FULL APPEARANCE:
Merridell is a pretty thing to look at. She's of middling height with curves in all the right places; sports strong legs and has managed to make it to her mid twenties without scar or blemish (not through any concerted effort mind you, simply good fortune). Her hair is a unruly, curly, and a brilliant blonde that reaches down to her waist. While she attempts to tame it, she usually hinges just on the near side of presentable. Her blue eyes are bright and expressive and usually filled with mirth.
She enjoys dresses but often wears leggings underneath them simply due to not wanting to flash anyone while in the middle of chores. Occasionally she'll wear ties or ribbons in her attempts to control her hair - such as for highly sensitive situations where it getting in the way could result in someone getting hurt.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Merridell (or Merri, or Dell) is a strange one to read at times. She presents herself as an outgoing individual ready to joke and laugh with the rest of the gang. She throws herself into work or any task that needs to be done without complaint (at least during the process, though she might whine about her aches later). Her absolute favorite chore is cooking, and she'll volunteer for mess duty at any chance she can, even if she only ends up cutting vegetables or cleaning.
However, Merridell doesn't trust her own judgment when it comes to people. While she craves companionship and is actually incredibly lonely, she's very leery about getting close to people in a one-on-one manner. She's been burned a lot, and doesn't think she knows how to identify a good person from a bad one anymore.
HISTORY
FAMILY: The Creche (High Reaches)
SIGNIFICANT OTHER:
BIRTHPLACE: High Reaches Weyr
HISTORY: TW: Mention of Relationship Abuse
Merridell grew up in the Creche at High Reaches Weyr and was a happy child, always running around as a part of the major crowds. She didn't get into any particularly large sources of trouble, and didn't stand out a great deal either, other than her bright blonde hair. She never knew what dragonriders were her parents, but she never particularly stressed out about it, well satisfied with the extended family she had instead.
The amorous sort, as a young teen she fell in and out of love quickly, but none of her breakups were particularly catastrophic. When the opportunity arose, she became a candidate for High Reaches, hoping both to focus herself more and perhaps provide a life path. So she stood. And stood. And stood, and stood, and stood.
Overlooked again and again, Merridell's self esteem took a series of steady hits, and she began falling into more and more questionable relationships in an attempt to find some worth in herself. Some of them turned abusive, and while she was quick to exit them, she found herself believing she deserved such treatments. It wasn't until very recently when she found herself wondering if her boyfriend was responsible for the arrival of a mysterious pair of eggs at High Reaches that she realized it might be the environment that was wrong, not her.
After much consideration, she begged a dragonrider to take her to Semaca, where at least she'd have another six turns to find a partner of some sort before really needing to re-analyze her life..
