Not really a Harpy, since they're supposed to be all old and wrinkly-hag-ish, so I guess this is more of a siren.
Random stuff. This is what came out right nhow.

Here's a quote that I read.
Do you remember where you read them being prideful? I don't recall ever seeing that in any harpy lore.
HARPIES
In earlier versions of Greek myth, Harpies were described as beautiful, winged maidens. Later they became winged monsters with the face of an ugly old woman and equipped with crooked, sharp talons. They are represented as carrying off persons to the underworld and inflicting punishment or tormenting them. Those persons were never seen again.
The Harpies were driven away by Cailas Zetes, the Boreads, and since then they lived on the Strophades.
Originally, Harpies were probably the personification of storm winds. They are: Aello ("the Stormswift"), Celaeno ("the Dark") and Ocypete ("the Swiftwing").
SIRENS
SIRENS IN GREEK MYTHOLOGY The SIRENS had maidens' features but from the thighs down, they had the forms of birds. One of them played the lyre, another sang, and another played the flute, and by these means they persuaded passing mariners to linger.
