Personality
Mercy is sweet, kind, and poised. She chooses her words carefully and often takes her time to share her thoughts. Mercy can come across as softspoken and anger is something she doesn’t seem to know, having never been one to raise her voice or trouble others with her own frustrations, as they’re clearly far less important than the struggles others endure. Much like her name implies, Mercy is incredibly forgiving and is always willing to give others a second or third chance. She sees the good in all creatures, even those that society has turned its back upon, and wishes to offer them open arms and the compassion that no longer graces them. Mercy has lived a relatively sheltered life, and tends to be pretty naive in her approach of others, thinking she can befriend and help anyone. It’s a fatal flaw that can lead to her easily being manipulated by those that don’t necessarily have the best interests in heart.
She idolizes her older siblings, admiring their looks and their personalities. She sees no flaw in them and wishes to one day emulate their strengths. Mercy looks up to her siblings so much, she doesn’t see that they get annoyed with her or want little to do with her. (This is assuming that Vanity and Koray have a significant gap in age with her and are closer with one another. Need to flesh this out with Fatal and Wicky) Mercy simply sees the cold shoulder her siblings give her as them being busy with their far more important tasks, and believes that they work very hard for the betterment of the herd, which she wishes to prioritize as well as they do.
For the most part, Mercy secluded herself to her duties as a priestess of the moon, finding more comfort in the silence of night and the light of the celestial bodies in the sky than the bustle and chatter of busy days in the herd’s territory. She has a very formal approach to others, even those she knows well. Her speech patterns reflect this and she refersto her parents as mother and father and often avoids use of contractions and slang in her speech. Part of this is due to the fact that she participates and holds ceremonies for the herd, but her personality lends itself to such behavior.
Mercy loves to hear stories of daring and adventure. While she herself is far too timid to ever go on an adventure of her own, she loves to hear the stories of others with such daring. Telling tales of saving damsels, fighting monsters, and exploration of the world is an easy way to captivate Mercy’s attention and an easy way to bring the ever curious side of her personality to the forefront.
