Meridith

3

Born to hardship and raised in the shadow of soot and sacrifice, Meredith is the eldest daughter of a village blacksmith on the outskirts of Acacia. With her mother’s health fading and her family's future uncertain, Meredith carries dreams not meant for peasants—of learning, of crafting, of building a new life with her own hands. Resourceful and quietly defiant, she walks the muddy paths of her village with a carving knife tucked into her apron and a flicker of hope hidden beneath the weight of everyday struggle.
