Nurse Harrow works at the Marble Hill Possession Ward. Her apparent reason for joining the ritual is to help New Yorkers; she may also want to exceed her limits and relieve the burden of carrying patients’ pain. She stores that pain in her medical bag and redistributes it where it can do less harm. Her work with dangerous magic demands care and attention.

A shared mentor taught Harrow and Edmund Volker, a Belgian practitioner stationed at Lost Whisper. Seven implies he killed Volker during his escape. Rat King and the Soul Urn associate Harrow with something umbral, apparently connected to her bag; its exact meaning is unknown.

Harrow is stern, direct and intolerant of disobedience, jokes and small talk. She distrusts arrogance, takes her professional ethics seriously and remembers patients and symptoms. Her care can be severe, and patients differ in their assessment of her treatment. She speaks with a British Received Pronunciation accent.

Appearance

Harrow is tall, with dark red hair in a bun, a white streak, orange eyes and rimless half-frame glasses. Her nurse’s outfit combines a mint-striped dress, apron, medical armband, cap, gloves, boots and a high-collared cape with an eye motif. A chatelaine carries medical tools, keys, a vial and a clock. Her black Gladstone bag has a reactive orange eye and tooth-like zippers. Her syringe gun’s fluid changes from orange to green for Healing Needles; collecting leeches makes facial veins more prominent. During Lurking Terrors her clothing darkens, accents turn crimson, the cape eye glows and her hair becomes white before the usual colors return.

Relationships

Harrow recognizes Seven’s power; he threatens her and implies he killed her friend Volker. She remembers Nicholas Tsai, Violet’s childhood friend and former patient. Violet compares Harrow to an art professor she loved and feared, while Harrow sees Violet as talented but undisciplined.
