Tatyana Harrington is 4'8" with brown hair which falls down to just below her shoulders. Her eyes are brown and piercing; her skin is lightly tanned, a remnant from two summers of vacationing in Hawaii. While her ears are pierced--an idea of her mother's that came to fruition when Tatyana was two years old--Philip Harrington will not allow his daughter to wear earrings until she turns sixteen. Tatyana has a small mole near the corner of her left eye, a physical trait that she hates more than anything in the world. She is of a surprisingly sturdy build for someone of her age and gender. When not in uniform, you can usually find her in blue jeans, T-shirts, and Muggle high-top shoes, her hair pulled up in a ponytail. Tatyana's lips are thin, another trait she wishes she didn't have, as it makes her look much older than she actually is. Her muscles are well toned, the result of her being on several Muggle swim teams during the summer.


Tatyana Harrington has something of a chip on her shoulder toward pureblood witches and wizards because of her uncle David and his bigoted manners toward those whose blood status is less than pure.  She is quick to take offense whenever she feels that her own halfblood status is being mocked, and has been known to argue with other people at the least bit of provocation. She holds a strong sense of pride in herself and her family and whatever friends she manages to make, and will defend those close to her without a second thought. Tatyana believes there is no difference between pureblood, halfblood, or Muggleborn, and takes great joy in making snippy remarks to pureblood students to this effect. She holds as much dislike toward purebloods as purebloods hold toward people like herself and frequently lets this be known to others she comes in contact with. Tatyana works very hard to try to regain what she considers lost family honor, something she feels was taken away when her uncle insulted her family.


Philip Harrington and Katherine Stillman met at Hogwarts when he was in sixth year and she was in her fifth year. Philip, a Gryffindor, and Katherine, a Ravenclaw, literally bumped into each other in the Great Hall just before the start-of-term feast as they both made their way to their respective House tables, and for Philip at least, it was love at first sight. However, Katherine thought of him as a reckless jerk, never really changing her mind until he asked her to be his date at a ball that the school was holding, somehow convincing her that he was not the stereotypical Gryffindor that she was used to hearing about.

After graduating from Hogwarts, Philip asked Katherine to marry him, which she agreed to, on one condition: that they agree not to discuss blood purity with any child they might have, seeing as neither one of them thought that one's ancestry had anything to do with how they were as a person. Philip agreed, and when their first and only child, Tatyana, was born, they made sure to teach her that a good character was far more important than a good ancestry.

For the first six years of her life, Tatyana accepted this teaching without question; a happy child, she did whatever she could to please her parents. Things changed when she was seven, however. During a visit to her uncle David's house one summer, Tatyana overheard her father and her uncle engaged in a very loud verbal altercation. David Harrington accused his brother of wasting his pureblood heritage on a "filthy Muggleborn woman" and then having a "disgraceful half-blood daughter". The fight ended only when Philip declared that as far as he was concerned, David was dead to him; unfortunately, he then had to explain to his daughter what blood purity was and why some people looked down on others. From that point on, Tatyana felt an anger toward purebloods growing within her, and she has wanted to take back the family honor that she felt was stolen by her uncle when he made those statements.
