HISTORY
Harry lived a simple life with a simple family, and as such, has always entertained simple goals; namely, to serve as a knight, preferably a dashing one, rescuing damsels and defending the commonfolk and performing any and all number of virtuous deeds. He practiced these endeavors as often as he could, rescuing his (multitude of) younger sisters from their assailants (spiders, mostly), proudly standing guard over his mother on market days (wielding a very fearsome stick), and idolizing his father (a potter, but a very chivalrous potter, everyone agreed.)

His parents, somewhat bemused, yet yearning to be supportive of their first child and only son, encouraged his aspirations (and taught him how to bake in the bargain, just in case.) However, to everyone's surprise (except Harry's himself, who had, of course, known it, just known it) he was taken on as a Squire to House Vernhail in his eleventh year, bright-eyed and eager and full of high hopes.

While he never excelled, persay, he did well enough to get by, and his enthusiasm alone made him a formidable force among the squires; he was always first to volunteer himself for any task, and regardless of the beatings he took and the lessons he learned, he always managed to end every day with a smile. What he lacked in skill he made up for in attitude, and as time progressed the former improved -- albeit slowly -- and the latter never wavered for a moment.

It was no surprise to anyone, then, which was perhaps a surprise in itself, when Harry was knighted near the start of his fourteenth year, determined as ever, reveling in the admiring attentions of his sisters, his mother's beaming embraces and his father's nods of approval. And while he'll never be the best of Vernhail's knights, or even one of the best, he may just be the most fervent -- and when it comes to honor, loyalty, and upholding vows, Harry just might surpass his peers every time.

Unfortunately for him, it was perhaps this undefeatable optimism that prompted his superiors to place him in the company bound for instruction by Sir Jarvis, a man whose skills as a knight were well renowned -- and whose attitude toward new recruits was widely feared. As for what he thinks, when asked for comment, Harry is known to simply smile, shrug, and talk about flowers. Aren't flowers pretty? Sibyll likes to wear flowers in her hair, you know. (She's a little crazy.)

PERSONALITY
Harry is, quite simply, a ball of concentrated, undefeatable optimism. He tries to see the best in everything, and where he can't see the good, he determines that he will, of course, fix the bad, thus making it good. He's very brilliant, as you can see, and by very brilliant I actually mean somewhat simple, and by somewhat simple I actually mean very simple. He's eager and confident (even when he really shouldn't be), and there is some question as to whether or not he realizes what is even actually good for him, not that he cares either way.

He's completely devoted to his family, tremendously overprotective of his mother and sisters, and fully believes that his father is the reincarnation of an ancient hero... who also just happens to be really, really good at ... making pots. And bowls. And -- yes.

APPEARANCE
Harry is ... plain. Very plain. Brown hair, brown eyes, a fair complexion and somewhat scrawny -- particularly for a knight -- he'll never win any awards for appearance, but, not surprisingly, he doesn't seem to mind. He wears large glasses that tend to get in the way during training (though, again not surprisingly, he performs far worse without them,) and stands at 5'6" and growing (slowly.)
