Essentials

• Species: Meridia is probably the most Coyote-looking out of her siblings. She has a slim, angular face with large ears like a Coyote and her body is on the slimmer side.
• Fur: She inherited the thin, course Coyote fur of her father.
  • Optime Hair: Meridia's optime hair is a blend of her own two primary colors and is medium-long. Reaches just beyond her shoulders when loose. It holds some curls but is overall rather straight.
• Facial Features: Slim, angular face with large ears following her Coyote heritage.
• Build and Size: Meridia's size is on the smaller side, thought to be due to the pygmyism that runs in her maternal family. While she isn't tiny, she's much smaller than her other siblings, but has a lean body type and a confident demeanor to make up for her height. Meridia is missing half of her tail; it was accidentally cut off during a sparring session between Meridia and Namira.
• Humanization: Medium — Meridia is somewhat humanized. While she enjoys being free of clothes, she values the way they look and make her feel. She is prone to wearing loose fitting clothes, rather than form fitting. Like a loose dress or baggy pants and a loose, almost too large, shirt.

Coloration

• Fur:
• Optime Hair: Mostly Tide with Mongoose highlights throughout on at the ends (like her mother's hair)

• Baggy cargo pants that have a few moth holes
• A dull white and red dotted sun-dress.

70 lbs (32 kg)
26 in (66 cm)

Lupus

In this form, she is quite small, but also very swift. Without a great size or a heavy build, she can easily run faster than any of her siblings and can fit in tight spaces. However, due to her nature and upbringing, she only uses this form to hunt small game when she doesn't use her bow.

140 lbs (xx kg)
38 in (xx cm)

Secui

Her muscles are doubled in this form and she bulks up significantly. She uses this form to hunt larger game.

160 lbs (xx kg)
5ft 5in (65 in)

Optime (Preferred)

While still quite stunted in height, Meridia is almost always found in this form. In Portland, she works with her hands and needs to be in this form often. She only ever shifts down to hunt or travel long distances, though she does have a horse for that, too.

• Outlook: Optimistic for the most part. Coincidentally pessimistic.
• Sociability:
  • Meridia is the extroverted type. She doesn't have any issues with expressing herself.
  • Knows to respect superiors, but does take on a more assertive air.
• Alignment: Chaotic Good

Motivations

• Praise
• Physical Rewards
• Travel
• Family

Fears

• Losing a Family Member: It's a fear everyone has, only she faces it a bit more than others for some reason.

Biases

• Species: Knows about the idealistic views of the Lykoi coyotes, but welcomes all species.
• Non-Luperci: That non-Luperci should get with the times and acquire the virus like most of everyone else.

Sexuality

She hasn't had much interaction with sexuality or experience. She will probably be heterosexual, coincidentally bisexual with the right individual.

Interests

• Likes: horses, food, cooking, learning
• Dislikes: pain

Substances

Will probably try cannabis in the future but doesn't really rely on substances. Thinks of substances as a way of self-medicating and has seen how others react when using alcohol. Will probably avoid the alcohol and just focus on the things that don't affect others that way.

Key Relations

Cooking and Food Preparation

• Education and Learning: Meridia took up a cooking job in Portland where she learned from other canines of equal status how to cook, clean and prepare food.

• Meats (Master): She learned how to cut meat and how to add it into different dishes. This includes seasonings that one normally wouldn't think of.
• Baking (Master): There were always orders for different kinds of foods that include baked items like bread and pies. She got quite good at it.
• Tea Preparation (Journeyman): She makes a wickedly awesome tea.
• Meat curing and preparation (Master): Years of cleaning, skinning and curing the hides and meat that her brothers bring and that which the head-cook brought have taught her all about this.

• She is set in her ways after working at the Cooks' Den for so long and while she definitely could learn some new skills regarding cooking, for the most part she doesn't strive to learn anything new since cooked items aren't necessarily a necessity but a privilege.
• She only uses a few select herbs when making a tea and hasn't shown much interest in learning the different herbs that can have a good effect on one's health.
• She doesn't hunt for her own meat, or she didn't before she left, so it's a new skill yet to be earned.

Trading

• Education and Learning: How else does one earn their share of riches? She's extroverted and friendly. People like her, despite her short height. She learned how to trade from her mother and some of the traders in Portland. She continues to use these skills to earn food along her route through Nova Scotia and the better parts of the area known for trade.

• Charisma (Master): She's got natural charisma so she uses it to make the trade worthwhile and to get others in on the trade.
• Bartering (Master): You have to haggle others when trade is being used for skill. Most people only look after themselves and not the people they're trading to. She's good at noticing a bad trade and will turn it down in a heartbeat or haggle with the other trader will they give a better price for wares and items.
• Skill trading (Journeyman): When you don't have much but your horse and the food on your back, what better way is there to trade than with your skills? She knows how to tan hides, cook and trade. Why not use these skills to better her life?

• She can lose a trade easily with trying to haggle someone who won't come down off their high horse. She likes to be praised to and isn't afraid to turn a trade down. SO... Even though she's a good trader, she loses a lot of clientele due to them not backing down and her not taking their grief.
