She is in peak physical fitness for her height and build but this is due to her ability and not from any effort on her part.
Her skin is lightly tanned with a dusting of freckles on her arms and face gained from spending most of her time outdoors, her eyes are an unusual mix of green and gold and are an indication of her feline nature. Her hair is a mass of curly dirty blonde hair that she nearly always wears loose.

Power Description:Feline Physiology - Meredith has the attributes and traits of a feline, this gives her several abilities:
Enhanced Agility/Speed/Strength - Her physical capabilities are stronger than the average human and so she can move faster, lift more etc.
Enhanced Senses - Her senses are much sharper than the average human and she can see further, hear more etc.
Power WeaknessThough Meredith is physically powerful she has some significant drawbacks to her abilities:
Extremely fast metabolism - Meredith's body burns through calories to power what she does and she has to eat a hell of a lot more than most people. If she doesn't she begins feeling weak and dizzy and will eventually pass out.
Vulnerability to loud sounds/bright lights/extremely strong smells - Due to her senses being stronger Meredith can become overwhelmed if a bright light or loud sound happens close to her. She finds them painful and they can stun her or if powerful enough incapacitate her.
Feline behavior - Meredith does not just have feline abilities, she has also inherited some of their behaviors as well. The biggest one being aggression, when she is threatened or someone she cares about is threatened she becomes extremely aggressive and unreasonable. She stops caring about anything, including her own life, and is unable to think clearly until she has calmed down.
Weapon of ChoiceMeredith has always used her fists and feet and therefore has no experience with weapons.
Fighting SkillsMeredith has no formal training or fighting skills, her abilities make her naturally good in a fight but only to a point.
PersonalityMeredith is a confident young woman who is not afraid to speak her mind, in fact she generally struggles not to say what she's thinking and though this often gets her into trouble, she means well. Her philosophy is only ask the question if you want the answer, which sums up her blunt, straight to the point attitude perfectly. This makes her very open and easy to read,and manipulate.
She has a dry, sarcastic sense of humor and the more nervous or uncomfortable she is the more sarcastic she becomes. She is quite a fiery person with a temper that is quick to flare up and quick to die down and this can make her unpredictable, she feels strongly and no matter what she is feeling be it anger or happiness it is always passionate. She is also very proud and she is known for her inability to ask others for help even if its obvious she needs it.
She is very creative and views herself as somewhat of a free spirit, she loves nothing better than to sit outside somewhere and draw or paint what's around her. She is often caught up in her imagination and her artwork reflects this showing scenes from her thoughts and dreams. She often draws her favorite subject which is animals and likes to sit and watch them in their natural habitat and then draw what she has seen.
BiographyMeredith was born in Sector Eight and as such was around animals from the moment she could walk. She was raised by her father and a steady amount of canine and feline companions. Meredith's mother had died when she was a young child and as such her father raised her alone. She was an only child and so she and her father grew to be close. Not really knowing how to raise a girl he treated Meredith more like he would his son which suited her just fine. She had always been more of a tomboy wanting to be outside amongst nature and not stuck inside doing 'girly things' as she put it. Whenever she had spare time she and her father would go on hikes or sit and watch the stars on the roof of their house.
Her father owned a farm that did well enough to feed him and Meredith but it didn't leave a lot left over for luxuries or comfortable living. But they lived in a farming community which often helped each other out when times were hard. When Meredith began developing her abilities around puberty her father helped her to deal with them. He helped her learn how to handle the sudden increase in her senses, as well as the other physical changes. But over time her aggression and protectiveness began to become an issue as try as she might she couldn't get a handle on that part of her nature.
It eventually reached the point where school became impossible and so she stayed home and learned what she could there. When not learning she helped her father on the farm, she knew that her issues make things harder for him though he never said such, and so she did what she could to make up for it. When her agression became too much she would disappear for a few days and return much calmer, usually with a few dead animals that they then ate for dinner. She continued working on the farm even after she turned eighteen as she was happy and content with her life and didn't want to leave her father alone. He was getting older and his health was failing and so she was taking on more and more responsibilities on the farm.
By the time she turned twenty four she was running the farm herself, with help from a farmhand she had managed to hire. Her father had been forced to retire as his arthritis had become too much for him to manage the physical activities he was used to. The choosing ceremony is close now and secretly Meredith is terrified that she will be picked. Somehow luck has been with her and she has not been chosen before now but each time the ceremony is due she fears this will the time when she is picked. She worries for her father and how he will survive if she doesn't come home.
