  Summary

  TLDR: Arthur Morgan fathers a daughter unknowingly in 1885. Her mother passes, she gets stuck on her own, and ends up meeting him while she's on her way to Saint Denis for the church of wayward children.
  She's a whole lot more like him than she ever thought herself to be.

  {They meet in chapter 4}

  She stood with the wanted poster she had hastily ripped off a light pole clutched tight in her hands. $5,000?... that name... her mother had said it how many a time?

  Arthur Morgan.

  Among other carefully decided words- outlaw, adventurer, cowboy, eccentric, an.. outdoorsman.

  Gunslinger.
