Biographical Data

Megan is a pretty ordinary girl. Her life history has been largely overshadowed by the adventures of her more famous cousins, though she is largely responsible for chronicling their deeds. She lives in the rabbit-controlled city of Oseille, on the island of Viridis, where she is known as a historian and a story-teller. Her occupation might be described as being closer to that of an ancient skald than a modern academic, and it grants her something of a special status within her society. As books are something of a rarity in Viridis, those who are trained as historians are expected to know the histories of all species and factions on the island, and to be unfailing honest in their accounts of those histories. They are also expected to remain completely neutral in their politics. Thus, they are both respected and regarded as outsiders, which leaves Megan without a great many friends outside of her own family.

Megan lives with her two daughters. The elder, named Deborah, was born in mysterious circumstances that Megan refuses to discuss. It is known, however, that no male was involved. Megan's younger daughter, Kyree, on the other hand, is her child with her boyfriend, Eliki. She is very fond of both of her children, but she is also highly protective of them. This is especially true for Deborah who, at the age of eighteen, is very much like her. Maybe too much.

Personal Statement

Oh gosh, I always feel like I'm in some kind of support meeting when answering these things. Hi, my name is Megan and I'm a story-teller, but I'm taking it one day at a time! Still, I suppose if I'm going to do this, I should do it right. So. I live on the island of Viridis in a small house somewhere in the forest near Oseille. There's a lot of wild forest left on the island, and I like it better than living in the city. That doesn't mean I'm not friendly, though. Like I said, I'm a story-teller. That means I'm part historian and part entertainer and it's up to me and people like me to keep the true histories of Viridis alive. You can't trust such things to kings and queens, because they're going to want to show their side in the best light possible and vilify their enemies. I mean, I guess I'm technically some kind of royalty myself, since it's my family that founded Oseille and my cousin Fiachra rules it today. So I can understand. But the truth is important, too. I have almost five hundred different stories memorized, and plenty more written down on the ancient scrolls and books that have been entrusted to my care, and I never get tired of reading them.

That isn't to say I don't have a sense of humor, mind. Or a sense of drama. Some of these histories can be awfully dry, so sometimes I intersperse my own stories among them to keep my audience interested. I do try to let people know what's fact and what's fiction, though.

Besides that, I'm really a pretty ordinary gal. I have two daughters, Deborah and Kyree, whom I love dearly and I've recently taken my young cousin Jen in as my apprentice. So I don't really have the time for adventures like my cousins do. Anyone is welcome to visit and listen to my stories, if you're interested and don't start trouble. And don't trample my flowers.
