Notable tattoos/scars/birthmarks: The blood written tattoo on her face which represents one of the nine elven deities. This is called Blood Writing or Vallaslin.
General Clothing: Tevinter Mage Robes. She prefers light clothing/ armor instead of the heavier kinds since her strength isn't the best. She doesn't exactly wear shoes, only the heels of her feet are covered, it's not really an issue to her either.

Likes:
Demons- she thinks that they are good and interesting.
Magic.
New experiences.
Kittens.
Clean places.
The history of her people. She loves finding out more about elven history. She hates seeing those items destroyed as well.
Friends. It's good to have them, and she gets along rather well... sometimes. Her innocent looks are a help when getting along with others.
The Keeper. She is like a mother to her.
Her people. She grew up with the Dalish, they are her family.
Merrill is a naive girl so she likes a lot of things.
Dislikes:
Unclean places when she has people over. She can swear that it always looks so tidy before someone comes over. She fusses over her living place's appearance.
Injury's. Unless she's causing them herself for blood magic.
Disappointing her people.
The shems 'Maker'. She doesn't exactly believe or like their Maker. To her the Maker is just a story the humans use to explain the world.
Being told that blood magic is wrong. She knows the harm but she insists that it's good.
Strengths:
Magic: She was born a mage and knows the ancient magic of her tribe. She even performs blood magic which makes her powerful and dangerous.
Weaknesses:
Naive: Merrill is a ignorant girl. When it comes to magic or elven history, she knows a ton. But she has little knowledge/ experience in the world or even among her own people.
Speaking: She rambles, a lot. When she talks she gets carried away and even says things she doesn't mean, or rather stupid things.
Class: Mage.
Specialization: Blood magic.
===============================================================
Character History:
Merrill was born to the Alerion clan which traveled within the hills of Nevarra. She was the third child of the clan to be born with the ancient git of magic. This gift brought her to the Sabrae clan. On the day of the next Arlathvenn- the gathering of the clans- she was given to the Sabrae to be the First to Keeper Marethari.
As the First, Merrill became the apprentice of the clan's keeper, studying under her tutelage. Over her time with the clan, she became interested in recovering her race's lost lore.
One day while in the camp, one of the elves in their clan, Anceladar, was brought back to the camp by a shem, a Grey Warden no less. Apparently he and Tamlen had been exploring a cave when Tamlen disappeared and Anceladar fell unconscious. The Grey Warden happened to find him, but he was sick.
Merrill could only watch as the Keeper used the old magic to heal Anceldar. It was almost unsuccessful, and in ways it was. The magics had only weakened the sickness. He had been tainted with the darkspawn so there wasn't much that they could do.
When Anceladar awoke, she accompanied him back to the cave he had went to with Tamlen. The keeper wanted her to go with him to see the ruins herself. Either way her magic could be of use in the search of Tamlen. On the journey to the 'mirror' that lay inside the cave, they encountered Duncan, the Grey Warden. But meeting him at the mirror was not something she was happy about. She was against destroying the mirror, but Duncan smashed it. Once they left though, she stayed behind and took a fragment of the Eluvian so she could try and cleanse it of its taint.
Not long after their arrival back at the camp, the Grey Warden left with their sick clan mate. According to Duncan, joining the Grey Wardens was his only choice if he wished to live. She, along with the others, said their farewells and watched him go.
After the departure of one of their own, Merrill went back to her studies. Though of late she had begun to dabble further into the magics, blood magic. She thinks that demons are good. But her dabbling in blood magic has been causing a rift between her and her clan. She's even considering leaving though it's not a choice she's certain of yet.
