Though less modest and more hasty in her reactions to snap at those who irritate her, Meriele is combative with any and all who dare try her patience in the slightest.

History: She was raised in a island tribe. Meriele liked to wander the woods near her home when she was young, something she still likes to do at least once a week.

She tends to her Servant job now, and dutifully fulfills any obligations she has.
