	**Wanting to proudly show off his doll-making talents he had learned from his grandfather, a young Harper proudly brought his then-best friend to see the not-at-all-alarming collection of dolls he had made just for such an occasion, all made in the likeness of his soon-to-be ex-best friend and the rest of their social circle. His friend reacted poorly, and Harper quickly became known as the "Weird Doll Kid." What followed was a parade of angry parents banging on the door and demanding that the dolls resembling their children be disposed of and an abrupt end to Harper's hopes of a regular social life. While by now most everybody involved has forgotten the incident, every day Ragamuffin both fears being recognized as the Weird Doll Kid and, in particular, dreads the reappearance of his ex-best friend into his life: a red-haired, blue-eyed elf.		**Wanting to proudly show off his doll-making talents he had learned from his grandfather, a young Harper proudly brought his then-best friend to see the not-at-all-alarming collection of dolls he had made just for such an occasion, all made in the likeness of his soon-to-be ex-best friend and the rest of their social circle.

	==Background==		==Background==
			Harper Murasaki-Byrne never knew his parents. And Murasaki-ojii was never much keen on telling him. Truth be told, he was never entirely certain that the human was ''actually'' his grandfather, but having a parental figure at all was not something he took for granted enough to ever question. There was certainly no question that Murasaki-ojii did his best to shelter the kid from the worst realities of being SINless, including securing his first fake SIN and keeping him from getting into ''too'' much trouble. He taught the young elf much of what he knows, including the steady hands necessary to both construct the clockwork sold at Murasaki-ojii's shop and to create ''ningyō.'' Unfortunately, an incident in his youth resulted in Harper retreating from the world, shutting himself in his grandfather's workshop to pursue and perfect his hobbies.

			When the isolated Harper Awakened and started producing dolls that moved on their own, Murasaki-ojii did his best to steer him right, taking Harper to a local dojo—the boy bounced off the practical aspects of martial arts, but found himself fascinated by the philosophy—and teaching him what he knew of Shinto as Harper naturally poured his newfound talents into enhancing those that he already had, producing dolls of such quality that the ''shikigami'' he brought forth began to take on their forms.

			Years passed, and the comfortable rhythm of Harper's life was disrupted with Murasaki-ojii's passing. Faced with the reality that his own name—Mortimer officially, no relation to the fashion line—didn't carry the weight of his grandfather's, Harper knew that he had to do something to keep the lights on in the ''Ticking Tiger.'' With his talent for magic, running the shadows started to look like a (relatively) appealing and (distressingly) feasible option, and so with the last of the money his grandfather left him, Harper shored up a few of the skills he knew he was lacking and set out.
