Harper Anne Brooks-Kahn is from Northampton, Massachusetts (which she describes as “not Boston”), but not-so-secretly wishes she were from either “somewhere in Europe” or Wisconsin (good choice, Harper). This perhaps explains her lifelong love of all UW sports teams and also the Green Bay Packers (she owns a courageous amount of Packers gear considering her new residence in MN). Eek’s fourth (adopted) Madisonian lists her favorite member of the UW-Madison Men’s Basketball team as Frank Kaminsky, which led to a “very brief phase as a Charlotte Hornets fan.” Like 90% of Eclipse, Harper filled her youth with soccer before being co-opted by ultimate, and her A+ field awareness as both a handler and cutter is a testament to the success of the Soccer Training Program. A lover of specific foods, Harper’s favorite breakfast foods are “breakfast nachos” (suspiciously un-breakfast-like) and challah french toast (which is admittedly a breakfast food), although she claims to dislike breakfast in general (a great travesty). She also enjoys craisins and “mint and white chocolate hot chocolate from the Pittenweem Chocolate Company and Cocoa Tree Cafe in Scotland.” In addition to being a brilliant addition to Eek’s official roster, Harper is a major win for the team’s (as of yet nonexistent) trivia group: she can list “a large majority” of the countries and capitals of the world and clearly knows her sports facts. Despite her lack of confidence in her ability to fly the Millennium Falcon, Eek is over the moon to welcome Harper to its ranks! (And fully believes in her nascent piloting skills.)
