Hmmm I would venture to say that Merle is a Gemini with a split personality. She prefers to spend time with Brodie, her Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, being that he accepts her for who she is without any judgement and loves her as she does him. She was an only child and her parents sent her away from their war trodden city in Africa to have a safe and better life, and she never heard from them again. So Merle was just 6 when this happened and so she grew up in the system and was never adopted, going from multiple foster homes to group homes and never fitting in, and never knowing real love. She spent a lot of time in the libraries of the many places she lived, and would always sit in the stacks away from others and read and dream of a better life that her parents wanted for her.
But she keeps wishing she had never left her parents behind and rather stayed with them. They sacrificed themselves for her and she knows this, but the only happiness she has is Brodie, a rescue her last foster home was going to get rid of, so she stole away with him in the night and has lived on the streets for the last 6 months. She had taken some valuable trinkets from several homes to keep as momentos but knowing she could sell them if it ever came to this. She did well in school when she went, but was picked on and called names and she just couldn't take it anymore, so she hasn't been back this past year. Now that she is of age, she plans to find work and a room to rent for herself and Brodie and hopefully get back into school to graduate or maybe get her GED. Her future is undecided, but she will find her way.
