You just can’t stand the fact that I'm my own person now. There comes a time in a woman's life when she realizes she has to take that next step. I've taken it. I've found the real me, and I like her.
Harmony Kendall

Harmony Kendall was a former Sunnydale High School student turned vampire and later Angel's secretary at Wolfram & Hart.

Biograpgy
Sunnydale High
Harmony attended Sunnydale High School, where she was a member of Cordelia Chase's popular clique, the "Cordettes." Harmony was particularly disdainful and cruel with Willow Rosenberg and Alexander Harris who consider her just a nuisance. Harmony often accompanied Cordelia Chase who formulated a disparaging opinion of Buffy after Cordelia blackened her possible popularity after a misunderstanding at the Bronze nightclub, which Harmony was a witness to.

Harmony, along with Cordelia and the rest of the Cordettes, caused fellow Sunnydale High student Marcie Ross to become invisible by their negligence of her: it caused Marcie herself to believe she was invisible, and that state of mind, along with the ever-growing mystical energy emanated from the Hellmouth, made her become actually invisible. Marcie then attempted to kill Harmony as part of a plot of vengeance against Cordelia. Whilst Harmony was conversing with Cordelia at the school quad, Marcie pushed Harmony down the stairs in hopes of causing her to break her neck from the fall; however, Harmony only sprained her ankle as a result.

When Cordelia began dating Xander Harris, Harmony shunned her from their clique and usurped her position as leader of the group. Ironically, she was also momentarily "in love" with Xander, like all other women of the city except Cordelia, because of a spell invoked by Amy Madison. After Cordelia and Xander's breakup, Harmony tricked Cordelia into thinking that she had been re-admitted into the clique, only to humiliate and reject her. She tried also to become friends with the new student, Anya Jenkins. However, this last was bored by her superficiality. After Anya revealed herself to be a vengeance demon and granted Cordelia's wish that Buffy Summers had never arrived in Sunnydale, the alternate reality had a Harmony version more subdued, but still part of the Cordettes.

Harmony's a vampire? She must be dying without a reflection.
Buffy Summers about Harmony

In the Graduation Day battle against mayor Richard Wilkins during his Ascension, Harmony was sired by one of Wilkins' vampire minions. She rose as a vampire, having retained her characteristic pettiness, susceptibility to stronger-willed people, and affection for unicorn figurines. Harmony began a relationship with Spike, whom she called her "blondie bear." Neither Spike nor Harmony were satisfied with their relationship; Spike was frustrated by Harmony's ignorance and clinginess, while she was exasperated with his endless broken promises and repeated attempts to kill Buffy. They separated, although she agreed to rekindle their relationship after Spike escaped from the Initiative. Harmony quickly regretted this decision after she recognized Spike's renewed campaign against the Slayer, even chasing him out of her lair with a stake when he sought her help.

After separating from Spike, Harmony wanted to be a strong vampire who could get by on her own; accordingly, she gathered her own gang and made her own attempt to kill Buffy by kidnapping her sister Dawn. The plan ended in an embarrassing defeat, especially when both Buffy and Xander considered the very thought of Harmony having minions to be amusing. However, her insistence on taking their time rather than attacking them directly and even letting them feed
