Her father was not present at the birth as he was on duty as a police officer in the area, and was currently dealing with a drug bust whilst his wife gave birth; his name was Kevin Michael Whitfield, and his wife Taylor Harmony Whitfield. Her father did arrive at the hospital a couple of hours after the birth of Harmony and was a very proud father. The first couple of years of Harmony’s life was pretty subtle, except for her mother who got promoted and opened her own business, she was a dance teacher and by the age of four Harmony was already learning Ballet and Tap with the tuition from her mother. At six years old Harmony competed in her first Ballet competition and actually came second out of a class of eight, her mother and father were very proud of her though Harmony was actually kind of annoyed that she hadn’t won, which obviously shows where she got her aggressive and competitive side. At the age of eight she won her first Ballet class, after a lot of tries and fails she finally won her first medal and trophy, something that she still had in her procession to this day, and is very proud of her achievement. After this she began to learn a few other types of dancing, from salsa to a little bit of hip hop. She enjoyed all types of dancing and loved to annoy her mother by trying to merge all different types of dancing in the lessons. At school she was a pretty average kid, she didn’t really get up too much, she was not the popular kid in the class, but she still had a good group of friends to hang around with, most of them who she had met in her dancing classes, but she was mainly closest to her cousin, who she loved to take under her wing and show him things, teach him. By ten, she was competing a lot with her mother showing her the way into the dancing world, both of them wanting the most of this, but her father was not too keen that the young Miss. Whitfield wanted to spend the rest of her life dancing, instead of getting what he called ‘sensible’ job, though Harmony just looked at her mother and saw how successful she was, and this was not even with a great dancing career behind her. At twelve years old, Harmony was sitting at her cousin’s house, playing with her in the living room before her aunty came in with tears in her eyes and told her that something had happened to her parents, she had been staying at her cousin’s for the weekend because it was her parent’s anniversary but on their way home back to Chicago, they were involved in a car accident, which drove them into a ditch and killed them both instantly, Harmony was only told by her aunty later that day after she had calmed herself down, Harmony didn’t really know how to feel about the situation, she didn’t really understand what was going on till a couple of days later, after still living with her cousin, she realised that her parents were not coming home and that she was in fact alone. For a couple of months she stayed with her aunty and uncle, before she was taken into a foster home as they were unable to afford another child in the house. Harmony changed a lot in that year, she went from the ambitious young woman who wanted to dance her way into the limelight to just wanting to be left alone, she lived in the foster home for a year, in this time she started hanging out with a gang, she was involved with people dealing drugs and by the age of fourteen she lost her virginity to the gang leader simply because he asked her too, and it was the only way she was going to feel like she fitted in, she then dated him for a couple of months after that. Then she found a family, which was lucky but it meant she had to move to their ranch in Virginia. Mr and Mrs Jackson were very lovely people, and older couple, the husband was sixty one and the wife was fifty four. Harmony was just about to turn fifteen when she got there, they lived on a ranch and the wife worked with horses, the husband was an accountant. Paula Jackson insisted that if Harmony wanted to live under this roof she had to pull her weight, meaning chores which included feeding and grooming some of the horses for her, it calmed Harmony to be around them, they didn’t judge her and they listened whenever she needed someone to talk too, the kids at the new school talked about her, the ex gang member who lost her parents, she didn’t fit in, she just attended and then went dancing afterwards, she didn’t need anyone, or at least that was what she told herself. She got a lot of male attention after she beat up a girl at school for calling her names and talking behind her back, the guys wanted to be in her pants, she was cocky and courageous, willing to speak her mind no matter what happened to her, she didn’t give a shit, one male named Jarrett really took a shine to her, he was a basketball player, senior and tried pretty much anything to speak to her. Harmony, who had just turned seventeen and a junior in the school, avoided him as much as she could, before giving in and letting him take her out on a date. He was nice, he was just a typical jock and obviously considering a lot of the girls in her school didn’t agree with sex before marriage and here Harmony was, who just lost it to some guy because he asked her, well boys thought she was always going to be that easy, she wasn’t, at all and Jarrett found that out, but still her learnt her personality and genuinely liked her, so they did date until he graduated and then agreed to go their own separate ways. At nineteen, Harmony had been working so hard in her dancing and working on her dancing degree in college that she found herself employed part time for a small dance company, but they wanted her to move to Los Angeles, so she did and when she was not in college she was working for them, she graduated early, and at twenty one moved to a different dance company, still in Los Angeles and worked there for a long time. She was known to most of her friends by ‘Forty’ the dancer who would do anything to get to the top of her game, she didn’t like to lose. She had kept this hard ass kind of life since she was twelve and her parents passed away, sometimes she makes herself believe that she doesn’t need anyone else, she speaks to her foster parents a lot, they are probably the only people that she truly trusts in the world right now.
