that CJ (unintentionally) had set her up and led her to a trap.

Murph
Brandon Murphy, better known as Murph, is Harriet's lifelong friend. They've known each other since they were infants. Unlike other boys, Murph never thought Harriet to be lesser for being a girl. He deeply respected her and supported her no matter what. When Harriet changed her identity to "Henry", Murph didn't mind and helped her fitting in with the other boys. As Harriet reached preadolescence, she claimed back her name Harriet and became a new bullying target for the boys that she used to play with. Murph stood up for her and got into a fight with the bullies. Harriet didn't want Murph to get hurt from protecting her again, so she began spending time alone and far away from Pirates Bay. Eventually, Harriet moved out of the Grand Cabin at 14. Despite Harriet's absence from Pirates Bay throughout her early to mid teens, they still remained good friends after several years apart. Harriet asked Murph to be the Quartermaster of her crew and Murph accepted.

Lena Jaeger
Lena Jaeger is a close friend of Harriet. They first met when they were kids, when Harriet was still known as "Henry", but Harriet didn't remember much about Lena. They met again at 13, when Harriet was struggling with puberty changes. Lena immediately recognized Harriet and offered help. The two became close friends and partners in crime, often sneaking into bars and stealing from drunkards. At 14, they got their first tattoo together - both tattooed the number 14 on their left forearm. They both later admitted that it was an embarrassing tattoo choice, but they wouldn't change or remove it if they were given the chance. While exploring her sexuality, Harriet kissed Lena once, but Lena didn't feel the same. The two remained friends and agreed not to talk about it.

Violette Dubois
Violette was Harriet's first love. They met when Harriet was 10 and Violette was 9. Harriet was known as "Henry" by that time. After receiving a month of holidays, "Henry" decided to go to Argo Nautica, hoping to catch up with her old friends. However, when she arrived, she witnessed the group of boys harassing Violette. "Henry" decided to act, she drew the boys' attention towards her and had them chase after her. Once the boys had lost sight of her, "Henry" returned to the docks and helped Violette. The two soon grew close and started developing feelings for each other. They often pretend played to be husband and wife, and that they had a daughter named Iris. They were each other's best memories of childhood. Shortly after "Henry" turned 11, Violette discovered that "Henry" was actually a girl named Harriet. Violette felt disgusted and ended their relationship.
