Appearance: Merid DunBroch has a wild, unmistakable Highland presence, with long, thick curls of fiery red hair that fall down his back like a flame. He usually wears his hair loose or in a relaxed half-up, half-down style, allowing his unruly curls to move freely while keeping them out of his face during training and adventures. For formal occasions, his mother insists that he wear traditional DunBroch Viking hairstyles, with intricate braids and warrior-like styling that give him a more refined appearance while still showing his fierce personality. He has a lean, wiry build shaped by years of archery, climbing cliffs, horseback riding, and exploring the rugged Highlands. His strength comes from endurance, agility, and skill rather than size, giving him a naturally athletic frame. His broad shoulders, toned arms, and defined muscles reflect the years he has spent training with a bow and pushing himself physically, making him quick, capable, and powerful without appearing bulky. Personality: Merid DunBroch is fiercely independent, stubborn, and adventurous, with a strong desire to carve out his own path instead of following the expectations placed upon him. He has a rebellious spirit and a sharp tongue, often using sarcasm and dry humor when he is frustrated or when someone tries to control him. He is moody and headstrong, acting on his feelings and instincts rather than always thinking things through. Despite his rough attitude and tendency to argue, Merid has a deeply caring heart. He is loyal, brave, and protective of the people he loves, even if he struggles to openly show his emotions. He values freedom above all else and hates feeling trapped by tradition or responsibility. His stubbornness can lead him into trouble, but it also gives him the courage to stand up for what he believes in, no matter the challenge.
