Sexual Orientation: Straight
Birthplace: In central region of Askaria, in medium size town of Calahan. However this town got hit hard by the Decay so it's a former shell of itself.
Abilities: Musician- Meridian plays the violin and is able to use magical energy through it, which influences the moods of others. Mostly it's used to subdue ferocious beasts by putting them to sleep. Eagle eye vision- Being an archer, Meridian is able to see things from far away. Archery and daggers- Meridian is an excellent archer and has some skill with daggers, but prefers hitting things from a distance.
Weakness: Ear sensitivity- Meridian can't handle high or low pitch noises. This also includes sudden loud noises too. Physically week- While Meridian is good at long distance combat, she really wouldn't last long against someone physically stronger then her. Limit to her eagle eye- At the max that she can see, she can only hold that sight for a few minutes because it strains her too much and she can get headaches. As a result she doesn't rely on it too much.
Personality: Meridian is very easy going and has the appearance of being naive. This is far from the truth. In reality she's seen too much and her smile is merely a facade to her broken heart. As a result, she doesn't try to make any deep connections to people because she honestly doesn't think she can take anymore pain. She is determined to find a way to stop the Decay so no one else has to suffer like her. While generally very patient, you don't want to get on her bad side.
History: Meridian was born the 3rd child of 5 with one older brother and sister and two younger brothers. Her father was a smith and her mother use to be a traveling bard. However, she gave up traveling after falling for Meridian's father and simply sang at the local theater. Meridian would learn how to play the violin through a friend of her mother's and learned the bow and arrow from her father. So her life was a happy one until the Decay finally reached her home when she was 15. The first to get it would be her oldest siblings. Meridian and her two younger brothers were sent away for their own protection to a cousin's place outside the town. Months go by with no word from their parents. Now 16, Meridian makes the decision to return to Calahan to find out what happened. What awaits her is a disaster as the town she was raised in has been devastated by the effects of the Decay. Many people had been slaughtered by beasts and Decayed humans. Meridian herself was forced to slay a few when she entered the town. The town soldiers had been working tirelessly to fight off the threats. Meridian discovers that her parents are dead and her older siblings had been the ones who killed them before being put down by soldiers. Heart-broken, Meridian returns to her cousin's house, only to meet with another tragedy. Her cousin lived out in the country side and unfortunately when Meridian came back, she found Decayed Beasts attacking the place. Meridian attacked without thought, but unfortunately had been too late. Her brothers and cousin had tried putting up a good fight, but they hadn't been able to kill all of the beasts. Only one had been left and Meridian managed to take it out with one of her daggers, although she herself got injured. Treating her own injury the best she could, she fell asleep from exhaustion and the next day buried her remaining family. She's been on her own ever since and makes a living off of her violin playing. She is currently 24 years.
