## Biography

Meera is the second child and only daughter of Sygarda and Baelor Saltcliffe. She was born a year before the War for the Seadragon throne. She was too young to remember it. From a young age she followed her mother like a duck would. Often her mother would instruct her on the ways to be a woman and a warrior. She loathed when her mother would leave her to go on reaves. At the time she didn’t much care for her brothers, father, or uncle; who would come watch them when her family went to reave.

Like her younger brother Joron, she was very studious and was especially interested in the history of House Hoare. She found that fighting on land was somewhat of a ‘lost art’ and should be focused on more. After her studies were completed she went to train with the master-at-arms of Castle Saltcliffe and Harwyck. In 89 AC when Urragon Drumm took over the throne and imposed the new rule Meera merely shrugged. Thinking, “so?” Most her time over the next few years was spent with her mother traveling to Blacktyde and training with her. When Meera was not off training she was learning from her uncle Cotter about fighting on land. He taught her quite a bit before his death in 90 AC. The next five years were spent in between Saltcliffe and Blacktyde training and experimenting. Meera found that she preferred both men and women and in 95 AC began to challenge people to bouts with the prize of victory being her just for some fun. Rarely did she lose. Life was good for Meera overall. She, luckily, did not participate in the raid of the Rhoyne around 95 AC. Both her father and elder brother fell. This allowed Sygarda to be a lord for one year until her younger brother, Joron became lord. In 96 AC Joron became lord of Saltcliffe. While Joron and she didn’t always see eye to eye she had to admit Joron was a much better lord than her older brother would have been. Even if he was shit at fighting.

She joined Joron on the reave of the Summer Islands in 98 AC and finally got to test her battle skills on land proving to be a good commander. Her favorite part though was burying her huge axe into those islanders faces.

Now she lazily looks for a husband. Though, perhaps if a suitor with incredible martial prowess came around she would be interested.

She participated in the attack on the Arbor during Drumm's war. She was a leading commander during the Sacking of Ryamport. After Urragon's death she swore an oath of loyalty to Sigrun Blacktyde, an oath she latter fulfilled when she joined forces with Blacktyde against Florian Greyjoy.
