Early Life
Harper Vale is from the Upper East Side of Manhattan, United States. A child of wealth and privilege, she enjoyed a charmed existence although she resented the strict upbringing of her parents. She was taught to be polite and courteous, but also warm and charming. She was never to disagree and always smile regardless of the circumstance. She was instructed to be kind but firm, yet never to disrespect or voice an opinion of dissent as to not upset anyone around her. The rules of etiquette were ingrained into her. For all the sins that existed in her world, none was taken more seriously than bringing shame to the Vale Foundation.
The Vale Foundation was one of the largest philanthropic organizations in the United States, donating anywhere between thirty-five and seventy-five million dollars annually to any number of charities. Harper quietly resented being part of an upper crust society and hated even more that she'd become nothing more than the Poor Little Rich Girl cliché.
In her last attempt to escape from a life that meant cocktail parties, silent auctions, gala season planning, and society section photographs, she took the Compatibility Test and fell within optimal conditions. She was offered an invitation to become an Initiate; an invitation she eagerly accepted.
As an Initiate
Harper attended the New York, United States training facility.
As Part of the Order

Harper's Handler is Scarlett Erickson.
Physical Appearance
Harper is considered by many of her peers to be beautiful. She has light brown eyes with medium-brown hair with blond highlights and darker lowlights. She tends to wear minimal makeup (if any) and dresses in casual clothes, preferring jeans and a sweater to virtually any other option. She's on the taller side of average female height and has the same slender yet muscular build that other female Agents have. She has no visible distinguishing features such as birthmarks or scars.
Powers and Skills
Harper is an inducted member of the Order and has received the final injection of Compound 36 to make the abilities it grants permanent.
As such, she has the normal complement of abilities granted by the compound:
|
Like all members of the Order, she can further activate the inert Compound 36 in her body to augment the aforementioned abilities even further. There is great risk involved in doing so, as pushing beyond an acceptable limit aggravates any side-effects of the Compound and can also lead to uncontrollable rage and an inability to form rational thought, relying purely on instinct and survival. Once this occurs, there is no treatment and the Order labels the individual an Aberration that is subsequently hunted and killed.
Harper also has a specialized Compound 36 ability. She has the ability to sense Compound 36 in others and can track anyone exposed to the Compound. Harper uses this ability by activating the Compound in her eyes, which allows her to see traces of the compound in the air as well as emanating from anyone exposed to it. She can then quite literally follow the visual trails of the Compound relative to its half-life when not biochemically bound to the individual from which they are emanating.
This is an uncommon, but not all together unique, skill. There is always at least one individual within the Order at any given time with this skill. This individual is usually referred to as the Oculus.
Other Information
Harper is fluent in English and Italian.
