I am reading the book Wild Born, and I think that one of the main characters, Meilin, is very brave and determined. I think this because she is determined to train to fight the Devourers who attacked Zhong, shown in the book. A reason for this is that she had said in the book when the attack took place, “Father, I don’t want to go!” “Please let me defend our home!”
I realized this shows that she would do anything to save her home, and she is determined, brave, and willing enough to try and fight for Zhong. She is strong and a good fighter, but she obeyed her father, and was forced by Greencloaks to leave Zhong because she is the general’s daughter, and she summoned one of the fallen four great spirit animals.
Soon enough she realizes it is a good cause that she went with the Greencloaks to Sunset tower to train, which the purpose for this was so that she is ready to fight for Erdas.
Another reason she is determined to train and fight for Erdas and Zhong is that while some of the other chosen ones of the four were complaining and not being serious about having to train, she said in the text, “This is a poor hour for humor.” “Zhong is under heavy attack. The Greencloaks smuggled me away as my father fought to defend our city.” And much more continents were under attack, and she was serious and determined about training while the others weren’t.
Another reason why she is very determined about training to get ready to fight is that she also said, “Look. Every minute we are stuck here in training is another minute my father and his army have to struggle without us.” She is also very serious about training with her spirit animal panda, Jhi, though Jhi isn’t serious.
This shows she is very determined and cares a lot. She is also very brave because she is willing to do anything for her father and Zhong, and all of Erdas.
