[edit] Backstory
Myss Terrie was born just before World War II in a little English village, the only child of an English father and a Swiss mother, both of them devout Quakers. During the war she and her mother went to live with family in Switzerland, and were thus spared the worst dangers of the Battle of Britain.
Once the war was over she and her mother returned to England where they rejoined her father. Myss Terrie went to a proper all girls school in Salisbury, then moved to the United States in the latter 1950s where she settled in Maryland, not far from DC.
She taught history and English in a Quaker school for many years, becoming an accomplished teacher, writer and respected community leader. She has never married and has no children.
An independent, free-thinker Myss Terrie is also an accomplished amateur naturalist whose area of expertise is predators of all species and sizes. Upon retiring from teaching she pursued her study of predatory animals in Africa, the Amazon, and in the remaining wilderness areas of North America. Noting that "even the mouse is a predator from the insect's point of view" she has analyzed the complex structure of the food chain, the variations between pack and solitary hunters, and the behavior of the prey, especially when it concerns protecting their young. As a naturalist, Myss Terrie is open-minded on the subject of predators and is interested in furthering her knowledge with a study of the Bahro.
Another of Myss Terrie's passions is for archaeology. When she first learned of the restoration efforts of a lost civilization beneath the New Mexico desert she immediately headed west. She had no sooner arrived in the Cavern than she founded a neighborhood based around the formative influences in her life: Swiss neutrality, a desire to help others by teaching, and a Quaker sense of community responsibility.
