Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Harmony appeared in the unaired pilot as a member of Cordelia Chase's clique, the "Cordettes. The non-broadcast Pilot episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer was produced by 20th Century Fox in 1996 to pitch a series to networks Cordelia Chase (born January 1981, in Sunnydale, California, A clique ( IPA:/'klɪk/ in America /'kliːk/ elsewhere is an exclusive group of people who share interests views purposes patterns of behavior or ethnicity "[1] She subsequently appears in the second episode of Season One, "The Harvest," and makes minor appearances throughout the first three seasons, and then a slightly larger role in another two. When Cordelia begins dating Xander Harris, Harmony shuns her from their clique and usurps her position as leader of the group. Alexander LaVelle "Xander" Harris (born 1981 in Sunnydale, California) is a Fictional character in the cult Television series After Cordelia and Xander's breakup, Harmony cruelly tricks Cordelia into thinking that she has been re-admitted into the clique, only to humiliate and reject her. After a vengeance demon grants Cordelia's wish that Buffy had never arrived in Sunnydale in the episode "The Wish," Harmony appears in the alternate, hellish reality as a more subdued version of herself, again a follower of Cordelia's "Cordettes. Vengeance Demons are a group of beings that appear in the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Buffy Summers is a fictional character from Joss Whedon 's Buffy the Vampire Slayer franchise Sunnydale California, is the fictional setting for the US television drama Buffy the Vampire Slayer. "[2]

In the final showdown with Mayor Wilkins during his Ascension in the episode "Graduation Day," Harmony is killed/sired by a vampire. For the Australian television/entertainment personality see Richard Wilkins (TV presenter. " Graduation Day Part Two " is the 22nd episode of season 3 of the television show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. In the fictional world of the Television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, a vampire is a species of demon She reappears in the episode "The Harsh Light of Day" as a vampire, having retained her characteristic pettiness, susceptibility to stronger-willed people, and an affection for unicorn figurines (which, in Angel's fifth season, is undiminished). A unicorn (from Latin unus 'one' and cornu 'horn' is a Mythological creature. Angel is an American Television series, a Spin-off of the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Harmony begins a sexual relationship with Spike, her "blondie bear. Spike (aka William "the Bloody") played by James Marsters, is a Fictional character " Neither Spike nor Harmony are satisfied with their relationship; Spike is frustrated by Harmony's ignorance and clinginess while she is exasperated with his endless broken promises and repeated attempts to kill Buffy. They separate, although she agrees to rekindle their relationship after Spike escapes from the Initiative. Harmony quickly regrets this decision after recognizing Spike's renewed campaign against the Slayer, and even chases him out of her lair with a stake when he desperately seeks her help in the episode "Pangs. A Slayer, in the fictional Buffyverse established by Buffy and Angel, is a young Female bestowed with " Pangs " is the eighth episode of season 4 of the television show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. "[3]

Spike's ambition to kill the Slayer apparently rubs off. After separating from Spike, Harmony wants to be an independent, strong vampire who can get by on her own; accordingly, in the episode "Real Me," she gathers her own gang and makes her own attempt to kill Buffy, which ends in disaster. Her minions destroyed, Harmony returns to Spike for protection until it becomes clear that Spike's infatuation with Buffy has become an obsession (cf. "Crush"). " Crush " is the 14th episode of season 5 of the television show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. [4]

Angel

Having departed Sunnydale, Harmony is next seen in the Buffy spin-off Angel, in the episode "Disharmony. Fictional narratives (and works of art exist beyond their completion e Angel is an American Television series, a Spin-off of the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. " She visits her old friend Cordelia in Los Angeles, not telling Cordelia that she has become a vampire. Los Angeles (lɑˈsændʒələs los ˈaŋxeles in Spanish) is the largest City in the state of California and the American West Harmony tries to connect with Cordelia, but has difficulty controlling her demon side. She enters Cordelia's bedroom at night, driven by bloodlust, but apologizes for her actions and intentions when Cordelia wakes up. Cordelia misunderstands her explanation, believing her to be a lesbian until the matter is cleared up by Willow in a phone call. A lesbian is a Woman who is romantically or sexually attracted only to other women Willow Rosenberg is a Fictional character created by Joss Whedon for the Television series, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Despite this, Cordelia insists on giving Harmony a chance, while rest of the team grows increasingly frustrated with her habits such as popping gum or tearing pages out of books. She accompanies the Angel Investigations team on a mission to investigate a new vampire cult, but soon betrays them to their enemies. Angel Investigations is the name of a fictional detective agency run by the title character Angel previously on the WB television series Cordelia nearly kills Harmony, but, out of some respect for the friendship they once shared, allows her to leave.

