biography

Asher Reagan Harrington was born on November 9th, to New York business mogul Calvert Harrington and an alluring woman who called herself Aurora. She was born as the second child and only daughter just five minutes after her twin brother Arsen. Expecting two strong baby boys, Calvert proceeded with his choice and named the baby girl Asher. For the first few months of their life, the new family of four lived in one of New York's most coveted real estate spaces, on the corner of 81st street and fifth avenue.

However, one late spring afternoon, as the city was engulfed in rain, Aurora disappeared into the street, never to be heard from or seen again and Calvert Harrington was left with two newborn children and nothing but the memory of the love of his life. Growing up, Asher saw her father emerge himself in work and she would often reach out to him when he came home at night to try to spend more time with him. The man would lock himself in his office and Asher would stay outside, often bringing him food or leaving small notes and sliding them under the door.

At age thirteen, Asher learned the truth about her mother's identity and who she really was. After sneaking out of the house with her brother, the twins found themselves wondering across Central Park in the wee hours of the night to try and sneak into the Loeb Boathouse. Shortly after walking past the Bethesda Fountain, the twins were attacked by a monster and saved by a homeless man that had been a constant presence in the background of their life as children. The homeless man turned out to be their satyr.

While Arsen was more intrigued with the idea of being a demigod and going to Camp Half-Blood, Asher remained stoic and unimpressed. While she thrived in her surroundings, it never quite felt like home and Asher's only reason to stay was to become a master of Umbrakinesis, an ability she had learned about during the first few months of camp. Therefore it became a mutual decision that the twins would spend their summers at camp and spend the rest of their time home with their father.

At school, Asher distinguished herself for being a brilliant and determined student with a knack for numbers and analyzing financial outcomes. At age fourteen, she had made a profit off her first investment and managed to double her earnings a few months after. However, tragedy struck the household and it was Asher who found her father's body laying next to his desk in his office. At age sixteen, she was heir to the Harrington fortune, making her the richest teenager in New York City along with her brother.

While Arsen embarked in partying and drugs, Asher graduated from the Dalton School early and with honors, proceeding to attend Yale University on early admission to study Finance. Though left in the care of their aunt Annelise Harrington, Asher focused all of her time and energy in school and her father's company, working alongside the board of directors to bring the company out of the public relations disaster that had been her father's death.

Personality

Asher comes off as very extroverted and outspoken. She's bold, often choosing to say whatever is on her mind without caring about the consequences of her words. This comes from knowing her position in life has guaranteed her a safety net to navigate the world as she pleases. She enjoys being around people and making friends. Her natural charm and charisma has helped her develop her social network and a strong group of friends. However, she can also be very introverted, often opting out of social events to seek out her own company. 

Asher is not one to share her emotions and her feelings and like her brother, grew up learning how to conceal those attributes that might make her come off as weak. She can be rather cold in her demeanor and thrives from numbness. She saw her father's feelings and emotions towards her mother be the ultimate cause of his demise and therefore does not want to end up like him. 

She is very analytical and likes to explore the situation to understand what would better benefit her. She has an extensive vocabulary and her intelligence shows in her demeanor and the way she holds herself. She has a fierce dedication to learning and reading and her ambition is turned towards leading her father's business and build her own empire. She has an innate ability to get what she wants and glide through life without a care in the world. She is organized, meticulous and can achieve anything she sets her mind to, often without regard for how she gets there.
