Merida + Moire



After a fight with her mother, Merida ran off into the forest, needing some time to herself. However, she was distracted by the sight of glowing blue lights – which she recognized as willow-the-wisps, creatures she’d heard about in legend. Her curiosity got the better of her, and despite the obvious warnings of her horse – you really should listen to animals more when it comes to mystical stuff – Merida followed the blue lights to an old abandoned archway, where she caught a glimpse of a girl who looked a lot like her. However, before she could react, Merida was sucked in by a blue light, and found herself – much to her annoyance – in a lake. However, she also found a girl who looked a lot like her, who called herself Moire.

Personalities
Merida is very much like she is in the film Brave. She’s spunky, goofy, rebellious, and free-willed. She also has one heck of a temper, and is very stubborn. She’s extremely confused by this whole “other dimension” thing, but is more curious than frightened. She isn’t very keen on going home right away, and wants to see what interesting things this “other dimension” has.

Moire is different from Merida in that she’s far more serious. She still has moments of dry sarcasm and does have a sense of humor, but she doesn’t use it as much. She’s got a very no-nonsense kind of attitude, and is easily annoyed. One character trait Moire shares with Merida, however, is her explosive temper.

Towards Each Other
Merida isn’t quite sure how to feel about Moire. She’s still a little freaked out by the whole “I’m you” thing, and she can’t quite wrap her head around it. Moire kind of intimidates her, but she’s too prideful to let it show, so retaliates by being sassy and smart-alecky.

Moire, on the other hand, is very sure about her feelings for Merida. She want’s nothing to do with the girl, and sees her as a nuisance – or scunner, in Scottish terms. She’s seen other people dragging their Mirrorselves around, and doesn’t want to have to babysit one of her own.

Backstories
Merida’s history is the same as it is in Brave. She’s the princess of a Scottish clan, with a mother, father, and triplet brothers. She was always very rebellious, and very restless, often disagreeing with her mother about her actions. And, like in Brave, Merida’s fight with her mother derived from her mother pressuring her into an arranged marriage. This, also, is why Merida is in no hurry to get home.

Moire’s past is still very much a mystery. All we know at the moment is that she was camping out in the woods when she found Merida.
