“

Art is one of those things that's hard to define. One person might love what someone else doesn't love. Is a thing called art because it seems really hard to do, like an elaborate sculpture, or not art because it seems really easy to make, like a squiggle on a piece of paper? To me, at least, what's art and what isn't is pretty simple. Art is anything that makes someone feel something. Possibly a good something, possibly an uncomfortable something, but always a something.

Harper is a minor character from Trolls and a recurring character in Trolls: The Beat Goes On! and Trolls: TrollsTopia.

Appearance

• Trolls
• Trolls: The Beat Goes On!
• Trolls: TrollsTopia

Promotional

Harper is a Troll with bright turquoise skin and a blue nose. Many different-colored paint splotches cover her body, such as the yellow, pink, and dark blue. The splotches also cover up her long, ultramarine hair. Harper's eyes both appear to be different colors, which suggests that she has heterochromia iridium. Her right eye is red, while her left eye is green. She wears a cream dress with a light brown button and a pocket with what seems to be pink and yellow crayons or paint brushes.

Normal

Harper's model is smaller than the average Troll in Trolls; in fact, it's an edited child Troll model. The result is that certain details of her design don't match promotional art such as the length of her hair.

Normal

Harper mostly looks the same as she did in Trolls, but is scaled to an adult size and has significantly shorter hair. Her eye colors are also changed to both be purple (rather than heterochromatic). The paint on her face is larger and covers more of it, though this is likely a simplification of her overall design to make her easier to animate.

Normal

Harper's design has changed significantly since Trolls: The Beat Goes On!, most notably with a rearrangement of the paint on her hair and face. Overall, her model is more accurate to the one she had in Trolls now.

Skills & Abilities

She has most normal Troll abilities.

Artistry

Harper's talent (and favorite hobby) is art and she is a painter. She is skilled in doing representational, expressionist, and abstract paintings over the course of her appearances in Trolls: The Beat Goes On!.

Besides painting, she can also draw, which is seen in "The Giver". Her profiling skills are very exceptional. In the episode, Sky Toronto gave her a description of "the body of a warrior, earlobes of a poet, butt that shimmers like the night sky". Despite this vague description and not knowing that he was talking about himself, Harper still managed to draw Sky.

Music

Harper is seen in "DJ's Got Talent" using art supplies in relation to DJing during Talent Week.
