Harmony was an ordinary human girl growing up in rural North Dakota until her family was unable to take care of her due to severe poverty and gave her up for adoption. Starting at age 2, she then grew up in suburban Fargo, living with Caucasian parents. Being Native American brought many challenges for her, including racist remarks from fellow students and threats of violence. She coped with those hurt feelings by surrounding herself with horses and friends she could rely on. It was then that her love for horses manifested and she continued to spend time volunteering for the stables just outside of town. She began to learn about self-sufficiency as a teenager and started to grow her own vegetables and volunteer at a soup kitchen to feed the poor as well. She spent a lot of time outside of home, being as selfless as she possibly could be.

There came a time in her life where she had the option to see her birth parents. She accepted the invitation and went out to see what she had left. But much to her disappointment, things barely changed and she was glad to have been taken away, which didn't sit well with her biological parents. As much as it hurt to see the circumstances she was born into, she decided to also study her culture and discover her heritage as much as she could. But it became a non-issue soon after, and she simply embraced her helpful nature well into her college life, spending countless hours studying and volunteering when she could.

In the summer of 2015, Harmony went on a camping trip with her college friends out in Montana. It went smoothly upon arrival, as the campsite was set up and everything. After an evening of campfire and food, the group settled down for the night, but someone forgot to put the food away in the car. That night, a grizzly bear proceeded to invade the site in search for food. Harmony heard the creature from her tent and attempted to try and scare it away. Little did she forget that the scaring tactics for a black bear didn't apply, so she failed to fend off the bear and was killed. The bear then dragged her off, but only until a black breach swallowed her corpse and made her into something new.
