Harper McIntyre

Harper McIntyre is a recurring character in the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth seasons. She is portrayed by Chelsey Reist and debuts in I Am Become Death.

Harper is one of the Delinquents sent to Earth to see if it could support human life. Harper was one of the twenty Gunners in The Camp. She was among the delinquents taken by Mount Weather. Harper had her bone marrow harvested and was saved along with Monty when Jasper and Dante intervened on Dr. Tsing's project. She and Monty have been in a relationship since season three.

Early Life
Sometime while living on The Ark, Harper was arrested. Because she was under 18, she could not be executed and was sent to prison/lockup instead. She was sent down with the rest of the Delinquents to Earth to see if it was survivable for humans again.

Around before or after Harper got arrested, her father possibly died from hereditary illness. Which mentioned later in A Lie Guarded.

Throughout the Series
In I Am Become Death, Harper asks Jasper to tell the story again about how he killed two Grounders at the bridge. She later comes to get Jasper for his shift on watch duty and asks him if she can come to his tent later but he turns her down telling Monty that she is "low hanging fruit". Later, as they prepare for the imminent Grounder attack, Jasper tells her to not worry because he has her back. When Jasper and Monty return to The Camp after blowing up the bridge, Harper lets everyone know they made it back.
