She was never adopted by the Porters.
Meredith had a rocky childhood, through and through. Her mother tried her best, but there was only so much that a mother as young as hers could do. After her mother was kicked out of her home, she moved herself and Meredith to Brooklyn, New York. They stayed with family until Meredith was two, and then they moved in with another young mother and her daughter, Winifred.
The four of them lived together throughout most of the girls elementary school years, and they grew up feeling like siblings. Meredith’s mother had gotten her GED and completed a Polysomnography program at Kingsborough Community College. It worked out well for many years, until both mothers were stable enough to live apart from one another.
By the time Meredith got into high school, her mother nearly smothered her. Brynne was terrified of Meredith making the same mistakes as she had, and pushed Meredith to join multiple extracurriculars, advanced level classes, and other soul sucking things she had no desire to do.
Instead, she spent time with the slacker crowd at her high school. Between her mother, her aunt, Freddie, and her friends, Meredith didn’t feel like she had to aspire to be more than anything, and was content to coast to where life would lead her.
Unfortunately, she didn’t coast to college applications or a breakthrough talent. Within one week, the world was being destroyed by a virus known as Shanti. All around her, the little support network she had built up slowly died off until it was just her and her mother.
After the worst of the outbreak had passed over, the Horowitz’s were forced into Quarantine, where eventually her mother passed. The rumor was that Fortis was the one responsible for the outbreak, and after Meredith had come to that conclusion herself, she forcibly removed herself from all medical trials.
She’s not sure who to trust, or what to think. The only things she does know that it’s her and her roommate, Judi Sadim, and maybe a few friends from Quarantine.
