Hi! Welcome to the first Harriet Talks Tuesday. What are HTT? I'm glad you asked, every Tuesday I'll talk about Harriet Davenport from RDO and discuss her character and the bits of lore we can get for her via voice lines.
I'll also explore other things like her work, her issues with Gus and poachers, her little quirks and much more! I will try to keep up consistently with the posts on Tuesday but I cannot promise much.
If anyone has any questions or anything they'd like me to elaborate on (within reason) I will attempt to answer the question with either my interpretation of it with some voice lines of hers that will show why I have formed this opinion or help elaborate certain things and ideas I am attempting to communicate.
Hi welcome to the second very late Harriet Talks Tuesday, stuff happened, but we're back!
Okay in this one I'd like to talk about Harriet's family, now we know they're wealthy as evidenced by Gus's lines, Harriet wearing lace and her multiple mentions of endowments. However did you guys know that Harriet has a sister? In one voice line she talks about how her sister calls her a disappointment to the Davenport name for refusing to settle down and continuing her studies. Keep this in mind because there's another Harriet line where she talks about not wanting to come home for Thanksgiving and she mentions that her mother probably just wants to sit her next to that nice doctor again. So with this we can gather that her family very clearly wants her married off and she's not to keen on the idea.
In Saint Denis there's a store titled Davenport and Co. Which I believe is a fashion store? I'll have to check again. Harriet has a line where she talks about how amazed her father would be at what just a couple of pieces of paper can do. Speaking of him, he has cats, if you turn in a panther sample Harriet has a chance to say the line "these are much bigger then father's lap cats." Which makes me think her love of animals was there since childhood.
We don't know much about the other Davenports as we never see them in game, we just hear about them via Harriet, but from what we can gather it seems her sister isn't too supportive of her, but her parents seem to be a bit more supportive. All in all I'd love to see the Davenports more and fully see Harriet's relationship with her parents and sister or at least see which of the two is older, Harriet is probably younger seeing as how her sister seems to be already married but we'll never know for sure.
Anyways this concludes this Harriet Talks Tuesday bye!
