History:
(Children of the Voyager#3 (fb) - BTS) <Over two centuries ago (see comments)> - Descended from a line of female witches, Alicia Harker married William, a self-aware child of the Voyager, and they had a daughter.

    Eventually the Voyager returned for the man; Alicia fought it as best she could, but she could not stop it from consuming her lover.

    Alicia spent much of her remaining time making a detailed study of the Voyager, and she passed on her knowledge to her daughter and commissioned her to continue her efforts to locate William.

    Alicia's daughter eventually had a daughter, and so on, through the generations, with the most recent daughter being Harriet Homerstone. Like all women in her line, Harriet became a witch and continued Alicia's mission.

(Marvel Frontier Comics Special#1/3 (fb) - BTS) - Alicia, however, never gave up on her search for William. As she approached the time of her death, she had her spirit bound to her house so that it would not pass on to the afterlife until it was reunited with William.

(Children of the Voyager#2-4 - BTS) - Harriet assisted Sam Wantling, another self-aware child of the Voyager, and Sam granted the Voyager the knowledge it needed to pass on to a higher plane, and it released all of its spawn to pass on to heaven.

(Marvel Frontier Comics Special#1/3) - Harriet summoned the spirit of her ancestor William, telling him how Alicia had never given up on him. She released Alicia's spirit from the house, and the two were reunited, apparently merging into a unified being. Before they passed on to the afterworld, the union asked Harriet if she had any requests in return. Harriet simply asked if she should be Sam's teacher, and Alica replied, "Who better?"

    Harriet then called Sam and told him that she'd spoken to the powers that be and that it was time for his first lesson.

Comments: Created by Nick Abadzis and Paul Johnson under the Marvel UK imprint.

    As Harriet Homerstone has no connection to any other Marvel characters, I would prefer to put her adventures at the time of their publication, circa 1993, making her a pre-modern era character.
    When William asked how long Alicia had been searching for him, "One century? Two?" Harriet answered, "More." That's kind of vague, but I took it as meaning a little more than two centuries, so that would mean that Alicia was active in the mid- to later 18^th Century.

    William's last name was revealed in Marvel Zombies: The Book of Angels, Demons & Other Monstrosities.

    Alicia originally received a sub-profile under Harriet Homerstone, originally profiled back in 08/13/2006.

    This profile was completed 10/16/2025, but its publication was delayed as it was intended for the Appendix 25^th anniversary 's celebratory event.
