IC INFO

Full Name: Harmony Estelle Pearce Face Claim: Lindsay Pearce Age/Birthday: 23; December 19th, 1993 Occupation: Waitress, actress for the Untitled Abrams Project Personality: Passionate, driven, talkative, obnoxious, egocentric, eager, pushy Hometown: Chicago, IL Bio:

Harmony Pearce’s first arts and crafts project was a miniature Tony award. No, seriously; she crafted it out of super glue, popsicle sticks, and a very heavy-handed pair of safety scissors, and then stood up in her little plastic chair to proclaim her masterpiece and acceptance speech to the entirety of her preschool class. It’s still sitting on the mantle of her mother’s fireplace to this day, acting as a reminder of what Harmony has been gearing up for since before she was even born. Estelle Pearce was an actress herself, or at least an attempted one. She’d moved from Chicago to LA in her young 20s to try and garner a career, only to return home with nothing more than a few roles as an extra, and a pregnancy she had never planned for. As such, it should come as no surprise that she opted to live out her own failed dreams vicariously through her child. Estelle knew her daughter was going to be famous — it’s why she submitted a copy of Harmony’s ultrasound to appear on Murder, She Wrote, and effectively scored her unborn child’s first acting role.

It only went up from there, with Harmony gaining more roles for her resume before she could walk, including (what she’s dubbed) the honor of having her baby picture plastered on glass jars as the Gerber baby. As she grew older, she was enrolled in as many classes as her mother could afford: voice, ballet, tap, piano… nothing was too much for her and Harmony took to performing like a fish to water. With never having known her father and Estelle quickly taking on the part of manager before mother, Harmony’s entire life has been groomed for one thing: Broadway.

Her childhood and teen years were spent auditioning for as many local shows as she could manage while still going to school, adding more and more credits for her (and Estelle, who eventually insisted on Harmony calling her by her first name) to brag about. Her title in high school was “that one annoying choir girl”, which made friendships difficult, but Estelle assured her that those sort of things would only get in the way of her ultimate goal. Still, being a teenage girl who spent most of her time with her mother  and on stage lead to obvious loneliness, which in turn helped bring about Harmony’s rather… for lack of a better word, obnoxious personality. She’d be loud and boisterous in an attempt to gain people’s attention so that they would like her, a trait that’s carried over into her adulthood and went over well with her theatre friends, but in high school? Not so much.

Moving to New York wasn’t so much an achievement as it was an expectation, with her mother selling their home in Illinois almost as soon as Harmony graduated high school. For Estelle, it was one step closer to her daughter’s name being displayed on Broadway marquees. For Harmony, it was a chance to start over. New York was the city of dreams, and while her top dream was, and always has been, to be a leading lady, moving seemed like it was finally a chance for her to live a life of her own. This wasn’t as easy as she’d hoped, since it felt like every time she may had been able to reach out and get to know the city on a personal level, her mother was dragging her to yet another audition. She received a bit extra part here and there in off- and off-off-broadway shows, but most of Harmony’s time was spent working as a waitress to save up money of her own.

When she was finally able to move out from under Estelle’s roof (though not from underneath her mother’s over-bearing presence and constant voicemails and calls about possible auditions), Harmony truly felt free. She found an apartment, a roommate, and even found herself with a regular acting gig. Admittedly, it’s on YouTube and she’s only a supporting role, but that’s not the point. The point is that she did it all on her own, and Harmony has now shifted her goal: to make it big, but to do it on her own terms. With her talent, motivation, and, shall we say, exuberant personality, Harmony knows she’ll make herself proud one day. In the meantime, she’ll stay loving her life and the people in it, in all her loud-mouthed, optimistic glory.

Pets: One very grump tabby cat, affectionately named Catti LuPurrne. Catti LuPurrne lost an eye in an alley fight before Harmony adopted her, making her look even meaner, but Harmony will literally sing praises about how much a sweetheart she is. Really, she just doesn’t trust most people and spends her days primarily on Harmony’s bed, but if she likes you she’ll let you scratch behind her ears — okay, that’s enough ear scratching human, you may leave now.

Relationships:

The Untitled Abrams Project

Harmony is still working to get a feel for her fellow show-mates, having only recently joined the cast as Sylvia Allen, but she has high hopes! She never really had many friends growing up, so she’s kept her fingers crossed that she can win them over one by one. If that happens to be in the form of bringing freshly (bought) baked goods for every read and recording, well then… Harmony isn’t above that tasty form of bribery.

Blair Anderson

Admittedly, meeting one of your neighbors via impromptu duets performed through the walls of your back-to-back showers isn’t really conventional, but Harmony isn’t at all what people would call conventional in the first place. When they met properly under the guise of Harmony needing to borrow a cup of sugar, it was game over in terms of her clinginess. Harmony considers Blair to be one of her first genuine friends, and will gladly drop everything (save for the mic. sound equipment is not a toy!) to spend time with her
