The Meek is a fantasy webcomic written and drawn by Der-Shing Helmer. The Meek takes place in a fantasy universe and focuses on the protagonist Angora, a young girl with a magical ability to control plants. She is trying to reach a place she calls "the center".[2] However, The Meek follows multiple narratives with several different characters from across the world. Each chapter exclusively follows one of these separate narratives. The plot concerns a war that is brewing between several of the world's ethnic clans, notably the Carissi and the Pasori people.[3]
