## **Appearance**

Tall and athletic, standing at 5' 9", with tanned skin, green eyes and long gold hair,
she would be very pretty if she wasn't always frowning.  Large white wings.  She always carries a sword on her hip and usually seen wearing armor.

She's 16.

## **Personality**

Very serious and to the point.  She isn't one for small-talk.  She enjoys fighting more than anything.  Skilled with a sword,  she considers herself a warrior and feels responsible for Rosebud's kidnapping.  She will not rest until she finds her sister.  She is not much of a planner, however, and often runs into battle without thinking about it first.

She is very determined when she sets her mind to something, no matter what it is. She hates reading, and anything that doesn't involve moving.

She has, however, been known to get in to verbal battles against a certain Spring Lord...

Quick to anger, and generally reacts violently.

## **History**

Meddow, in her childhood days, was known to be a very happy, smiling, mischievous girl, often running around singing and pulling pranks, with flowers in her hair and wearing the usual Spring pastels.

Then, tragedy struck in the form of a bandit attack on her and her young best friend, ending his life prematurely. Having been there, but unable to help, she was wracked with survivor's guilt.

During the following weeks, a change could be seen in her. She no longer smiled, and continued to wear the black colors of mourning after his funeral. Her pranking and singing stopped instantly, and she became serious and sullen.

Promising herself no one she cared about would ever die again from her weakness, she began to study the Spring Guard and demanded they train her. Of course, being a child known for jokes and such, they laughed her off, but she only became more determined, training herself by watching them and doing as they did.

Eventually, she challenged the herself, and held her own to the point where they couldn't concider it a joke anymore, and while they couldn't accept her into their ranks officially without her parents' permission, they agreed to train her with them.

Meddow became strong, skilled and ruthless, cutting ties with nearly everyone beyond her family and the guard, to focus on honing her new skills. She studied the tactics of all Seasons through the centuries, drilling them into her memory and even creating her own fighting styles. As she grew as a warrior and a teen, that happy, little princess she once was seemed to fade and wither away, buried under armor, scowls and the sharp edge of a steel blade.

## **Character Relationships**

**Princess Rosebud Spring (sister)**

Meddow, due to her love for combat, was training with the Spring Guards when Rosebud was kidnapped. She is terrified for her sister and angry at the other royals for not having found her yet.

**Princess Tulip Spring (twin sister)**

Meddow and Tulip are quite close. Meddow feels a bit more comfortable talking to Tulip about her combat hobbies then she does with her other sisters, and sometimes even makes small attempts at humor with her.

**Prince Echo Spring (older brother)**

She cares a lot about her brother and gets very defensive when someone insults his appearance or hurts his feelings. He helped her get to where she is now, assisting her with her training, even though he dislikes fighting. She's been known to confide in him more than with anyone else.

**Lord Root**

Meddow met him once and took an instant dislike to him. She is thoroughly annoyed by him and relished her victory over him in his arrest. Honestly, she probably took his crime against Avalon as an excuse to put him behind bars, rather than a reason. She did however, find him somewhat entertaining, and would visit him simply for the banter. Since his escape, she has been trying to track him down, but those plans have been temporarily put on hold.

Drake Pine

Maddow respects him greatly ever since he agreed to train her and her men. She doesn't flinch at his disability, and actually might have a bit of a crush on him...

Chase Heatwave

Ever since their betrothal, they have teamed up to try and get their parents to break it off. They are rarely together long before they disagree, but they do approach each other fairly often for people who claim to not be able to stand each other. After overhearing a comment from Chase at the Festival of Lights, any warm feelings Meddow may have been gaining were quickly shut down.

Lumikka Stryker

Meddow considers her a sister-in-arms and respects her. She seems to be one of the few people Meddow can stand.

Eira Midwinter

If she hadn't gotten betrothed to Echo, the two might have become friends. But ever since Meddow found out about their engagement, she has loathed Eira and gone out of her way to make the dislike and suspicion clear.
