Armed with alluring curves and an infectious smile Medowbrook can, and often does, make the best of a bad situation and takes great pride in her ability as peacemaker.</p><p></p><p>Meadowbrook, the constant performer, always wears clothes based more upon her love for dancing and performing than practicability. Her favorites are lose fitting dress that accentuates some curves while completely ignoring others, at least until she is in the act of dancing as then they are designed to flow and accent all of her graceful and wonderful curves.</p><p></p><p><strong>Background and Personality:</strong> </p><p></p><p>Meadowbrook was born of out passion and love in the purest of forms between Jaeden, a handsome wandering minstrel, and Autumnleaves, a full blooded nymph and lover of music, nature, and men. Unfortunately, Autumnleaves was no different from other nymphs, nymphs are notions fickle in their love, and with the passage of time she found Jaeden less and less interesting and her love for him less and less passionate. Jaeden, always a ladies man new his time with the lovely nymph was at an end and he made plans to move on but before he did it happened.</p><p></p><p>Jaeden had no idea that Autumnleaves had become pregnant, nymphs do not show in the ways humans do, and if the nymph had known she never talked about it, which wasn’t the nymph way so Jaeden always assumed that she did, but pregnant she was and she gave birth to a child. The young couple was once again bonded in love and together they named the child Meadowbrook and together they began to raise her.</p><p></p><p>Things progressed well for awhile, Meadowbrook grew strong, the young couple rekindled their passion, but things never last when you deal with a nymph and soon Autumnleaves was all but ignoring Jaeden in favor of a new love. Though it saddened and bothered Jaeden greatly he understood it was something Autumnleaves couldn’t help and he was actually quite pleased for the near two years he had spent with her as it was quite unheard of, but he continued to stay close as he truly loved his daughter and it was this love that would change his life forever.</p><p></p><p>Autumnleaves wasn’t uncaring about the safety of Meadowbrook but she wasn’t a very protective parent, she would often leave their child next to the edge of the water as she would frolic with in the cool confines and forget about her daughter or she would leave her in a nest of leaves and wander into the forest leaving the young baby exposed to the elements and the passage of wild animals, and soon it was too much for Jaeden to handle and he took the young baby and headed for the civilizations of man.</p><p></p><p>Though Jaeden was use to traveling alot by himself he quickly discovered that a young hungry mouth and a fragile body wasn’t something one could truly travel with. He loved the travel, seeing some place new, returning to and old favorite town and seeing how it changed, was much more fun that seeing the same sights everyday but lovingly gave it up as his daughter, Meadowbrook, had tamed his wild oats like no other woman ever could.</p><p></p><p>Arriving in Waterdeep, for Jaeden had chosen it for many reason, it was close, fairly safe, but mostly he chose Waterdeep for the various choices it gave him in regards to raising Meadowbrook, he would see that she would go to the best schools the city had but first he needed to find her the nourishment her body needed. His inquiry about wet nurses brought women of all walks of life, poor to the well to do, clean to the disgustingly filthy, rail thin to the very obese, and in the end there was only one Jaeden would consider.</p><p></p><p>Katrina, though not of ample breast, in fact Katrina was quite thin which had contributed much to do with the loss of her own child, which had also left Katrina frail, would be Jaeden’s choice as he liked much of what Katrina had to offer as a person but mostly he liked how genuine and compassionate Katrina smiled upon Meadowbrook as she clung and suckled from her breast. Though Jaeden would pay Katrina for the milk he would never have to pay for her company.</p><p></p><p>Katrina was, or depending upon point of a view had been, a noble woman of some stature but not excessively so till her body had rejected her own child and it was determined that her body would never recover enough to have a child. In fact it was determined that another effort would probably leave not just the child dead but her too. With this knowledge and the need for a heir her husband had quickly rejected her, she would still be considered family, never be allowed to marry again, she was still treated as a wife but her function inside the home, and certainly in the bedroom, was over. A new woman, more fertile and full of bust, replaced her and this new noble woman decided that Katrina should move out into her own house, fully paid for of course, and this action very much freed Katrina to be like a mother to Meadowbrook and like a husband to Jaeden.</p><p></p><p>Meadowbrook was raised knowing that Katrina wasn’t her true mother but this didn’t effect their loving relationship at all and when Meadowbrook begin showing signs of high intelligence, she was learning her father’s professions at a rapid rate, at the young age of five it was Katrina that used her noble connections, not to mention her noble coins, to get Meadowbrook into one of the best schools in all of Waterdeep.</p><p></p><p>Meadowbrook excelled at school just as she had excelled at the musical skills her father had taught her but with the coming of puberty and womanhood it was then that people began to notice her as smart as she was it didn’t compare to her beauty. Having always been a beautiful child Meadowbrook paid no great interest in this transformation, she would have rather read and studied some dusty old tome or preformed with her father but many suitors would come strive for her attention but they did little to capture her attention other than to show her another field of study, love and the acts there of… This has caused her spend a great deal of time in the temples of Sune and Sharess were her passionate nymph heritage enjoys watching the various acts and learning more about the two religions from their worshippers. </p><p></p><p>Meadowbrook herself prefers the more hands off approach, to give in to her mother’s passion would only contaminate her studies though Meadowbrook does secretly wish to find the perfect suitor to put all of her research into action but she is afraid that her mother’s passion, which does flow through her, will be too much for her to contain and she will be little better than her mother… She does love her mother, and she wishes to meet her but she knows the damage that her mother did to her father’s heart and she has no desire to repeat it on some unexpecting soul.</p><p></p><p><img src="http://home.earthlink.net/~shatterstone/images/Meadowbrook.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
