About CharacterRelationship status: Single
Sexuality: Not really straight..curious perhaps? She loves everyone.
Hobbies: Listening to music, staring up at the moon, learning new things, meeting new people, singing, and counting the stars.
Preferred weapon: She isn't really a weapon user for the most part.
Secret: She knows very well that whenever she uses her powers, she's only using a fraction of her true potential.
Personality: Harmony is basically the epitome of a shy type character. She's quiet, sheepish, and easy to fluster. However at the same time she is an incredibly sweet person as well. As young in mind as she is at heart, she finds joys in the simple things in life.
All the while she is a very bright individual who is very quick to learn new things. She has a knack for tinkering and working hard which is what landed her with her job as a mechanic/engineer.
All in all she is the kind of person that can make others feel welcomed, warm, and cared about. Everyone who has ever met her has been affected by her in one way or another.
Another side of her comes out when she sings though and she sings quite often. Her voice is soft, sad, and tugs on even the toughest of people's heart strings. She sings of sorrow, loneliness, and stories of people long gone. It is almost like she's trying to tell a story when she sings..but the moment she stops, she's back to her old cheerful self.
Job:Harmony works as an engineer and mechanic, fixing things that people bring to her. She can fix anything and everything with just one glance at it. Her talent was discovered when the head mechanic of a store found that he had been brought a car that simply did not work. No matter what he did to it he could not figure out what was wrong.
Just as he was about to throw in the towel he heard a soft voice behind him telling him what was wrong. When he turned he found himself looking down at little more than a small child. At first he brushed off her suggestion but then he realized that it was something he had not yet tried. So, to humor her, he followed her advice. Naturally the car started when he turned the key.
Off that basis alone he offered her a job with an advance that would allow her to buy her own home. She took the job willingly and began to work the next day, and has been working at that very same shop ever since. She's a natural grease monkey.
Background:The problem with Harmony is that next to nothing is known about her background. No-one knows where she came from, who her parents are, or even what she is. It's not a subject often breached upon. All anyone knows is that throughout her short life she has been looking for a kind of companionship that will last an eternity. The source of this search is still unknown though.
There are many theories but the one that is considered the most ridiculous, one that some scoff at for sounding stupid, is the closest one to the truth. The theory is that she is not from earth at all. Instead, she is from a different planet..a different world altogether. That somehow she traveled through space and ended up on earth either by chance or by accident.
There is only one thing everyone who has ever met Harmony knows for certain, as she tells this story to everyone who asks, and that is the story of a man that she met somewhere during her travels; The Musician.

The Musician
"There is a man I met once. A long, long time ago it seems. I met him while I was searching for someone to spend a lonely night with. The silence of the night had become too much for me and I decided that I needed to find some company. The more I wandered the more emptiness and silence I found. That is until I heard a sound in the distance. A soft tune. Simple but beautiful beyond anything I had ever heard before. I followed the sound until I came upon a pavilion with grand white arches holding up a red-stone roof.
There was a man there, tall and thin, dressed so elegantly I thought that he had come from some kind of ball. He stood in front of a cluster of bubbles. Within these bubbles were what looked like stars.
With each wave of his hands the small stars lit up and emitted a soft melody, an orchestra of chimes that filled the air and made me want to dance. I kept to the shadows until I could no more. There came a pause in the man's direction and I took the silence to quietly applaud his performance. He looked at me in an almost scolding manner before he turned his gaze back towards the bubbles. Like he was trying to ignore me so he could get back to his music.
When the melody began again I closed my eyes for just a moment before I opened them to watch him. Each movement was so calculated and careful..I could not help but try to imitate him. At first my movements did nothing or at least I didn't think they were doing anything.
Then suddenly I noticed that he was no longer moving his hands and instead he had turned back to looking at me. The melody had changed yet it was still going. I realized that it was now my movements that were directing the chiming stars. My whole body told me to stop and apologize but when I glanced back towards the man I found that he was smiling at me. Without so much as a word he raised his hands and joined me in the direction, taking turns with me. Neither of us said anything because we didn't need to say anything. The music spoke for us.
We could tell each other our stories through the emotions in the melodies. Never before had I felt so connected to one individual. We spent the whole night creating our own little orchestra, filling the clearing with nothing but music.
As the sun rose something came over me. Something inside me told me that it was time for me to go. Like with the slow dissappearance of the darkness around us I needed to leave as well. When I turned my head to tell the man he already had a known smile on his lips. Again not a word was spoken. He took my hands in his, looked me in the eye, and nodded his head slowly as if to tell me that it was alright for me to leave.
Although it pained me to say goodbye, I knew I was going to see him again. He was going to be my friend for as long as I could remember his tune."
Powers: Personal Gravity Manipulation- Harmony has the ability to manipulate the way gravity affects her body. That is to say that she can be as light as a feather or as heavy as an aircraft carrier if she wants. She can also walk vertically up along a wall or stand on the ceiling upside down using the same kind of manipulation.
Rift Manipulation - This is Harmony's main way of getting from one place to another without being seen. This ability allows her tear a rift in time and space, almost like a small rip in reality into a strange world of darkness that exists in parallel with our dimension. She can travel through this world with ease but only because she has practiced how to. If another were to try to go through one of her portals..they would either become trapped in the darkness or they would be torn to shreds by it.
She can also use these rifts to attack but that is quite rare, as she strays away from fighting altogether when she can.
The Darkness- As of yet, this power still has to reveal itself. It is the true potential Harmony has inside her that makes her such a terrifying individual to fight. However she refuses to allow herself to even try using this ability and therefore has no idea what it can or can't do. She can feel it within her though, slowly scraping at the inside of her soul, trying to get out.
