BIRTHPLACE:The High Mountains
FAMILY:Her father is Rowan, and her mother is Abithia of the Mon Morana family in the High Mountains. She has since married however to Tristan de Olindia and given him a son Arryn de Olindia.
SCHOOLING:Mèrida has been given all the best schooling that can be found in the West, and nothing was spared from her knowlage in order to best all her to serve as wife to the one day king.
HISTORY:Since the moment she was born, it was known that Mèrida would wed Tristan. They had no say in the matter, but neither found the other objectable. As she was raised, nothing was spared from her education, and training. She might as well have been born a royal, for Mèrida has always been treated as one. When she came of age, she was wed to the crown prince and became his wife.

Over the years she has taken on the role of support to her husband, and secretly working to assure that when he does take the throne that he will be doing so with more lands, more men, and more power. She wants her son to be the heir of Olindia as he should have been. She wants the other kingdoms under his rule. And nothing will stop her from making sure he gets his birthright!

Arryn was six now, and had been for a week. It meant he was training along with his father and some of the approved men on how to be a knight. How to fight and hold a sword. It would be a skill mostly used for ceremonial uses, and tournaments, but even so as his mother she did on occasion came out to sit in the pulps to clap, cheer and pretend to be impressed at his achievements.

While she sat there and clapped her hands at his newest sword action he had learned, she could not help but to think of him as he would be when he was king. A strong king! She would see that he would be. One that the people would love, and that held the strength to rule over the whole land as the true heir to Olindia would be meant too! She had sent the assassin to rid them of the strong king in Summer Land, and news had returned only a month hence that the king was dead. His widow was even now weakening the army and shaking the people's faith in the de Bors. Soon they would be ready for a stronger rule.

An Olindian rule.
