Born and raised in Cliving, Eastern Rohan, Mereawyn is the daughter of a professional soldier and his wife. She has a brother who has followed in his fathers footstep. As a child Mereawyn wanted to play with swords and spears more than she wanted to learn to mend clothes and cook dinner. As Mereawyn grew older she realised it was expected of her to marry a soldier and tend to a home and children of her own, just like her mother. Mereawyn rebelled against this idea and soon the expectations of her parent's and suitors became too much, and she fled Cliving to make her own destiny. Perhaps one day she will return to the town where she was born, but for now, she is fully enjoying her freedom and the sights the world can offer.
