"Open your eyes. Open your ears, and think. Just take a deep breath, hold your head up and walk forward."

The Kind hearted Mercenary - Having started out with simple bounties on boards in taverns, Mervina quickly made a name for herself in both the bounty hunting and mercenary world. Willing to take almost any job available to her, be it monster slaying, guarding transports, bodyguard duty, bandit/miscreant repeling, scouting safe routes for traders, and even the more dangerous tasks and jobs from the grand companies themselves. Mervina will do what she can to see the job through and solve the problem with little to no incidents. Part of the name she's made for herself is that If she catches wind of those who need help but have no means to hire help from others or post bounties, she'll go out of her way to find and help those unable to pay for jobs, finding that the gratitude from them is worth more to her than any form of payment if it means helping those who can't help themselves, as she believes everyone should have the chance to feel safe and know that there are those who will help.

The Crimson Dark Knight - "Wrong place worst possible time" Having finished a job for a client and returning the the agreed on spot; she was met with a rather unpleasant sight of her client no longer being in the land of the living. Almost like clockwork guards showed up and being the only one there she was taken in and wrongly jailed. Trying and failing to appeal multiple times for her innocence; one day a guard told her that it was "her lucky day" and took her to be released, only to be met by a mysterious figure fully clad in armour that she didn't recognize. She was told said person vouched for her innocence took and it all came together and returned her wrongly stolen freedom, being met with whispers of doubt and looks of disgust as she left the building. Once out Mervina confronted the mysterious person, not only concerned about how they knew so much of her to give a story to prove her innocence, but also to thank them for saving her. Knowing that her view on the justice system would most likely have changed after this event, the figure offered to show Mervina the path of the Dark Knight, so that she may help right the wrongs, and take justice into her hands when others might look away, should the moment arise for her. Never knowing what the person looked like or being given a name, Mervina was only able to tell they were Male from their voice. However as she dawns her own full suit of crimson dyed armour; she is ever grateful to them for having not only saved, but showing her the path of the Dark Knight.

Acutely aware of the negative/un-welcomed stance taken towards those who follow the path of the Dark Knight. Mervina tends to keep that a closely guarded secret, which she knows she'll have to talk about or reveal one day... But hopes to keep that day as far off as she can for now. While still fresh in the abilities and path of the Dark Knight, she has yet to have a situation come up where more serious measures are required; she also tends to take her time with her practice to become more accustomed to a new set of resources. Granted magic that harnesses the power over darkness tends to take quite the toll on her if used too much...

When not out on jobs or travelling, Mervina resides in Gridania; more specifically the Lavender beds. Taking pride in her home although not really sure what to do decoration wise, she spends a fair bit of her down time there - Be it taking care of herself and relaxing, keeping her gear in check or keeping her body in shape and limber.

While experienced with a range of weapons from growing up on the Steppe - Mervina tends to favour those of the Great sword family. While the blades normally match her height or end up a little shy; she is quite proud of her abilities with the large weapons, even adding her own twist to the style; Always looking to test herself and improve when she can.

To keep herself safe out on the field or on jobs, Mervina owns a wide range of protective gear; all ranging in different styles and weights. While she prefers to wear lighter armour to allow for her full range of mobility she realizes and acknowledges that there are times when heavier and more protective sets are suggested or even required, granted with a fair bit of complaining about it along the way... Especially when it comes to getting her to wear helmets

Mervina while capable of thinking things through in most situations she has quite the reckless streak where she'll act first and think later... which has somehow worked out for her in most cases, but has also yielded quite unfavourable results at times.

To those that she calls friends or possibly more; Mervina is quite protective of them and will do what she can to be there for them if needed.

Aveline Bontensont - A friendly and equally clumsy Miqo'te that she met a club a few months ago. A star gazer and fortune teller who also used to be a field medic; The two quickly became friends as well as gotten into some unique situations together, mainly silly dares. Ave always finds a way to bring a smile to Merv's face.

Danica Voss - One of Ave's closest friends, and friend alongside Kingsley. Having recently had the chance for the two to actually chat a little over celebratory drinks, Danica's hit a little harder... Which lead to Mervina learning just how strong she is as a not only can she lift a certain Black Dragon's scale with extreme ease, but also as a single pat on her back nearly sent Mervina over a bar counter... After pulling herself off the counter and some more chatter, the two have agreed to spar together on occasion, both parties being excited at the opportunity.

Kingsley Soloman - A bouncer that she's befriended recently, and also a friend of Aveline's. While he is very duty driven being a Captain of the Flames, and a big player out on the southern front he still cares for his friends.. And also holds his own in fights extremely well, having sparred together already and even ending with her loss, she's more than happy knowing that she's gone against a Flame Captain and held her own.

Strawberry Sundae - A fellow Xaela she had met a few months prior. Since then the two have bonded and have become close friends; even recently learning they both hail from the Steppe. Mervina of the Kha, and Strawberry of the Ura. Both of them equally excited to have met another that calls the Steppe home, on top of already caring greatly for one another; The two are quite close to each other. Although their schedules might make timing tricky, the two seem to find a way to visit during the weekends. No matter the length of their visits, Mervina is always happy to see Strawberry, even if it's just for a short moment.

Ulluna Brucemont - While only having interacted a handful of times with one another, Mervina feels as if the two could get along well with just what she's heard from Ave; who just happens to be Ulluna's significant other. Both Mervina and Ullu hearing about one another from Ave's mentions leads her to believe that they'll get along well!
