| — Harper explaining why she made PAMA. |
Harper is a character in Minecraft: Story Mode, appearing in "Access Denied" and "A Journey's End?". She is voiced by Yvette Nicole Brown. She is the creator of PAMA and one of the Old Builders.
Appearance[]
Harper wears a dull yellow jumpsuit outfit with a brown hoodie, black goggles, green eyeshadow, black gloves and black shoes. She also has white hair, black eyes, gray eyebrows, and dark skin. Also revealed by a painting, Harper used to have black hair and black eyebrows around the time she created PAMA.
Personality[]
Harper is portrayed to be an intelligent inventor with a brave and resilient personality. At first, she appears apprehensive and unfriendly. However, as the story progresses, she proves herself to be both loyal and caring towards Jesse's Gang. She is also a great inventor and is responsible for inventing PAMA and the Transmigrational Headset, but appears to suffer from loneliness as a result of her isolation. As a result, she created several robotic greeters named after Crown Mesa's citizens to help her cope with this.
She programmed the robotic greeters so they can tell her to forgive herself, showing that she blames herself for all the trouble PAMA has caused. While apprehensive about befriending others, she is also very loyal to those she does befriend, such as Jesse's gang, to the point in which she is willing to stand up to Hadrian at one point. Harper also has a habit of eavesdropping on other people's conversations.

Trivia[]
- Harper was originally going to have a multi-colored jumpsuit instead of a tan one. In her texture shows a reference with the jumpsuit having an orange side and a purple side with a brown-green hood with black hems. It also shows her wearing blue gloves.
- When Jesse is wearing the Mind-Control Headset, they can see the text "HARPER v 1.0.43.10" on-screen.
- As a member of the Old Builders, she is known to have helped create the Portal Network.
- The painting of her and a young PAMA is a reference to Steve Jobs and his iconic pose with the macintosh. It also shows Harper used to have black hair. This suggests that either Harper created PAMA long before the events of the game, or her hair grew white from stress caused by PAMA's betrayal.
- At the end of Episode 8, Harper said that she would try to help the townspeople of Crown Mesa rebuild, saying that even though that was not her original home, it was the closest thing she had. This suggests that Harper came from another world. Earlier on in the episode, Harper mentions that she was from the Old Builders' World.
- She is the only Old Builder to appear in more than one episode.
