Personality: Harold is the kind of guy that doesn't know what he wants from life, content to just live each day by itself. He decides things on whims, and is easily fixated once he's found something he's interested in. Books, running, Elenore Abendritter, whatever, or whoever, it may be. Despite his aloof manner, however, he is quite caring about others and almost too willing to take the blame for other people's mistakes. That isn't to say he's a completely nice person, however. One of his favorite things to do is to annoy people, be it directly or not. His favorite target seems to be Elenore Abendritter, a young girl who worked at the store he manages. His hobbies include annoying people, reading, and running. He's not as good at reading as Lenore is, or running as his sister is, but he still enjoys them.
History: Hailing from Trost, Howard Stern was born to Barry and Amanda Stern, the oldest of two siblings. His younger sister, Amalia, clung to him, wanting to go everywhere with her big brother. That changed when he played a trick on her that went too far, and the girl has hated him ever since. He's continuously apologized for the incident, even going as far as to swear off playing a trick on her ever again, but she refuses to accept his apologies. Deciding the best thing he could do was give her space, he left home for the Shiganshina district where he got a job at the local bookstore, eventually being promoted to manager.
It was then that a girl in an oversized jacket came to his store, looking for employment. After finding the girl knew even more about books than he did, he promptly hired her. The girl's name was Elenore Abendritter, and she became a subject of interest for him. She hardly ever smiled, or talked, or did much of any socializing, in fact. Determined to draw a reaction out of her, he went to work putting her into situations were she'd be around other people. He sent customers to her for advice, sent her on errands, signed her up for the festival, but nothing ever seemed to get a reaction. Eventually, however, the girl was conscripted into the military. Deciding that the military might be more interesting than managing a decreasingly-often visited book store, he decided to join as well.
