personality,
a thinker, a planner, a realist.

merry is down to earth and never gets her head in the clouds (unlike a certain fairy partner). her thirst for knowledge is always there. wherever she goes, she wants to learn about the people, about who built the buildings and what customs people have. being stifled in one area is not her idea of fun. merry does like to explore and get out, but she doesn't like "adventuring" like peregrin. her idea of adventure is seeing new places and staying out of trouble. combat is not her forte and she often runs and hides in the face of danger. merialyn is a sweet girl with a good, humble head on her shoulders. she makes it a point to be kind and courteous at all times, even if someone is being absolutely rude to her.

unlike peregrin, merialyn likes to keep things simple. she does not dress extravagantly, she does not like expensive foods and clothing. merry is fine with what she has and enjoys earning it the right way. her sense of morality is strong, and she does not believe in harming or stealing from others to get what you need. merialyn is a good-hearted individual, though she can be meek at times. she is not outspoken and generally keeps her dislikes to herself, out of fear of hurting someone's feelings.

appearance,
simple, youthful and casual, merry does not like to draw attention to herself. she likes dresses and skirts, but she will also wear pants and flowing blouses when she is out on an adventure. she sticks to wearing colors of the forest, like tans, browns, greens and creams. her hair is a light auburn. it is cut short and only reaches her chin. there are two tendrils that are left long, and they reach past her shoulders. her eyes are a bright green. just by looking at her, you can tell she is a kokiri. she lacks the height of an aged woman, and her body is willowy with very little curves.

weapons,
she sees no need for weapons.

items,
— goggles

these goggles are simply for fashion purposes. what's an explorer without goggles!?

— lantern

a very simple lantern, filled with oil so that she can light up the way in the dark. she also carries flint and matches to light it, as well as extra bottles filled with oil.

— peregrin

"pippin" as she likes to call him. he is a floating ball of green light, colored much the same as the text i have used throughout this profile. he is cheerful and is somewhat greedy, but he pushes merry to have fun whenever he can. they are polar opposites, which is why merry believes they belong together...

— tansy ( magical )

merry's riding companion, tansy the pony! she is the perfect height for her childlike frame. tansy has been with merry for her entire life. she is a special pony, and possesses the same immortality that the kokiri have, though it has not always been that way...

— bubble pipe

it really is as simple as the name. it is a wooden pipe that one can smoke bubbles from. it is not a tobacco pipe, and it belongs to pippin... but merry has been designated "pipe carrier" until pippin wants to use it.

abilities,
— skeletal form ( level iv )

she can freely switch between her skeletal form and humanoid form whenever she pleases.

— floral communication ( magical & passive )

this simple skill relates to plants and her ability to communicate with them. by doing so, she can find out many secrets that the landscape keeps. she can find hidden artifacts and treasures that the trees have seen hidden for many years. it comes to her naturally since she is a being of the forest.

history,
merialyn folly grew up in the sacred grove. the origin of kokiri is unknown, but legends have been passed down that an ancient tree spirit used to create the kokiri. that was the story she was told when she questioned the trees about her birth. the ancient deku tree was no longer around, and merry found that disheartening. she wanted to know everything about her past and the origin of the kokiri. that is how her wanderlust began.

the tradition of a fairy partner was still being passed down, so with the help of her own fairy, peregrin, the two embarked on an adventure, leaving the sacred grove for an indefinite amount of time. merry had no intentions of going back until her thirst for knowledge was quenched. she carried with her maps and papers explaining where she should go. she spent most of her life wandering in search of treasures and knowledge. her adventures carried her all around hyrule.

along the way, she made friends, lost some, and still regained more. there was still so much to learn. every day was a new experience, yet she still felt naive to the world. the trees were a great help with her quest. they'd direct her to secret groves that had long been forgotten. merry and pippin were enjoying life thoroughly.

there was one such treasure that merry stumbled upon that changed her life forever. it was buried deep in a cave, and at first, she was quite terrified to explore it. however, with pippin's encouragement, the two found the treasure; a plant that, when consumed, granted immortality. it was only a myth, but it was still a fantastic find for merry. she kept the plant safe and secure for many days... and it never rotted or wilted.

during her travels through hyrule field, a scared whinny made her stop. she and pippin rushed to the sound and found a poor pony on the brink of death. around it, terrible monsters and ravenous birds swooped in at the dying animal. it appeared to be caught in a trap, and merry was lucky to have found it before it perished. it was hard fighting off those monsters with little to no fighting experience, but she was able to do it with her skeletal form, as terrifying as it was to transform into. when the action had ceased, merry rushed to the pony's side and tried to tend to it's wound and free it from it's trap.

for hours, the pony showed no sign of recovery. she was weak, frail and tired. merry mourned for the creature... but she then remembered the plant she had tried so hard to recover. merry really had no need for it; she was already immortal. it was worth a shot!

merry crushed up a leaf, and put it's ointment on the pony's wound. she gave the pony the rest to eat. it was time to wait.

within a few hours, the pony had regained it's strength. within a few days, the pony was back up on her feet. merry couldn't have been happier. the two have been companions since.

merry's search for knowledge still exists. perhaps she can see some of the large libraries the princess has to offer!
