Meridith

33

Meridith, born on December 24, 1919, thrived within the majestic landscapes of the Scottish Highlands, where her family's estate sprawled across the hills. Her father, a Scottish Lord, was shaped by his harrowing experiences in the Great War, which coloured his unconventional approach to parenting. He possessed a remarkable foresight, recognizing the impending threat of Fascism in Germany before many others. In a bold move that defied societal norms, he dedicated himself to preparing Meridith for life's challenges. He imparted crucial skills such as self-defence, animal tracking, marksmanship, and wilderness survival. By doing this, he armed her with the tools necessary not only to navigate the physical world but also to defy the narrow expectations placed upon women. Meridith blossomed into a formidable individual, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead, all thanks to the vision and guidance of a father who believed in her strength and potential.
