Description

Merrill Myron- Dryad Knight - Merrill came from somewhere nobody really knows. Any attempts to ask specifics on it are just told that she came from a place "a lot less exciting than here." The story people do know is that she lived a sheltered life and did not get out a lot for years. But one day she decided to see the world and embarked on a grand adventure to "see all that you can see." She loaded up an enormous backpack and wandered from place to place, excitedly writing the day's events on a large scroll she keeps. Where she was before she ran into the order is unknown, but she seems to have an endless supply of stories of those places. For years she traveled the countryside and other exotic locales, until she bumped into members from the Wrong Table, which was when she was gleefully watching them fight a team of bandits from a rather unsafe distance. After the battle was won, she asked them many questions about them, the order, their life and how it felt to stab someone who was trying to stab you back. When they filled her in on the order's history and cause, she excitedly asked if she could join. Taken back to headquarters, she became an official knight and joined their ranks. With that, she couldn't wait to tell her friends back home how she became a "knight," worked with "strange locals" and went on dangerous missions. Despite her talk about home, she has never really said when she plans on going back. But with her interest in the order and the love of missions, many assume that it will be a while.

Attitude - Merrill is a being who seems to enjoy everything. Any place, person, thing, food, wound or smell is an exciting experience to her which she wants to document. Even during missions, she can be found writing in her journals or sketching on a scroll. She also collects a large amount of things, like plants, critters and materials as pieces of interest. No matter how dangerous things get, or how terrible it is, she seems to think of it all as an experience. Even when her life is in danger, or something terrible befalls her, she just says "it builds character." She is always optimistic and believes that everything will come out fine in the end. On trips or journeys, she is always humming a tune as she walks along. As a longtime traveler, she is extremely resourceful, always seeming to find ways to substitute , scrounge and scavenge things they need. With her traveling to all sorts of different lands and cultures, she has picked up various techniques and methods that she can use. Her interest in all things also helps when it comes to cultural problems or when questions arise over the biology and ecology of certain creatures. She loves teaching others the customs and practices she has encountered, even when they seem extremely bizarre.
Relations - As an overly optimistic and easily excited person, her relations with everyone are pretty good. Her tendency to find everything interesting makes her a great listener and always eager to lend a hand, though sometimes it can get annoying. Her and Alex hold some type of natural connection, which allows them to converse for hours over nature and things beyond everyone else's understanding. She holds a great fascination for Osryx and Cobalus, as the two of them have come from places she has not been to before. This causes her to ask them often for tales from their lands, so that she can learn more about it. Telnus is constantly annoyed with her optimistic attitude and is constantly calling her a tourist or making fun of her interests in things. Despite that, Telnus doesn't actually hate her, he just treats her just like how he treats everyone else. Alvea likes her, but is always confused on how a being can just wander around their whole life and not have a home or colony. One of her closest friends is Sridah, whom she hangs out with quite often. Most of the time, the two enjoy art and story swapping. But outside of that, Merrill is an anchor to Sridah, always being there for her when she has an episode or when she is scared. She is the one who calms Sridah down during her panic attacks or night terrors. Another close relationship is with Korgin, her partner during missions.
Partner - Fairy Knight - Merrill and Korgin almost seem to be made for each other. Both have a great interest in adventures and quests, and love exploring the world. Korgin's interest in games and adventure match well with Merrill's love of learning new things and traveling. The two can talk for hours about adventures, tales and quests. It also helps that the two of them are extreme hoarders, with her collecting souvenirs and him gathered upgrade materials. This desire for adventure and upbeat attitudes have the two of them happy to take long-distance missions, or even dangerous ones. Though a lover of exciting new things, Merrill acts as Korgin's leash, having enough common sense to keep him from doing REALLY crazy things. Her experience with travel also makes her the navigator of the group, as Korgin doesn't really have much knowledge of orientation in the outside world. She is also the better fighter of the two, having large amounts of training over the course of her travels. While Korgin fights with wild swings and charges, she attacks with precise strikes and trained blows. She is often confused by Korgin's behavior, as he treats everything like a game and often calls himself by a completely different name.
Abilities - Being a dryad, she has all the abilities of a plant. She does not need to eat, as the sun provides, but she can still consume food, which she does to "get the full experience." With a body of plant material, she can take more damage then others and regrow over her wounds. She has the ability to get plants to move and grow, allowing her to use vines to create ladders and ropes, or get plants to impede the progress of attackers. This ability is very basic, and is not a form of plant control. When she describes it, it is more like she is asking the plants to help her, rather then telling them what to do. And the plants can actually choose not to help, making this ability a little less reliable at times.
Tools - Her greatest tool is a giant backpack that she always lugs around with her. The backpack contains a variety of items, mainly things she uses for collecting souvenirs and stuff. Presses for plants, jars for critters, scrolls for writing, ink and quills. Among the collection stuff is survival tools that she has used during her travels. Always within her back is a sleeping roll, a two person tent, hatchet, fire starter, whistle and a good amount of rope. The pack is rather heavy, but she seems to have no problem moving around with it on, able to keep pace with the others without slowing down. The backpack is occasional used as a rudimentary shield or can be slung around to knock attackers off their feet. Her primary weapon is a katana that she acquired during her travels. She wields this weapon with amazing skill, as she was taught by the person who gave it to her. When using this blade, she is one of the order's best fighters, able to stand against experienced foes and take down large fighters with precise movements and strikes. Her skills with the katana has even allowed her to duel General Nekrosis, who often targets her during battles so that he can face her one on one and finally beat her.
Weaknesses - As a plant, fire is her greatest weakness. Any form of it can light her body on fire and kill her. She is also bad with the cold, making her body turn brown in color and sapping her energy. Saltwater is also very uncomfortable to her, so swimming in the ocean is a no. She is fine with traveling overseas, but the experience is not pleasant. Depending on environments and ecosystems, she may occasionally pick up a sickness or plant-based disease, with the effects varying. She has ways to remedy these illnesses, but it can sap her strength or slow her down.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope that I conveyed her attitude right, because she is not ditzy or some bubblehead. She is just really optimistic and happy about things, all while having a good knowledge of things and being a really good fighter.

Also changed her weapon to a katana. I figured she would have some exotic weapon compared to the basic broadswords and axes. Yeah, real original, but I just liked the idea.
