===Life on the Homestead===
Instead of choosing the traditional alternatives of convents or brothels for a woman, she chose to live a life in the wild. By doing so, she eventually severed all ties to her immediate kin, and lost the whereabouts of her family.
Following the discovery of the Davenport Homestead's rich lands and abundant wildlife, Myriam went to request permission to hunt there, but was confronted by a group of poachers. She attempted to sway them into hunting legally, but was unsuccessful and they attacked her.
 
===Moving to the Homestead===
Following the discovery of the Davenport Homestead's rich lands and abundant wildlife, Myriam went to request permission to hunt there from its owner, but en route, Myriam was confronted by a group of poachers. She attempted to sway them into her train of thought, but she was unsuccessful and they attacked her. During this attack, she was shot in the arm with a lead bullet.
 
The [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Ratonhnhaké:ton|Connor]] later found the injured Myriam and invited her to stay at the Homestead to recuperate, where [[Achilles Davenport]] tended to her wound. Upon Connor's departure to find the poachers, she urged him to search near her hunting blind, where he later found three of them. Killing the trio, he proceeded to overhear two more, who discussed [[William Johnson]] and his purchase of the land owned by the [[Kanien'kehá:ka]] tribe.


After dealing with them, Connor advanced on the final poacher, who he took captive. Threateningly, the Assassin eventually released him with the order of informing his companions of the happenings on the Homestead. On recovering from her injury, Myriam began to sell her surplus kills to the people of the Homestead, and began trading her furs around Colonial America. She then set up her camp in the northwestern part of the Homestead, where she hunted, skinned, and roasted her kills.

The [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]], commonly known as Connor, later found the injured Myriam and brought her to stay at the Homestead manor, where [[Achilles Davenport]] tended to her wounds. While Myriam recovered, Connor killed the poachers.


===Trophy hunting===
After recovering from the attack, Myriam began to sell her surplus kills to the Homestead residents, and began trading her furs around the [[United States]]. She then set up her camp in the northwestern part of the Homestead, where she hunted, skinned, and roasted her kills.
After two of her snares were snapped by a prowling white cougar, she requested the aid of Connor, who assisted her in tracking it. She believed its albino fur to be worth a fortune, since it was a rare and unique beast. Connor, intrigued, decided to help. Upon discovering of the cougar, Connor gave chase, but was unable to catch up to it, and it subsequently bolted inside [[Maurice|Norris]]' mine.


Norris, who was dumping a load of rock at the time, informed them of its whereabouts. With the location in mind, Myriam devised a plan in which Connor would lure the cougar out, and she would take the shot. The plan succeeded, and Norris and Connor congratulated Myriam jovially. During this time, Myriam also began to suspect Norris' attraction to her.
Later, after two of her snares were snapped by a prowling white cougar, Myriam requested the aid of Connor, who assisted her in tracking it. After a length pursuit, Myriam eventually succeeded in killing the cougar.


===Surviving an ambush===
===Relationship with Norris===
After a failed attempt to gain her favor with wild flowers, Norris nervously awaited on the trail leading to Myriam's hunting cabin, attempting to persuade himself to move forward with his gift of a skinning knife. In response, Connor forced some confidence into him, and they moved forward together.
After a failed attempt to gain her favor with wild flowers, Norris decided to give Myriam a new knife, after discovering her current one broke. Later, Myriam got into another confrontation with a poacher, and used Norris' knife to fend off the poacher's attacks. After this, she recognized her feelings for Norris on a personal level.


Upon arriving, Myriam informed the pair that she had promised [[Ellen]] a bale of furs, and that she needed to move into the bush to continue her hunt. To this, Connor informed Myriam that he would help out, to which she agreed, thankful for his assistance. Before the pair set out however, Norris handed the knife over to Myriam, receiving a kiss on the cheek for his intentions. From there, Connor took down some wolves as part of Ellen's fur request, and then set out to meet Myriam at her northern-most hunting blind.
Over time, the relationship between the pair culminated to Myriam's eventual marriage to Norris, though Myriam began having second thoughts as the date approached. These nerves led to her fleeing from Connor as he came to check on her at the wedding day.


When the Assassin arrived, the huntress was not present, to which Connor found her immersed in a knife fight with the surviving poacher from before, who had returned with murderous intentions and had attempted to ambush her. However, Myriam had managed to keep the man at bay with her new knife, until Connor arrived and chased down the frightened poacher, who begged for mercy, but received none. As a result of the attack, and Norris' gift ensuring her safety, Myriam realized that she was attracted to him and proceeded on to a relationship with the miner.
After a lengthy chase and discussion with Myriam, Connor convinced her into her marriage with Norris. During the marriage ceremony, Father [[Timothy]] suggested Connor act in Myriam's father's place, which he accepted, giving her to Norris in marriage. Once the two were wed, the couple held a reception at [[Oliver]] and [[Corrine]]'s tavern.
 
===Marriage to Norris===
Over time, the relationship between the pair culminated to Myriam's eventual marriage to Norris, though when the date approached, she began having second thoughts. These nerves were so severe that she fled from Connor through the treetops as he came to check on her at the wedding day, with the Assassin close behind.
 
As Connor chased after her, she shouted that marrying Norris would mean sacrificing her way of life, and that she no longer wished to be wed. Connor replied that no-one expected her to change who she was, and managed to convince her to return when he caught up to her.
 
As Myriam was unaware of her father's whereabouts, Father [[Timothy]] suggested that Connor act in his place, which he accepted, giving her to Norris in marriage. From there, Connor attended the couple's reception at Oliver and Corrine's tavern, where all of the Homestead's residents celebrated.
