Name: Meyrle | Uncert | Cert |
Meaning: ??? ???
Pride: Chokwe
Mate: Vahn (Thalion)
Personality & History:
Meyrle is over protective and a bit of a twerp. She can be very friendly, but get on her bad side (or Vahn's) and expect the rude treatment. She loves shiny objects and she loves to steal things for the fun of it. Especially shiny things.
Her mother was a member of the EnGedi originally, a rival to the Aba Horaki clan. During times of little, the Aba Horaki would often invade the fertile territory of the En Gedi to survive. In one such raid, Meyrle's parents were killed. Rather than killing her on the spot, the raiders collected her and presented the young cub to the royal family as a gift. The royals gave the cub to their youngest heir, Vahn, as their eldest, Fulkin, already had two servants of his own.
While much was expected of him, Vahn was hardly the warring type. While he put up a touch guise, Meyrle was able to see through it. Aside from his brother, Meyrle was the only one that Vahn allowed to come close to him.
In front of the tribe, Meyrle was the perfect, humble servant. In private, she was Vahn's equal and companion.
As Vahn and Meyrle grew older together, Vahn was forced more and more to go off to train with the warriors. While Meyrle was treated well and kept healthy in his absence, it was difficult for her to be away from her friend. When Vahn returned from his training, it became habit for the young lioness to fling herself onto the princeling and welcome him with an onslaught of kisses. At first the pride frowned on the behavior, but over time it became a common sight.
Because of his frequent trips away, and his frequent returns with injuries, Meyrle became clingy and over-protective of him.
Vahn's older brother, Fulkin, was said to have abandoned the tribe during his rite of succession trial. The ordeal drove Vahn to train harder and recluse himself further. Following Fulkin's death, Vahn's father took a mortal wound and eventually passed. Grieved by her loss, Vahn's mother stopped eating. She, too, eventually passed away, leaving Vahn in the care of his mentor and his servant. Meyrle was his only shoulder to cry on.
With Vahn as the only royal remaining, his work load became more and more demanding. He trained constantly with Meyrle watching from the side. Many of Vahn's men had come to calling Meyrle "Lordling's Shadow" as she was ever-present beside or behind the young prince.
As the time for Vahn's trial neared, Meyrle became more aggressive with her protection and care of the young leopard. She took on the previously unacceptable habit of getting into the faces of even Vahn's mentors and tutors to tell them when Vahn had suffered enough training for the day. She'd spend hours grooming Vahn's fur and tending to his injuries.
She waited along the boarder from the moment Vahn left for his trial and was the first to celebrate his successful return. Meyrle stood behind Vahn as he was named the king of the Aba Horaki. Just moments after his succession, his brother, Fulkin returned with a force of rogues and rebels from the outside lands. The Aba Horaki fought to the last warrior, but in the end, the warriors were felled.
The general of the Aba Horaki pleaded with Vahn to save himself and return to avenge them. Meyrle suspected the only reason Vahn submitted to the request was to save her. The two managed to escape with their lives at the cost of the remaining clan members.
Forced to a life of a nomad, Meyrle remained true to her duty. Vahn refuses to let her call herself a servant since the attack on his home town left them as equals- refugees.
