.:Birthplace:. Camelot .:Family:. Father: Michael Bennett(Deceased) Mother: Olivia Bennett Half Brother: Tor Bennett .:Occupation:. Baker/Cook .:Current Location of Residence:. Village in Camelot .:History:.
Harriet was born to Michael a village shepherd and Olivia a portuguese woman, who fled her family whilst pregnant. Shortly afterwards marries Michael and raises Tor as their son, unaware of his real parentage. Harriet is born a couple years after. For the most part they always had a steady enough income. Lived out on a decent size land handed down through the family generation after generation. They grew crops and had sheep of a generous size. Being a shepherd would take both her father and brother most of the days. Though when able Harriet would lend a helping hand here and there. They had a couple of other animals. Some chickens and some cows. Though sheep was where the money came from. Most of Harriet's time was with her mother's lessons of varies things. One of the main lesson or which Harriet favoured was cooking. Baking. Anything that pretty much involved being covered in flour in the end. The advance of being on a farm was also they grew their own vegetables and fruit. Baked their own bread. So the money was best left to keep everything running steady as it were. They were a rather friendly and well received in the local village. Where Harriet would find spending time in the village and was well familiar with the locals, she still remained her quiet distance. Even on occasion would help out at the local bakers in between filling in her diary about numerous things. About how the day went or how it should have went. A little day dreaming, but for the most part Harriet was humble within this life. It was steady paced and quiet enough. Although being a farm it could change daily.
On one of the trips her father and brother made guiding sheep to sell to a neighbouring village, an attack had come which led to her father being killed. Whilst her brother helped defend even taking a few blows to the men as he had always dreamed of being a knight, though he was unmatched and unable to stop it. The family was shocked by the tragic death. Tor felt some guilt as he couldn't stop it. Harriet was very close still feels rather sad over it. The family as a whole was always close. This was a stake to the heart of it. How were they to deal with this all? As their father was the stable for the family. It soon fell much to Tor as he stumbled into the role and continuing shepherding. It slowly began to get tougher after a few months. Her mother after the death seemed fine, or least acted as such. She began to fall ill and depressed, before coming very ill. Tor was left try to keep the farm going, even selling a bit of land to help stable everything. Harriet was left to take care of her mother, in between she would work at the local bakery to help with the coin. Even going to the main City on off days for extra coin. Finding herself going there more often as she found there was better coin and profit there. Soon finding a small job in the city at bakers. It was a decent travel, though for now it needed to be done. Finding not a quite deal for anything else other than work, helping her mother and sleep. With her brother insisting they had made a decent enough that Harriet to move to the city to make it easier, but she is reluctant doesn't wish to leave her family to save a couple of hours. As her brother insists she could still come home, just more comfortable. So for now she is still deciding. As is doesn't seem her mother is getting any better. Trying to think what's best for Harriet herself is hard when all she can think is what's best for others.
