I love how Harriet falls for Riivar and at the same time finds part of her identity through Riivar; Basically she meets Riivar at a festival when both of them are teens (both’s hair changing from the child-fluff blonde to their adult colours of blue. So it’s almost like same hat meme but SAME HAIR!!!!). Basically they bump into each other and Riivar asks Harriet where the performace stage (or w/e they called) and Harriet points the way. It’s so brief but at that moment Harriet had enough time to register “she was kind of pretty…” and then later on finds out Riivar is a performer. It was Riivar’s debut show and she struck the hearts of so many girls/women… including Harriet who falls head over heels, both in view as a role model / idol / crush. Harriet through watching Riivar grows more dramatic, grows more to flirt with women more often, sometimes even trying to mimic Riivar’s infamous charisma (and failing at mimicking it). She probably even has a framed picture/poster or something of Riivar in her ship captain’s quarters.

Riivar probably doesn’t remember Harriet from that day but Harriet probably/definitely would never forget such a day.
