Harper Aries

she's not hiding drugs or anything, she just doesn't want you in her fucking room, okay?
✦

" Harper's always had the reputation as the "problem child" of the Ballantine family; addicted to the magical drug Ambrosia and volatile even when sober, Harper has been stealing from the family's stores to finance her addiction. So when she comes back to find a stranger in her room, sniffing around, well, she doesn't react well. Doesn't matter if you're one of Rory's strays or a fucking cop - she wants you out. "
