PERSONALITY SUMMARY:
Definitely the more pleasant Earle to be around, Henry is the life of the party. Harry is a jovial person to be around, always smiling and being merry in his life. His outgoing personality leaves people wanting more. Often described as the party boy of the Earle family, Harry actually has layers that he doesn't allow others to see. Harry is very needy of other people's attention. He craves to be noticed by his father and older brothers as an equal. Harry doesn't know how to gain this respect or any knowledge of the family business, making him very naïve. Whenever he fails, Harry can't help beating himself up for his failures. His curious nature gets him into the most trouble. Harry often gets himself into trouble since he doesn't know when to stop digging, often earning a lecture from his father.

THE PAST: Being the youngest Earle boy, Henry felt he wasn't worth much in his father's eyes. James was the first born and heir to the business. Leon was the spare in case anything happened to James. Henry felt like he was random. His mother kept him away from the business, much to his annoyance, so having a place within the business was never given to him. Still a child, Henry wonders when he'll be considered on the same level as his brothers.
Growing up, Henry knew there was something off about him. The way his brothers would talk about and eye girls who walked by never seemed to have any affect on him. Being a natural charmer, Harry never lacked a pretty girl on his arm. He never felt anything towards them like other boys should feel. His first kiss with his middle school 'girlfriend' was more of a chore than something to enjoy. Henry just figured he was odd especially when the male form was more pleasing to his eyes. When he turned fourteen, he began to take an interest in rugby. He found the sport appealing to not only himself, but his father as well. Harry was trained by an upperclassman. The classmate took an interest in Harry, beyond just sports. A brief but inappropriate affair went on, ending when Harry's coach left for college. The whole event only solidified what Henry already knew. He did appreciate women, but sexually, men were superior. The realization only hurt Harry more than anything.
As time went on, Henry grew a reputation in town. He was the boy with amazing mixology skills, boyish charm, and party thrower extraordinaire. Everyone wanted to be friends with Henry. However, notoriety has its downfalls. A curious boy still, Henry would put his nose where it didn't belong. His father would lecture and yell whenever he had to save Henry or he would come home with a new injury. Wanting to be away from home, Henry spent many nights at his friend, and secret boyfriend, Jeremy's house. The two acknowledged their attraction, but kept it secret in fear of rejection from their families and the public. Jeremy was Henry's first love. They hid their relationship by dating other females. Henry and the police chief's daughter was an unlikely but valuable relationship. The girl was happy someone was interested in her since her father tended to keep boys away. Hiding their relationship further, the two enrolled in college together, as roommates. Henry was happiest when Jeremy was by his side.
The war was the worst years of Henry's life. The letters passed between Henry and Jeremy were heartbreaking for him. Henry wanted to try to enlist, but his mother wouldn't let him enlist under a false identity. After the war ended, Jeremy was declared missing in action. His body was never found and no record of him was found anywhere. He was another soldier lost. Henry was devastated. He couldn't properly mourn his boyfriend's death since their relationship being a secret. Tortured by his loss, Henry moved back into his parent's house, not wanting to live in a room that Jeremy and him had shared.
After a year of college, Henry's father suggested he study law. Henry did enjoy learning the law, but it wasn't the way he wanted to get involved. The Distillery was what he wanted to control. Alcohol was his passion, but mother didn't want him involved. However, Henry promised himself he would prove himself to his father soon!
POSSIBLE PLOT POINTS: Trying to prove himself to his father and brothers, dealing with his same-sex attraction, gaining control of the liquor part of the business, possible rejection from his family, more...
Insecurity is the side effect of loving too much, but receiving so little in return.
