Merethyl Mahariel (Born 9:07 Dragon) is a Dalish elf from Sabrae clan.

## Overview

#### **Background**

Merethyl was born in 9:07 Dragon, in Sabrae clan. Before she was born, her parents was ambushed by a group of humans and city elves, killing her father instantly. Her mother was wounded, although she lived enough to give birth to Merethyl and soon she abandoned her and disappeared in grief. From then on, an old woman in her clan named Ashalle started to take care of Merethyl as her guardian.

### **Physical Appearance**

She has tan skin with freckles, long, wavy orange hair and heterochromia eyes(being one blue and one yellowish green). She is taller than an average elf in general.

She cares about her appearance and tends to wear nicer clothes than others(and Leliana admires her for it). She wants to look good, even when she is fighting a horde of darkspawn.

### **Personality**

She is cocky, sarcastic and witty at most of the time, although she can be serious depending on the situation. She is very clever and always knows what to do and what to say. She is very kind and wants an equal world for all races. However, she tends to put elves first. She cares about elven people a lot, whether they are Dalish or city elves. She is ready to do whatever it takes to bring justice and peace to them.

Eventually they started to like each other and Zevran stayed loyal to her throughout the journey. After they defeated the Archdemon, Zevran went to Antiva. Once she finally got all of her work done, she traveled to Antiva in order to find Zevran. There, the two got married. They are still together to this day.
