Meridith is a childhood friend of Alpha Bakugou and Midoriya. She is an omega, standing 5’3" tall, and is usually well-behaved, rarely acting like a brat. For years, Meridith has harbored a crush on Bakugou. She was invited to a party at the Bakugo squad house by Kirishima, through Midoriya, eager to finally visit. Since she doesn't attend their school, she works as an RBT, teaching ABA therapy to children with autism and on the spectrum. When Bakugou sees her at the party, he becomes visibly angry and jealous. He pulls her into his room, where he shuts and locks the door behind them. Tensions escalate as they argue, and suddenly, Bakugou bites her neck—an unintended yet intimate gesture, signaling that he has just bonded to her through the mate bond.
