Early childhood[]
When Harry Anderson was but a “LITTLE BAMBINO” he was made a part of the family tradition of being bestowed a bunny of his own. Harry Anderson's was a simple white rabbit, which proved a perfect test subject for his burgeoning interest in fashion and costume, eventually coming to be called “Sheriff Dry Hops”.
Harry Anderson used his mother's sewing machine regularly until he received his own when he was ten years old.
In The Homestuck Epilogues[]
Harry Anderon's fifth birthday party was held at Jane Crocker's mansion in attempt to "save" Tavros Crocker from his own family.[citation needed] Jane attempted to buy Harry Anderson's affection with ludicrously expensive gifts, going as far as giving him his own Imperial Drone[citation needed]
While Harry was busy opening gifts, John went with Tavros to his room in an attempt to escape with him out of his neglectful household, and has a loud argument with Jane which attracts everyone's attention to the room. After John realizes his outburst of wind wrecked Tavros' room, Harry began to cry.
Sometime later in Harry Anderson's life, John and Roxy divorced and Harry didn't see his father for years.
In Homestuck: Beyond Canon[]
Harry Anderson's ego causes him to undergo some complete miscommunication, interpreting Vrissy's very real developments to be simply pranks, and is horrified when discovering his misstep; he is suddenly an associate to Vrissy, Tavros, and Vriska's assassination of a religious figurehead. He does not handle the stress well, but he does organize the situation to be held at his and Roxy's home, where they can figure out what to do next thereon.
The momentum is interrupted by the unexpected arrival of John, who is experiencing a grand personal discovery and wishes to reconnect with his estranged family. As such, he is forced to endure a "heart-to-heart" with John wherein he reportedly prolonged John's knowledge of the situation until after he was gone.
When time actually comes to making a plan, however, Harry Anderson and his party are prematurely sidetracked by casual conversation to better acquaint themselves with one another. It is not until he receives a phone call from an ecstatic, surprisingly encouraging John that any of them take real action about the press that swarm Roxy's household.
Stuck at home in the “epicenter of a raging war” as his parents get to work on a secret project, Harry takes the opportunity to pick up his bunny and spruce up in his own personal dressing room, which Vrissy has left “a COMPLETE DISASTER.” He attempts to contact Tavros, who is presently in the middle of “something rather emotionally fraught,” and so instead communicates with Vrissy, who has just escaped prison. The two reunite, and are subsequently picked up by her mothers' battleship.
Personality and traits[]
Harry Anderson's interests range from old Earth theater movies, too sewing and accessorizing. He has a particular fondness for Andrew Lloyd-Webber's Cats; his ringtone even being "Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats" from the original musical soundtrack, and among the decorations in his room is a poster for the 2019 film. His hand-crafted costumes are featured in local and school productions, and he takes pride in his hobbies, sharing them with any of his friends who will abide by such mischievous dress-up;[citation needed] however, he himself suffers from stage fright.
He shares in some of his interests with his family, which helps him to engage in conversation with his estranged father. His relationship with John is stiff, though, and he regards his father with apprehension, often underestimating John's abilities in stressful scenarios. He often talks about John condescendingly to others, distancing himself from him and stressing the differences that make his freaking outs "cooler" than John's. He notes John's attempt to reconnect with him and Roxy with disdain, but he is pleasantly impressed as he discovers how John actually is in real life-threatening scenarios. Further, he appears to be genuinely happy that John offered a drive together, although he could also be amused by John's comically bad timing.
Harry Anderson is sneaky, much like Roxy, but more verbally. Possibly influenced by John's pranks, Harry Anderson often interprets what his friends say as jokes, and plays along seamlessly, whether they are actual jokes or not. Moreover, he appears able to deceive his parents and avoids exhibiting signs of stress, as evidence to keeping John from watching the news with his own discussion.
Growing up with God tier players as relatives has skewed his judgment of character, remarking that both of his parents are dissimilar to the legends he knows about. The canonicity of the Candy timeline (or, lack thereof) may also have lasting effects on his perceptions, as he feels Vriska (who is from outside the actual timeline) to be "fresher" than which he already knows, although disturbing and ruthless.
It is implied that Harry Anderson may be popular at school, or at least esteemed enough to believe he is.
Harry Anderson avoids swearing around his family, and he appears accustomed to answering the phone despite not wanting to.
Relationships[]
Vriska Maryam-Lalonde[]
Harry and Vrissy are matesprits. Harry says sometimes she can be a shitty girlfriend. They have gotten to second base. They sneak out to meet each other in troll neighborhoods, and Vrissy is accustomed to sneaking in and out of Harry's house (he gave her a key).
Tavros Crocker[]
Tavros Crocker and Harry are friends, but Harry tends to insult him. He tries to make up before Vriska does her thing, but then Vriska does her thing.
Vriska Serket[]
Vriska shortened his name without asking him. They have had one long conversation to date.
John Egbert[]
Harry has hangups about his father having rarely talked to him. He is surprised and sort of annoyed when John starts wanting to be a dad again right as shit starts to go down. John loves Harry very much, and is incredibly proud of him, keeping a baby photo of him on his wallet, and looked out for him to make sure he didn't listen to Gamzee's preacher nonsense. He was incredibly depressed when he wasn't able to see him again after his divorce with Roxy, with the fact that Vrissy had more contact with Harry than he did already being enough to make him tear up.
Roxy Lalonde[]
Harry's mother loves him very much, she has multiple framed baby pictures of him throughout her house. She struggled to describe to John how she felt having him, as she didn't feel like she could do the overwhelming goodness of it justice, saying that having Harry Anderson kind of outweighed the problems she has with the life she chose, and wanted to hug and protect him from the potential pain at talking to his father again the moment he came back from school. Harry isn't seen talking to his mother much, but it's clear the two have a very positive relationship.
Jane Crocker[]
Jane is Harry's "auntie". When he was young she gave him a surveillance drone for his birthday, and made security keep an eye on him. He still managed to sneak out to meet Vrissy, though.
Imode Kurita[]
Imode Kurita often spent time with Harry in the Drama Club or at his mother's house.[citation needed]
