Appearance: Meike has a thick, dark brown curly afro. Their eyes are a lighter shade of brown and they are 5'4" ft tall. They dress very casually, in a comfortable cotton tunic and brown leggings. Meike's outerwear of choice is a black and yellow honeycomb patterned poncho, also made by Anniken. It has few protective qualities in combat, but provides ample warmth and shelter from the cold and rain.
Personality: Inquisitive to a fault, hardworking, eager to please, and skittish at the idea of doing harm, even to dangerous monsters. They're also autistic, and enjoy routine and structure.
Origin: Transported across worlds after their train presumably crashes. They were headed towards a farm to volunteer; Meike was a botany major and just finished their Bachelor's degree.

- Simple leather bracers and gauntlets, made and reinforced by Anniken. In need of a proper upgrade.

Grimoire: A spellbook bound in brown leather. The cover depicts rabbits at play in a densely wooded area.

Familiars:
- Aleksei: A thornback bear cub, with blueish thorns that'll change with age.
- Saffron: A timid rabbit and Meike's first attempt at taming an animal.
- Vivica: A wolf Meike healed and has convinced to join the gang...for now. She's their main offense at the moment, as Alek is too young and Fiver is timid.
