In Depth Appearance: Harmonia is quite the beautiful girl, acquiring traits from both of her good looking parents. The first thing people notice when they look at her are her striking pale blue, almond shaped eyes. They are partially wide set and compliment her slim, heart shaped face that is always framed by medium length blonde hair. She has a petite frame, coming in at about 5'2 and weighs in at a skinny 110lbs with only a whisper of curve where it counts. She is always well groomed and bears no scars or tattoos, but has a single Industrial ear piercing on her left ear, typically hidden by her hair. Everyday casual attire for Harmonia consists of a buttoned up collared shirt under a pastel colored sweater, paired with simple jeans, leggings, or skirt with ankle boots or sneakers, or anything else rather comfortable but girly looking.
[See Examples Here] When performing a piece on stage or in a competition, she takes a more extravagant style, often wearing long show stopping dresses.
[Example Here] Habits | Quirks | Oddities - Busy Fingers - Harmonia's fingers always seem to be moving, whether it's twirling a pencil around or tapping on things as if they were a piano.
- Awkward Silence - She feels uncomfortable in silence and needs to have some sort of noise in order for her to feel calm. She cannot sleep without her radio turned to the classical music station. During test taking, she will often tap her pencil faintly against her desk to keep herself calm and focused.
- OCD - Harmonia cannot stand when things are out of place or in disorder or messy. She is a perfectionist and simply cannot leave things as they are unless it is in perfect place. Her clothes in her closet are color coordinated, shoes lined up based upon color, things like that.
- No Socks - She cannot stand to see socks on her bed and cannot sleep with them on. Actually, it's safe to say she has an irrational hatred towards them, always removing hers as soon as she gets home.
- Repeating - Like like like like like like like like like like like like like like. She says it a lot.

Personality: ♦ Intelligent ♦ Brutally Honest ♦ Creative ♦ Withdrawn ♦
Harmonia is not an individual that is hard to understand. She can be described as a true Aquarius, humanitarian to the core. She is broad-minded and creative, a real truth-seeker. Being affectionate and friendly by nature, she attractive and popular. However, her frankness can cut both ways. Within limits it can be a positive quality, but when it borders on the insensitive, it can really hurt people and alienate her from her friends and loved ones. She's not one to open up emotionally too soon, so not many people can relate to her unless they share the same passion for music as she does. As a result, though she may have many "friends", not many of them are close friends. Being unpredictable is another negative trait that works against her when trying to get people to understand her. She is spontaneous, to the extreme, and it can throw people off and even make others want to stay away from her. Harmonia has trouble keeping friends because of this, as one may think they know her until she does something they least expected. In the end, she doesn't really care who likes her or considers her a friend. All that matters to her is her music and touching the hearts of those who understand that it's the easiest way for her to express herself and her true emotions.
History: Harmonia was born to a pair of travelling musicians who were forced to settle down in California after her birth on Valentine's Day seventeen years ago. Her father was a member of a well known Orchestra that had their start in New York, and her mother was a member of a Choir from the same institution. Together, along with their peers, the two lovebirds travelled all over the United States and Europe, performing with their groups prior to Harmonia's birth. When they settled into the Hills, they raised Harmonia together, pouring their passion for music into her from the moment she was born.
It was when she was four that her mother began showing her how to play the piano. Her father got a job in a local music shop, teaching others how to properly care for their musical instruments and giving music lessons ranging from guitar to woodwind instruments. Until she was old enough to attend school, Harmonia's mother stayed at home and taught her slowly how to play the piano, and by the time she was 7, she was pretty much a pro. Her mother's lessons were strict to the point where she'd strike her daughter for making even the tiniest mistake. Though this in time moulded her into become a great pianist, it came at the cost of a meaningful relationship with her mother.
When Harmonia enrolled in school, she immediately found her place in the music room, often retreating there because she didn't want to be around her other classmates. Her mother got a job in a Performing Arts College and at the same time, attended so that she may further her own education. Fast forward ten lonely years and Harmonia's parents are still more focused on their occupations than their own daughter. She too buries herself in her work as a pianist and performer. Her father now owns a music shop, and her mother is now the President of the Performing Arts College she used to attend. While the two were constantly moving forward with their careers, Harmonia still struggles to catch up with them, desperately wanting to be noticed for her efforts. Her dream is to attend her mother's school upon graduation from Beverly Hills High, and as a result, has put aside everything else but her music. Her friends, classwork, and even her other hobbies come second to this.
She will do whatever it takes to be the best and finally gain the recognition she desires.
