Harry was the eldest of three children born to Helena and Cyrus Robertson. He had two younger sisters, Lily Robertson and Jessica Robertson. Growing up, Harry pretty much had a perfect childhood. They didn't have everything, but they were loved and didn't go without the things they needed. Given that there was a six year age gap between Harry and Lily, Harry was very close to his parents, particularly his mom. He likes to think that he was a good brother to his sister. He may have broken a boy's nose for not leaving Lily alone.
Everything was going swimmingly for a while, and then Jessica got sick. Really sick. It started with her being feverish and tired and quickly went downhill from there. One night, Jessica had a seizure. With no history of epilepsy in the family, Helena and Cyrus rushed Jessica into hospital. Harry looked after Lily at home, waiting for a call that Jessica was alright. There was no call. Instead Cyrus came home the next day and told Lily and Harry that Jessica had to stay in hospital a little while longer. Harry knew something was up when his dad took him aside. Jessica had been diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and it had progressed rapidly.
On a visit to the hospital, Harry could feel his heart break as he lay next to Jessica. She had always been small in his eyes, she was his baby sister after all, but she had never looked this fragile, or scared. He knew there and then that whatever happened, he wanted to be a doctor. He wanted to be able to help other families in the same predicament and help the people who were sick. It was shortly before Christmas when they were told that the treatment Jessica was receiving was no longer effective. With both Cyrus and Helena already working as many hours as they could to pay for Jessica's treatment, and Harry doing odd jobs around the neighbourhood, the family were left with few options. They made the decision as a family to take Jessica home and have a huge family Christmas. Harry keeps a picture of himself, Lily, and Jessica in a frame on his shelves. Sadly, Jessica passed away shortly after the new year.
Watching his parents grieve for his sister was one of the hardest things Harry had to watch. At least with Jessica, the illness had been relatively short and she was at peace now. For his parents, the grief would always be raw. Rather than burdening them further with his own grief, Harry directed his anger into his schoolwork. He knew that science and math were going to be the most important if he wanted to be pursue medicine. Even now, five years down the line, Harry hasn't fully come to terms with losing Jessica, mostly because he doesn't want people to worry about him. He's never really spoken to anyone about it. Instead, he keeps himself busy through work so he has something else to focus on.

Personality:
Harry is definitely the kind of guy to let his heart rule his head. Despite his major in pre-medicine, he is an emotionally driven man rather than a logical one. That doesn't mean that his decisions are without reason. Even his decision to become a doctor was an emotionally driven one. He is deeply rooted in family values and is very protective of the people he cares about. It takes a lot for Harry to open up to somebody, mostly from some misplaced sense of protecting them. He's secretive by nature and tends to keep his cards close to his chest, both professionally and personally. If he does open up to people, he tends to hold them closer than others. It takes a special person to earn his friendship and loyalty. It's how he's always been. He is deeply empathetic towards other people, but he just doesn't trust them all that easily.
He is something of a romantic. He likes to woo his partner first, taking them to dinner, or on a romantic picnic, or walks along the beach, that sort of thing. He's kind of old-fashioned when it comes to romance. Harry uses romance to hide his own insecurity in himself and in relationships. His comfort zone is quite small. If he's not working on something, he's not comfortable, whether it's college work, volunteering, or organising events within the fraternity or with their Theta sisters. Making the effort with someone he likes gives him something to focus on other than himself. Harry definitely isn't one for introspection. If someone tries to force him to open up, he retreats quickly and can become moody and withdrawn from them. He knows it's not healthy, but he can't quite bring himself to really talk about Jessica. He'll tell people what happened if they ask, but they get the bare bones of the story without him having to go into the trauma of what actually happened.

Thoughts on Greek Life: Joining Kappa started as a pragmatic choice. He knew that if he wanted to be a doctor, he was going to need good recommendations to get into medical school. He'd heard through the grapevine that Sigma was the party house, so he steered clear of them. He considered Beta, but they had a stick up their collective ass, so he joined Kappa, which turned out to be one of the best decisions he had ever made. He has people he actually likes and somewhat trusts around him. And there is much less toxicity around.
Plans for after college: Harry is gonna bust his ass through medical school and become a doctor. Maybe save the world one day, he hasn't decided on that yet. For now, he's quite happy being a doctor.
Build: 5'11 147lbs. He has a athletic build which he has begun to hone in the gym.
Hair Colour: Sandy brown
Eye Colour: Green
Distinguishing Marks: Scar on the shell of his left ear. Has a scar on his hip from having his appendix removed.
Style: Harry lacks the ability to dress himself. Without guidance, he ends up looking like a background character from Cowboy Bepop, either that or a rejected Doctor Who. He is the kid that turns up to lectures in his pyjamas. If he looks anywhere near decent, he's had help.
