PHYSIQUE
Height: 162cm | 5’ 2” Weight: 139 lbs | 63 kg Hair: Black Eyes: Overall: Harpa is a young male with a lean but fairly muscular figure and is of short stature and pale complexion. He has straight-edged black hair of varying lengths, the longest reaching down to his shoulders and the shortest stopping at his cheekbones, which he wears down with two shorter strands hanging between his eyes. Due to his snake genes, Harpa’s mouth is formed in the way of a snake, but this is shown through the skin surrounding his mouth and cheeks looking like it was forcefully cut from each corner to his ears. As to not scare the people he comes across, Harpa keeps his lower face hidden under the bandages. Another trait being is his eyes, almond-shaped tilted upwards on the far sides and unique as he possesses heterochromia. Harpa's right eye is yellow and his left eye is turquoise, he is partially blind and barely able to see out of his right eye, another subject of his snake genes as snakes have poor vision and are only able to see two primary colours and have better vision in low lighting areas and places with little UV. He wears a navy blue uniform, along with a black and white pinstriped haori, the hem and cuffs of which are striped lengthways rather than vertically, which covers his hands. Harpa also wears bandages in place of the leg-wraps around his calves giving the resemblance of kyahan, and white with blue-strapped zōri on his feet. He is also always seen with his white snake, Bái, wrapped around his shoulders. Harpa also is seen carrying a white eye mask that has two eyes detailed onto it, black sclera with white slit pupils, again mimicking a reptilian creature, specifically his snake-like friends, and is never seen without his snakes, though people tend to think that they are some kind of illusion, or just a trick of the eye at times, especially the large snake that is usually seen with him. Extra: As a demi-human, Harpa has some snake features: - Forked Tongue and Slit Mouth.
- Poor Vision - Partially blind, and Dichromatic.
- Sensitive Hearing (frequencies around 200 – 300 Hz)
PERSONA
Though being brought up by snakes, and tending to give the cold shoulder to people, Harpa does not mean to do this on purpose. This is just how he grew up, away from people and when he did interact with people he would be poked at and bullied for how he spoke, acted and reacted to the things around him. Over the years, Harpa slowly gained a somewhat ‘telepathic’ link with the two snakes that he grew up with, Bái and Jiādé. Harpa treasures his snakes and becomes overly protective of them, and also cannot function at times if he is away from his snakes as they are his ‘Home’ and his ‘Safespace’ if he is not within his safespace, he starts to panic and gets very anxious.
When it comes to fighting, Harpa tends to try not to get into disputes, but due to his way of talking, he sometimes sounds quite harsh and cruel, and although that maybe because of his cold tendencies from being picked on a lot, and the walls he has thrown up to keep himself and his family safe, it tends to also get him into trouble and fights a lot.
Due to his anxiety and his Agoraphobia, he tends to seem very clumsy and a little bit of an aloof person, but that is not the case, Harpa is actually a very kind and sweet guy who just really wants to make friends and see people happy, but maybe sometimes he will do things that are just not something to do at that specific moment, which leads to bad things, or ends up causing accidents to himself mostly than the people around him which just makes him a hassle to deal with.
INTERESTS
- His Snakes :Bái and Jiādé are Harpa’s best friends. He grew up with the two snakes and sees them as his family. Harpa gets extremely territorial with his snakes and if he sees people poking at them, when they roam whilst he is doing something or preparing for their afternoon naps, he will attack on instinct.
- Afternoon Naps : Naps. Harpa loves to nap, especially during the afternoon and mornings. He is more of an evening and night person, but if he is tired he will sleep no matter the time of day. Harpa especially loves to take naps curled up against Yoru and with Bai around his neck, as it makes him feel safe and secure, as well as keeping his anxiety at bay of wondering where his snakes are.
- Being Woken Up : When napping, Harpa hates being woken up, since he finds it very difficult sometimes to actually sleep in general, so if he is woken up you can guarantee that this man will give you the silent treatment for the rest of the day and will make it hard for you to get anything from him. He will be bitter for the rest of the day, and very grouchy until he can get more sleep.
- Seeing Bái and Jiādé Hurt : Due to his snakes being the place he calls his true home and safe space, Harpa dislikes seeing them hurt or poked at, and will become very protective and territorial around them, even going as far as using his fight or flight instinct to protect or escape with the two snakes.
- Being Praised :When he has done something good and helpful, Harpa gets very happy although shy and slightly embarrassed, it makes him want to do more. If he gets praised, he tends to be more attentive and helpful towards the actions he has done. The only times he has ever been praised is by his snakes when he was little, and successfully hunted with them, before sitting down and enjoying a nice family meal together. If he can create more moments like that time, then it is all the motivation he needs to get up and do what he needs to do.
- Seeing People Happy : Though being part snake, and sometimes cold-blooded, Harpa does sometimes get motivated to do more when he sees people happy, though it doesn't happen as much compared to his other motivation, he does feel a boost of energy when this happens.
- Agoraphobia : An extreme or irrational fear of entering open or crowded places, of leaving one's own home, or of being in places from which escape is difficult. The severity of agoraphobia can vary significantly between individuals. Someone with severe agoraphobia may be unable to leave the house, whereas someone who has mild agoraphobia may be able to travel short distances without problems. The symptoms of agoraphobia can be broadly classified into 3 types: physical, cognitive and behavioural.
○ Ways to notice when symptoms of Harpa’s Agoraphobia is acting up is when he;
- Feeling sick, dizzy and having trouble breathing and swallowing.
- Trembling and blushing in front of people as well as stuttering over words.
- Avoids situations that could lead to panic attacks, such as crowded places, public transport and queues.
- Being housebound – not being able to leave the place he is staying in for long periods of time. This also links in with avoiding being far away from where he calls home.
- Needing to be with someone he trusts when going anywhere because he feels he wouldn't be unable to function or survive without the help of others (e.g Bái and Jiādé) and would lose control.
Being Alone : Since he has been with his snakes for as long as he can remember, Harpa is afraid of being alone, so when his snakes disappear without him knowing or he gets lost he becomes extremely anxious and self conscious of everything around him.
