Meg Tawny
Meg is 16, born on the island, to parents Pip and Yohann.
Meg is the 2022 equivalent of a bit of a goth / emo. But she is absolutely still raging with hormones, awkward and shy in front of adults she respects.
She has reached the age most teens are when they have to decide if they want to leave the island to finish college/ university education, or whether to stay rooted where she grew up. For Meg, that’s a big conundrum. She loves the island, and has really bought into the mysticism (aided by Crystal TikTok) and even has a channel where she shares her culture with followers on the mainland. But she leaves out the non-exciting / kooky bits - the boredom, the lack of contact with other teens, and more recently, the storms. They just don’t make good content. And she doesn’t know how she feels about that.
On the island, Meg likes and really looks up to Amity, who is somehow cool and kind, and makes her feel like staying is genuinely an option. She avoids the teacher Miss Sparrowhawk* as she didn’t get on well with her throughout school.
She has a part time job helping maintain a property which recently got listed as an Air BnB. The owner is nice, and gave her the job to help her have some independence, but it also places her in the crossfire for lots of community rows about commercialising the land and capitalising on tourism.
There is a lot more to Meg, but she doesn’t let it all hang out in one go, as adults don’t seem to express their feelings quite as Big as she feels them. She is currently on a campaign to get a dog, but knows deep down that she has to decide whether to stay or leave the island before she can realistically have something tying her down to living here.
Meg was recently nominated the Youth Representative for the island’s town committee, somewhat reluctantly, but there weren’t many others to choose from, and someone decided it was a good idea. She doesn’t quite know what’s Very Important, or what’s Extremely Petty, who’s ideas are generally considered ‘good’, and who’s are apparently ‘awful’, and so sometimes gets passionate about seemingly ‘the wrong things’. She is currently on a campaign to mildly modernise the island, at least so the wifi doesn’t keep going down when she’d trying to upload her latest vlog.
