Name: Generally goes by Mery
Character Concept: Nerdy girl face/support character constantly seeking new knowledge, has a life goal of creating a comprehensive flora of plants from the Material Plane.
Lineage, Background, Planned Subclass: Mery is an Eladrin Elf, with the Sage background and will take the College of Lore when she reaches the correct level.
Description: Mery has long blonde hair that she generally wears up in a bun to keep it out of her face and piercing green eyes. She prefers clothes that are functional and have many pockets. She wouldn't be the first one to come and greet you in a room, as she has a somewhat reserved nature, but she can be incredibly charming and persuasive when she wants to be, and she can be quite warm once she's had a bit of time to warm up to you. She often has a somewhat distracted air, as though her attention is elsewhere, and indeed it is, as she is commonly mentally cataloguing anything that strikes her as worth being written down, although plant knowledge is her first love. During downtime, she can often be found madly scribbling in one of multiple notebooks she carries. When she is distracted, she frowns very slightly and the right side of her mouth quirks upward.
Socially, Mery is fairly relaxed with people she knows, with the one exception being when people are standing too close physically to her or are trying to force her to do something she doesn't want to do. In those cases, she will ask them to either back off or let her go, and if they resist or continue to force her, she will walk away from the conversation if she has the option to do so.
Plothook: Mery met Ispin Greenshield when he once traveled the Feywild and brough stories and goods from the Material Plane. It was as a result of this visit that Mery decided that she wanted to complete a flora of Material Plane plants as her contribution to the Royal Library of the Seelie Court.
Relationships with other characters TBD.
Past is Prologue (backstory): This is Mery's backstory. Blah blah blah until I can figure out what I want it to be.
Truths, Rumors and Lies:
(True) Mery came to Krynn from the Feywild.
(False) Mery was exiled from the Feywild for murder.
(True or False???) Mery has abandoned her people.
Provide at least two to your application:
Deity: Mery favors Branchala, whom she usually refers to as the Song of Life and when in need of inspiration, it is he to whom she prays. However, her faith is not as yet particularly well-developed and with the right kind of pressures and stresses, it could very well deepen and grow.
Connections: Mery's parents and younger sister live in the Feywild and would cheerfully put any of her friends up if it meant seeing their daughter for even a short time. Her enemy is a jealous female Eladrin by the name of Marmendi Tassarion, who had been betrothed since birth to Mery's love interest Quorian Alenuath, a scholar who Mery met while serving the Royal Library at the Seelie Court. Marmendi destroyed some valuable books from the Royal Library and had Mery blamed for it, resulting in her dismissal from the position. Marmendi furthermore sent a threatening letter to Mery, telling her that her family would be harmed if she didn't leave Quorian alone or did anything to break the betrothal. Quorian for his part swore he loved Mery, not Marmendi, but when Mery suggested he go to his parents and break the betrothal, Quorian refused. Mery sadly concluded that if Quorian was unable to act on the love he claimed to have for her, he didn't really love her at all, and for the sake of keeping her family safe, decided to come to the Material Plane (i.e. Krynn) and start her life's work.
