Character Name: Merrill Blurb: Fairy/Dark type Child of the Verdant Forest. Not!elf girl from a clan of nomads. Cheerful, bubbly, and bad with subtext. Uses blood magic and makes bad life choices.
AU Info: For those familiar with the Dragon Age games and the history of the Dalish, replace 'Tevinter' with 'Gigas' and 'Second Blight / Exalted March of the Dales' with 'the Cataclysm.' The BNW!Dalish were conquered and enslaved 1000 years ago by the ancestors of modern day Gigas, broke free some centuries later, re-settled in a green valley, and then lost their second homeland when the Pokemon rose up.
As for Merrill specifically, she was thrown out of her clan when she made a blood pact with one of the many Spiritomb that had been imprisoned by her people ages ago in exchange for the lost history of her people. It was lying, of course, and when she unsealed it later it tried to eat her, but she managed to beat it back and keep it bound to its Keystone. The new bargain is that it will help her until she dies, and then it can claim her body. They're still bound together via Merrill's blood, and the Dark half of her typing comes from this bargain, as does her blood magic.
Pre-Existing CR: Merrill is originally from outside Union, so you'd have to be Dalish to have known her from before she came here. Looking for: All kinds of CR from Sanctuary, given her unique situation as concerns magic and whatnot. Otherwise, just about anything else is fine too. Potential Connections: Merrill is a member of the Seekers, so anyone who's also a member has probably at least heard of her if not met her personally. She goes on a lot of field missions. Also, anyone who spends a lot of time in the library.
Other Info: Merrill doesn't know what the words 'subtext' or 'metaphor' mean and will likely interpret almost everything you say as literally as possible. Also, she sometimes slips into Dalishspeak and will say words you've never heard before.
