Meredith Colt

I will be the next Merlin

Red hair, green eyes and 5'7 feet of sheer charm. Add a cocky smile to complete the picture and what you'll get is a blazingly confident woman who knows what she wants and what she's capable of, as well as she ought to at thirty years of age. She's had a lot of men make passes at her, which she tends to either laugh off or retaliate with brutal wit. Her hands are nowhere near as fair as her face though, being as work roughened as any other denizen of Camelot. Though certainly not great mitts like the old Merlin's, they're strong enough to handle a hammer and all other manner of tools. For that matter, do not underestimate her in an arm wrestle.

Snarky, lively, quick to anger, quick to forgive and quick to forget, Meredith is one of the guys as far as her fellow Gunsmiths are concerned. To her customers, the ever serious Gunslingers, she is as light-hearted as she dares to be, and she can be quite daring when it comes to berating them for the most minor of defects in their weapons during maintenance checks, but she's not stupid and knows where to draw the line. At least, she thinks so. To anyone else, she is absolutely fearless and doles out witticisms like nobody's business, though she is perhaps not as wise as she is clever. At times, Meredith can prove to be quite fallible, but above all else is her pride in her family name which means a lot to her. Insult that and she won't be so quick to forgive, quick to forget.

From an early age, Meredith had been trained to live up to her family name. She was a quick study and proud of her family's history as Gunsmiths, though she had often entertained notions of becoming a Gunslinger instead. Meredith stuck to the path laid out for her however and soon became a Gunsmith in her own right. There almost seemed to be no need to go through apprenticeship, as her natural talent combined with extensive training and education saw her to making her own guns in very little time. Eventually, she became one of the Merlin's personal assistants and perhaps a candidate for succession. Nothing could bring more glory to her family than to become the Merlin, as her great ancestor and creator of the Caliburn Guns, Samantha Colt, had done.
