Born near the bottom of the Greyback pack, Merida Greyback was a pretty spunky child. Ever a tomboy, and felt aggrieved that she would never be a werewolf like the boys. The family were close and affectionate, even if the age gap between herself and the elder siblings is rather large, even if there were plenty of steps between her and the others.

Her first display of magic was at 3 years old when she burned off Murdock’s moustache - the first he’d managed to grow. No one said it but she did him a favour. She was raised in a large crowded nursery full of siblings, cousins and extended cousins, and so the transition to school and dormitories did not come as a surprise.

She was sorted into Gryffindor, however, she did well academically, determined to be of use to her family. She began studying for her animagus transformation. She took a full academic course load into NEWTs.

When she finished her NEWTs, she went to work at the hospital, as a trainee healer, and then 2 years as a junior healer in the creature induced injuries department, and has just been made full healer, beginning her first year as a healer. It took another year after her Hogwarts graduation to get her animagus transformation and she was allowed to spend the the moons at the reach rather than be dispatched to London with the other ‘children’ and those she viewed as ‘lesser’ women, the ones incapable of mastering the transformation.

She now returns to The Reach each month, as far as her schedule allows, to spend time with the rest of the family and is responsible for the administering of first aid after the transformation.
