Basic Info
Physical Appearance: Mercy is small for her race, short and slight of build, but slim and lithe, built like a dancer and often mistaken for one when she moves, gliding fluidly from one motion to the next no matter what she's doing.
Aside from her stature, Mercy is very ordinary. Her skin is faintly tanned from lots of time in the sun, though her hair is snow-white and highlighted with purple. Her eyes are her most striking feature, as she is heterochromic; her left eye is blue and the right green, and are always seen behind the glasses that she wears at all times to combat nearsightedness.

Positive Personality Traits: Mercy has a natural overabundance of positive energy and good cheer. She is almost always happy, eager to help and quite intelligent, despite her sometimes flighty behaviour.
Negative Personality Traits: She can be a little too trusting at times, a trait which has been used against her on a few occasions. Although she is slow to anger, when her temper does flare she can be quite destructive, both to whoever wronged her and anything nearby
Misc. Quirks: If she's not asleep, she's almost always in motion, pacing or fidgeting or at least doing something with her hands, as though she's utterly incapable of remaining still for any length of time.
History: Two years ago, a young Miqo'te, barely an adult, woke up in the back of a caravan bound for Gridania, curled up among the boxes with no memory of how she had come to be there. No one on the caravan recognized the girl, and the caravan masters thought her a stowaway and tried to have her arrested.
That didn't end well for the guards. She fought back on instinct and escaped, fleeing into the city and eventually coming upon the Roost. In exchange for lodging, she offered to help out around the inn. When the proprietor asked her name, she had none to give, and so she chose one on the spot. She called herself Mercy, because she thought it sounded inspiring, and Peregrine, because it means "having a tendency to wander", which she thought fitting for a lost amnesiac." She celebrates that day as her Nameday.
She came upon the Lancer's Guild entirely by accident one day while she was on an errand for her employer, and watched the trainees for hours, mimicking their movements with a stick she picked up on the side of the road. The Guildmaster recognized her talent and invited her to formally train with them. As her training progressed, she branched out and embraced the life of an Adventurer and all of the thrills and excitement that come with it.
