Whimsy Harper was briefly a member of the Court of Fangs.

She was the daughter of Posey Prior and Harriett Harper, who died shortly after her birth. Raised singly by Posey alongside her littermate Lyric, Whimsy experienced an idyllic childhood and inherited many of her mother's capricious traits. When she came of age, her adventurous heart encouraged her to wander. She eventually found love in Barnabé Desrosiers, a wolf who had dispersed from his strict birth-pack. Together, they raised two litters while traveling alongside the Godbout River, until an illness took Barnabé's life.

Alone again, Whimsy reached Nova Scotia and met Nikamew Sycamore, a distant relative. He invited her to join the Court of Fangs, where Whimsy spent her last months, offering advice as a mother, telling stories, and bringing some lightheartedness to the band. When a pair of bears started making trouble for the Court, Whimsy lost her life to an orchestrated stampede.
