Suffering from leukemia since she was three years old, Harmony has had a difficult and pain filled life. Though she was born to a wonderfully loving couple with a nice home in a beautiful neighborhood, she rarely got to spend time outside of the cold, uncaring walls of the hospital. Originally believed to not make it to see age ten, she not only survived, but shortly after went into remission. For the next four years she'd have some semblance of a normal life. She went to school, had friends, could go outside, and even play sports.

However, all of this crashed around her when the cancer returned, almost killing her within six months. Her bout against this onslaught lasted years, with periods of time where she seemed to be getting better only to get worse. Despite the hardships, Harmony still did her best to learn, being schooled online and by tutors and her parents in the hospital. She took up various hobbies that she could do on her own, mostly puzzles and singing. Many told her that she had a gift for the latter, and when she would feel up to the task, she would go to the children's ward and sing for them.

Against all odds, she once against beat the disease that tried to eat away at not only her body, but her spirit. Less than two years have passed since she went into another remission, and so far all of her tests have been hopeful.

Now twenty-two, Harmony has had little experience in the world, and barely any formal education. No longer wanting to burden her parents with the massive bills accrued by her illness, she attempted in vain to find work. She had almost given up hope when a stranger approached her and gave her a business card for some company called the Orpheus Group. Having nothing to lose, she contacted the number on the card.
