Fletcher, Merida [break] 18 Yrs Old & Female & Neutral [break] Played by Molly Quinn |
[attr="class","LD1container"]
[attr="class","LD1textarea"] What’s a woman without a man beside her? Strong and independent. No, seriously, all joking aside, why let a man get in the way when there’s a whole life waiting to be lived? Merida feels precisely this way, even if she doesn’t always know why. It’s not that she doesn’t like boys; on the contrary, she finds them attractive. She just doesn’t have time in her life to deal with them! People will vehemently deny it, but they certainly come with their own set of drama.[break][break]
Merida’s love for her family is fierce and unconditional. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t spats! This isn’t a fairy-tale after all. Her feisty, fiery nature causes her to butt heads with many people, but once she cools off she’ll try to rectify the situation in whatever way she can (though she might not admit that she’s wrong). All in all, she is very close with her family. In fact, bear hugs are totally a thing among them (pun definitely intended, if you couldn’t see the stretch to make it work).[break][break]
There was a time when Merida and her mother would not, or maybe simply could not, get along. Everything was a debate between them. What she wore, how she acted, the things she longed to spend time doing… nothing Merida liked made any difference to her mother. Queen Elinor wanted her only daughter and eldest child to grow up into a dignified, beautiful woman and princess… and one day, queen. Her daughter saw things differently. In a streak of typical teenage rebellion, she half-heartedly did the things expected of her while doing more unladylike things. Her true passions were in both archery (in which she was unmatched in skill) and doting on her beautiful steed, Angus. In fact, no one was allowed to care for the horse except her! As for her relationship with her father, Merida and Fergus were very much alike, and he only scolded her when Elinor reminded him that Merida was acting improperly. Even then, it wasn’t much of a punishment. Her brothers were adored by everyone, but no one loved them more than their older sister. They were troublemakers, to be sure, but they learned from her, so they learned from the best![break][break]
But anyway, back to Merida and Elinor. They were constantly at odds. This conflict reached its breaking point when Elinor, without anyone knowing, invited men from the other clans to compete in a tournament. The prize? Merida as a bride. Naturally, knowing Merida’s aversion to swooning over potential princes, this didn’t go over well. The feisty redhead set out to (and succeeded in) proving that she was better than all of them. The task was simple. All the prospective husbands had to do was win an archery contest. Putting a pointed edge through a specific spot shouldn’t have been too hard, should it? Apparently it was (save for the obviously accidental bulls-eye). However, when everyone looked to the princess to see how she felt, she was suddenly nowhere to be seen… until she appeared, bow in hand, to show the boys how it was done. Three perfect shots and one split arrow later, Merida and Elinor were suddenly toe to toe with each other.[break][break]
Now, what follows that is a somewhat long story, sometimes humorous and sometimes sad or even upsetting. I’ll spare you the details, as I’m sure you know what happens. Everyone does; it’s a classic tale of teenage girls and their mothers learning to understand each other. Rest assured, all ends well, and mother and daughter each end up with a newfound, healthy respect for each other. It’s like they’re bear-ly the same as they were before! (Bad puns are best puns.)[break][break]
Today, she finds herself spending her free time hanging out with her friends and/or training them in the refined art of archery. She just finds that she has a knack for it, though she doesn’t remember ever doing much of it before. She’s open to teaching anyone who wants to try and learn! She’s also a big fan of taking care of animals, and she’s especially a sucker for horses. Merida’s great at making friends (though she might not keep the ones who don’t like her stubborn-ness), and enjoys spending time with people. There’s just something freeing about spending so much time with others…
