Megan "Meg" Abbott was the former leader of a rebellious sect of the Guilty Remnant, bringing them on a pilgrimage to Miracle National Park in Jarden. She was a soft-spoken and vague, but committed and nihilistic leader, and stopped at nothing for her cause.
Biography[]
The day before the Departure, Meg was having lunch with her mother on October 13th. Her mother died in the restaurant when Meg went to the restroom.
Now Meg is one of the leaders of The Guilty Remnant, and has radicalized the cult (there isn’t a real hierarchy system, though it seems that the GR somehow has reunions between the houses’ leaders to decide their next actions).
Meg feels completely suffocated and trapped. She just wants to escape. To do anything to feel something different than what she's feeling. In my mind, it's like going for a respite from strife. She goes to the Guilty Remnant to get away from her present scenario – in her head for a few days – to see what it feels like… and then other things happen.
