see that girl up there? thats my baby, harlow. she's your typical small town girl with big city dreams. forn and raised here in arietta, harlow dreams of one day making it big and get out of here. here's the thing. harlows got a great voice. and she knows it; she knows its her only way of getting out of here. she grew up with only her dad. her mom past away when harlow was just a baby. shortly after giving birth, her mom spiraled into a deep depression, turning to drugs as a way to cope. she eventually overdosed, killing herself one afternoon while she was home with a little 6 year old harlow. her father never voiced his opinion, but he blamed harlow even though there was no way it could be her fault. that being said, there was always a bit of tension between the two, harlow having no idea why her father was always so cold to her.

it wasn't until she was 18 years old and asking her father about applying to college. she made the mistake of bringing it up when he was drunk. why should i help you with something when its all your fault the love of my life is gone he spat at her. if it wasn't for you, she would still be here, happy. he went on to tell her how horrible she was and how she was no longer welcome in the home now that she was an adult and her stuff better be gone by the next morning. scared, harlow went up to her room. her dad couldn't possibly be serious, could he? but still, she packed a bag of things just in case. the following morning, just after the sun came up, her father came pounding on her door. i thought i told you to get out last night! why are you still here! not knowing what else to do, harlow jumped out of bed and quickly got dressed. there was no way she was going to risk going through the house; the window was her only option. grabbing her things she opened her window and climbed out. fuck him she thought as she brushed the dirt off her knees and walked away from what had been her home for the past 18 years.

now, harlow is twenty years old and a graduate of cosmetology school, which is a good thing except for the lack of salon jobs. the only job she was able to land was at this small diner that was themed like a 50's diner. and the only reason she got this job was because of her voice; all of the servers are hooked up with microphones and would take turns singing various broadway songs as they worked, some even going as far as serenading the customers. now each day harlow goes into work hoping that someone who has connections will happen to be in there and hear her. the only problem with this whole situation? shes pregnant.

so as of right now, shes open to anything! childhood friend, work friend, school friend, baby daddy. you name it, we'll figure something out with it. so plot my baby up! ♥

britt and harlow
i personally think those two are adorable, so i'm thinking epic best friends! i definitely think they would have a lot in common. harlow's whole, getting out of arietta and becoming famous thing sounds a lot like britt's former dream, so i can see them maybe having grown up together and kind of having that dream together? so when they were younger they would always dream about how famous they were going to be and what they'd do and how they'd still be the best of friends... you know, cute things like that! and i'm thinking that maybe harlow's one of those few friends that britt managed to keep and that they're still really close, as they've always maybe been there for each other when things were bad and so they can tell each other anything. and anytime something happens with kade britt can go to her to complain and rant and whatnot, and britt's always there when she needs to get something out. so, yeah. add/change/delete.
