Harriet is a seventeen-year-old parlour-boarder at Mrs. Goddard's school for girls in Highbury village; in which she was enrolled several years prior by her parents, who remain anonymous for most of the novel. Harriet's beauty and sweetness of character bring her to the attention of Emma Woodhouse.

At the novel's end, despite Emma initially being against it, Harriet marries local farmer Robert Martin.
