[TW: RAPE, SEXUAL ASSAULT]

Harmony Pearce grew up watching musicals.

It was a loud, noisy and chaotic house. Their mother was constantly singing, constantly dancing, and the sound of tap shoes echoed down the halls in their home in Washington, D.C., and Harmony immediately fell in love with it all. Born as the youngest (or technically, one of the youngest) daughter to Bob Pearce, famed and well-loved politician and Lavender DuPont, golden-voiced songstress, it could have been decreed that one Harmony Pearce was absolutely destined for musical greatness. Of course, she was.

As a child, Harmony was something more of a doll than a daughter, as she and her twin were constantly dressed in matching outfits. Harmony showed an aptitude for music from a young age, both by plunking out off-key notes on the piano and attempting to mimic her mother’s world-famous triple-timestep. Of course, since Lavender’s stage was only on the political circuit, it could be inferred that she lived through Harmony. With four other children to groom into being perfect little politicians, Lavender took a liking to Harmony and wanted to turn her into a musical theatre machine.

It started with the dance classes. Harmony was put into a Tiptoe Tap Troupe as soon as she could walk, and to this very date, tap dancing is one of her many strengths. As soon as she was talking, she was enrolled in a preschool music program that would allow her the opportunity to sing to her heart’s content. Of course, as the daughter of a Southern Belle, Harmony was always dressed to the nines in every single costume that her mother could get her hands on, but without fail, at every school assembly, Harmony had the solo. And of course, at every school assembly, there was her mother sitting in the first row, taking as many pictures as humanly possible.

Needless to say, Harmony grew up with quite the ego.

Most of that came crashing down during the harsh reality of when she was nine years old and her parents divorced. It had quite the profound effect on Harmony, because that was simply not the way that things were supposed to be in the fantasy musical that was her life. The two leads always ended up together, that was simply how it worked. Harmony rapidly then realized that she, in fact, was the lead woman in her own musical, and chalked it all up to angsty backstory. At nine years old, no rendition of “Gimme Gimme” from Thoroughly Modern Millie was sung with such emotional depth.

With the divorce came the move, something that Harmony initially hated but quickly learned how to love. Her mother was determined to make it as a Broadway actress, and Harmony made the trek out there with her to New York City. Two years later, her father became Vice President of the United States, something that Harmony was shoved into the public eye for when the occasion called for it. She had the glorious opportunity to sing the National Anthem at several major sporting events, including one Super Bowl, but the girl was born to perform. Despite missing her father extensively, Harmony spent her time off from musical theatre at Number One, Observatory Circle with her father and other siblings.

New York? New York was tough, especially since her mother was rarely ever home and frankly, Harmony never saw her and relied only on an au pair to take care of her, but all of that loneliness was worth it (if she ever found herself in a genderswapped version of Cinderella, and had to sing “Loneliness of Evening, she was set) because the day came that Lavender DuPont had landed her first role. Things only went on the up and up from there, and when Harmony was ten she was permitted to begin auditioning herself. She began her Broadway career as Amaryllis in The Music Man, and from then on, a spark was ignited in Harmony.

She spent the next few years auditioning for every single part she could get her hands on, namely, Kim MacAfee in Bye Bye Birdie, Baby June in Gypsy, and Red Riding Hood in Into the Woods. Her days were spent at a wealthy, Upper East Side prep school while her nights were lost blissfully onstage. One might have guessed that she didn’t need any formal training, but Harmony wanted to go about things in the proper manner. Despite all of the singing lessons, dance classes, and acting workshops she’d taken, there was no substitute for a well-earned college education. With no surprise to anyone, she was accepted into NYADA and all set to head out towards her first semester.

Of course, being the daughter of a Vice President meant that Harmony, essentially, could get whatever it was on earth that she wanted, not only because of her connections, but her immense talent and ability to swindle and persuade anyone into anything her heart desired. Of course, there were certain rules, regulations and guidelines in place at NYADA, the most infuriating being: a student of NYADA could not audition for productions outside of the school. Harmony was devastated by this, as an actress with four Broadway roles under her belt, she wanted to be able to perform and explore, which prompted her to go right to the chairperson of Musical Theatre at NYADA. He informed her that he’d give her the favor if she could perform one in term for him, which Harmony vehemently opposed and told him so. That doesn’t quite explain how she ended up with a ripped skirt, mascara dripping and a very long walk back to her dorm.

Despite being an actress, Harmony couldn’t lie about this one. There was enough DNA evidence to convict the slimeball, but Harmony didn’t want to ruin her ties at NYADA. The wife of the chairman, who happened to be the Dean of Students, started spreading awful rumors about Harmony, who couldn’t take the abuse at NYADA and decided to go and follow her mother to LA.

Now, Harmony is registered as a freshman at Pacific State, and has long given up her dreams of being a Broadway actress. She doesn’t keep in touch with many from New York City, and is horribly afraid that she’s been blackballed. Instead, she’s trying to land roles in movie musicals before she graduates so that she has enough credit on her resume to be cast in whatever show she wants.

But she’ll do it. After all, she’s Harmony Pearce.

BABY, THERE'S NO OTHER SUPERSTAR

Harmony is most known for her contrasting features. She has dark hair, pale skin, and blue eyes. She further adds to her Snow White persona by wearing red lips constantly. Red, in fact, is her signature color. Harmony is not very tall, but she’s exudes confidence and is a bit of a know-it-all, which gives her a larger-than-life presence in any room. She’s prone to wearing colorful hats and headbands, her style is chic and inspired by pastels and nauticals, and Harmony always looks her very best, even if she’s coming from a three hour dance class.

YOU KNOW THAT I'LL BE YOUR PAPARAZZI

Born to a well to do family in the heart of Atlanta, Georgia, Lavender DuPont was never going to be given the freedom to choose her own path. The DuPont men were all expected to be successful and powerful, while the women were supposed to marry into wealth and know their place in the background. Lavender had big dreams of becoming an actress or a pop star, but her family would’ve never even entertained the idea. Like all DuPont women before her, her suitor was chosen for her, and just happened to be everyone’s favorite politician, Robert “Bob” Pearce. He was a little older than her, but Lavender felt she had no choice but to marry him, move out to his larger than life home in Washington, and then begin to pop out babies just like she was supposed to.
