During college, and really during their whole life, Meddy did not feel comfortable in their skin. It wasn’t until their late 30s that they realized that the body image issues weren’t related to fitness, but rather to being assigned the wrong gender at birth. Meddy now identifies as Non-Binary and has felt more free to be themselves than ever.

The Meddygon is a both a person and a title in this world, and the collective consciousness transfers from generation to generation through them.

Schroe

Meddy used to go by the nickname Schroe, which was based upon their surname when younger. It was tied to an identity that Meddy no longer felt applied to them, so they dropped it. It’s not a deadname, it’s just tied to an insecure side of Meddy that isn’t around anymore.

Now Schroe is just a character that can be seen in old art and comics. Schroe ran a place called the Corkie Commune, which was a secret cabin in the woods that was bigger on the inside. When people needed to hide away, they found themselves on a path to the Corkie Commune, which had a room waiting for them to make their own.
