Dallas Meyer

Dallas Meyer

Dallas Meyer is the headstrong, extremely vocal best friend of Riley, as well as Maggie's roommate. She is a deuteragonist character in ***WILD University***.

## **Appearance**

### Season One

Dallas has a very slender, noodle-like build due to her being a weasel. She wears a lot of jewelry: three ear accessories, and a locket around her neck. During her performances, she wears two spikey cuffs on her wrists. Dallas is seen wearing a cropped, red tank top with a black jean jacket on top, as well as ripped jean shorts. She wears red combat boots, giving her an overall "biker girl" appearance.

## **Personality**

Dallas is the headstrong and hotheaded member of the main trio. She's quick to anger and very short-tempered, so it's best to tread lightly in her presence; she's not afraid to tell even the largest of carnivores off. Dallas, while snippy and crude at first, is actually quite a softie; she cares very deeply about those close to her and will often go to extreme lengths to protect them.

Ironically, the fact that Dallas cares so much about others is also her downfall. She often disregards her own physical and mental health in order to make sure her loved ones are safe, which is something she's vaguely aware of. When someone is gravely ill/injured, Dallas gets anxious very easily, often not listening to what the person is saying (more about that later.)

## **Backstory**

Growing up, Dallas was particularly close with Cora, as they had much more in common than she did with Gemma. They practically did *everything* together, from baking, to bike riding, to watching corny 90's sitcoms. However, a wrench is thrown into their happy little relationship when Cora learns she has thyroid cancer; it's not terminal, but she's very obviously getting weaker and weaker as time goes on. This makes Dallas a nervous wreck 24/7, so much so that she lays down every night wondering if that was the last day she'd see her mother alive. Dallas is around 12 at this point, so between the raging hormones and conflicting emotions, her anxiety is through the roof. She seeks comfort in Gemma and Riley, both of whom do their best to comfort her. Gemma tells her, "we just have to be there for your ma. That's all we can do." Riley, who is significantly worse at comforting people, both verbally and physically, reassures Dallas that he'll be there for her through it all. As it would turn out, neither of these talks really soothed Dallas' anxiety and she began to slowly spiral; her grades begin to slip, she barely sleeps, and her social life is non-existent. On the weekends, she's always at the hospital and refuses to leave her mother's side; she even got physical with a nurse once, biting him when he went to take Dallas out of the room.

Cora is released a few days later and soon, things slowly start to calm down. However, she starts to take notice that Dallas is *different* than before; she was significantly less energetic, her friends rarely came around anymore, and...had she lost weight? Concerned, Cora speaks to Dallas and offers to take her to a therapist. She reluctantly agrees, but everyone, including herself, begins to see a positive change in Dallas once she starts talking to someone. After a long almost year, she's okay and decides she doesn't need a therapist anymore, happy to return to life as it was before, for the most part. Dallas wouldn't dare say anything, but she does still struggle with the lingering thought that her mother could be gone at any given moment. Although rare, Dallas does cry about it every once in a while; luckily, Riley is there to comfort her, which he improves at (eventually).

As Dallas gets older and high school comes to a close, she's unsure of what she wants to go to college for. Her moms gave her no choice; she was to go to college, but for *what?* Seeing how good it felt to help her mom and how satisfied she felt when Cora got released from hospital, Dallas realized that helping people was her calling, and her ultimate goal is to become a doctor: Dr. Meyer, here she comes! She agrees with her moms to start her education at WILD to make sure she really wants to do this in the future, and after she gets her bachelors in biology, she's free to pursue higher education at a more health-focuses school.
