Appearance & Personality
- Appearance:
In general, Meri is short and mousy, and prefers to wear more conservative clothing most of the time. She's also almost never seen without a pair of gloves on, hiding most of the scars on her hands that she's accumulated from years of practicing knifework, sewing, and countless papercuts. She has a great many other scars as well, and does her best to keep them hidden beneath her clothes. Originally, she was incredibly self-conscious of them, however events have recently broken her of that self-consciousness, and now she does it almost entirely out of habit.
- Personality:
Meri could described quite simply as a cowardly lion(ness). She's timid and reserved most of the time, but when she's with people she trusts, is drunk, offended, or forced into a situation where her timid nature might put the lives of those she cares about at risk, she doesn't hesitate to bear her teeth and throw her weight around, revealing a fierce, fiery temperament that makes no attempt to hide her salty Lominsan upbringing. That said, the fire is always there, even when she's being timid, she usually just keeps a handle on it.
Major Traits and Flaws
- Major Traits:
- Unquenchable Thirst for Knowledge:
- Fiercely Loyal:
- ':
- ':
- Major Flaws:
- Flight or Fight: Meri's skittish by nature. She's not a fighter. While she'll stubbornly bear her teeth for the sake of her loved ones, if she feels cornered or threatened outside of that sort of situation, she'll generally opt to escape the situation. Usually by bolting.
- Tunnel-vision: Once something really grabs Meri's attention, she tends to lose sight of just about everything else, often causing her a great deal of grief later on. This includes forgetting to eat or sleep
- Immovably Stubborn:
- ':
Unique Abilities
- The Echo: Meri's Echo manifested itself a couple of months before her twenty-third year and has been an increasingly common source of her headaches ever since. She's met no one else she knows to possess the Echo with whom she can talk about it, and has thus been forced to learn what she can based on hearsay and rumor. This is complicated by the fact that, rather than possessing an ear that ignores language barriers, Meri's Echo allows her to understand that which she reads, be it written word, body language, or patterns in the aether.
- Aethersight: Whether a sideeffect of her Echo, or an innate ability, Meri doesn't know. Until very recently, it was suppressed to the point that she wasn't even consciously aware of it, however that has changed, and now she struggles to make sense of the chaos of colors and patterns that she perceives aether as. Her normal vision is still present, and as awfully nearsighted as ever, however she has a great deal of trouble making sense of both at once, and can't exactly turn either 'off'.
- Tea Brewing: Her tea brewing talents are skillful enough to warrant a note in this section. To her, tea is something sacred, that one must devote their entire focus to when brewing. She's practiced in brewing tea for both simple culinary reasons, and as a form of herbal medicine, and is prone to carrying around teabags she's assembled herself to hand out to people.
Combat Skills and Style
While Meri isn't exactly the most well suited to physical combat, preferring to rely on her magic, she's not helpless when cornered. She was raised and trained by a grizzled old former-pirate who hammered knife-fighting into Meri's daily routine from the time she was eight or nine. As an adult, given Meri's increasingly extensive repertoire of medical techniques and knowledge, she can be dangerously efficient with her knifework if the need arises, and never goes anywhere without a knife or two on her person, just in case.
Rumors may be greatly exaggerated or flat out untrue. Please feel free to add your own rumors under the PC section! ◢ Common Rumors (Easily overheard)
◢ Moderate Rumors (Moderately difficult to overhear)