Several years later, Harmony tries to make a life for herself in L. A. She gains employment at the L. A. branch of Wolfram & Hart, as a member of the secretarial pool. Harmony is attracted by the building's necro-tempered glass windows (designed to protect vampires from sunlight which would otherwise cause them to burst into flames), as well as the firm's non-judgmental workplace culture and dental plan. Sunlight, in the broad sense is the total spectrum of the Electromagnetic radiation given off by the Sun. A few weeks into her employment with the firm, Wesley Wyndam-Pryce hires her out of the blue to be Angel's new personal secretary, after Angel and his staff are given control of that branch of Wolfram & Hart; Wesley apparently thought that a familiar face would be good for Angel. Wesley Wyndam-Pryce (also spelled Wyndam-Price When Faith goes rogue after accidentally killing a human being the Scooby Gang neglect to inform Wesley and Angel is a Fictional character created by Joss Whedon and David Greenwalt for the Television programs Buffy the Vampire Angel reluctantly agrees, on the strict condition that Harmony refrains from drinking human blood (she notes at that time that she has already been off human blood for several months). [5]

Harmony is reunited with Spike when he returns, first as a ghost and then in corporeal form. Spike (aka William "the Bloody") played by James Marsters, is a Fictional character She tries to connect with him, and initially hopes to renew their relationship now that he has a soul. Spike shows no interest for Harmony until he regains his corporeal form and proceeds to seduce her into a brief, disastrous fling, after which neither of them puts any effort into rekindling their tumultuous relationship.

At this point in her un-life, Harmony feels isolated and alone. She knows that she is incompetent as an evil vampire, but her struggle to lead a more normal life is hindered because she lacks a soul. Angel often treats her with distrust and barely-masked hostility, and her input, ideas, and presence are generally ignored by his team. Harmony also experiences an inability to connect with her co-workers, who resent her quick rise to the position of the CEO's secretary. In the episode "Harm's Way," she is framed for murder by Tamika, another vampire secretary who wants her job; Tamika also substitutes human blood for her supply of otter blood, to make it appear as though Harmony drank from the victim. [6] She clears her name and ironically saves a demon summit by staking her scheming rival on a conference table with a pair of chopsticks. Despite her incompetence, Harmony manages to prove a 'sort of' asset to the team, 'torturing' Eve (i. Eve is a Fictional character appearing in the fifth season of the cult Television series Angel. e. hitting Eve in the face a few times) to get information, helping Wesley search for information about Knox's plans, and aiding Lorne in protecting Eve from her replacement as their liaison to the Senior Partners.

Winifred "Fred" Burkle is a Fictional character created by Joss Whedon and introduced by Shawn Ryan for the cult Television series Illyria is a Fictional character created by Joss Whedon for the Television series Angel.

Harmony becomes a member of the regular cast starting with the episode "Underneath". In the series finale, "Not Fade Away," she betrays Angel, revealing his plans to go after Archduke Sebassis to Marcus Hamilton, the Senior Partners' new liaison, with whom she has a sexual relationship. Marcus Hamilton is a Fictional character that appeared on the final season of the TV series Angel. Angel, however, always expected her to betray him at some point, so he had only confided information that he wanted her to reveal. After her betrayal (which Angel blames on her lack of a soul, and she blames on his lack of confidence in her), he fires her, but not before providing her with a letter of recommendation (which he had already written and signed, in anticipation of her disloyalty). As Angel and Hamilton prepare to fight each other, she runs off, wishing them both luck: "May the best man win!"[7] Her current whereabouts are unknown.
