Phobias:
Mer does not have a condition that would categorize her with a phobia.
Fears:
Mer fears being trapped in one place for a prolong period of time. When she was living with the Qillas, her days was spent either fighting in small skirmishes or meditation. Fighting was the only time she left the small cavern that was allotted to her. The Qillas had not accepted her into the tribe proper due to her weak aptitude with Hymmos, a song magic that all Qillas use in their various daily lives. She was reticulated and shunned for the better part of her younger years until she was asked to leave. She took the chance and left. Mer feels that if she stays in one place too long, the Qillas would one day drag her back into the tribe and bind her into their war until her dying breath.

- She is able use Hymmos to a limited degree. Mostly simple chants to aid her in her spell castings.
- Because of how the AuRa hear differently from the rest of the current race, she is able to discern the differences in aetherflow. Which is very helpful when someone is either under thrall or possessed by a voidsent. Or other aether related aliment.
Why Someone Might Love Them:
Why wouldn’t you love a woman who is insecure, skittish, and blunt? Just Kidding. Mer is the type of person if she loves, she will love deeply. Once you manage to calm her and provide a stable ground for her to flourish, she would dedicate her whole being to her chosen partner. For good or ill, Mer had very little that she can call her own. If someone was able to show her affection and prove to her that they are sincere about their feelings, she would in return give her all to the other. It matters not to Mer if the other person is doing good or evil so long as they are happy and is willing to stay with her. So long as her presence will not cause her significant other grief Mer would establish a permanent home to return to and probably spoil her partner with a lot of food, curious trinkets, and affection.
Why Someone Might Hate Them:
On the flip side, Mer is very naive and ignorant of many things. Being from somewhere outside of Eorzea and her years spent journeying by herself had hamper her communication skills severally. Therefore there are many social etiquette that she might miss or outright ignore. Mer is also fairly short tempered when push come to shove. She is more willing to act before planning, a trait born from being in constant war. Because it takes her time to figure out what to say, sometimes people simply assumed she is slow. Regardless of which ever viewpoint you have, Mer simply does not communicate unless she is prompted in part due to her skittish nature and in part due to her lack of communication skills. Someone have to be very patient with her for her to open up.
That is also not getting into her very brutal viewpoint regarding warfare. She fights dirty, using anything within reach to beat and defeat her enemy. There are no enjoyable play fights. A battlefield for her is literally to do or to die. Those who are weak will die, and those who are strong will live. It does not matter if you are enemy or friend. If you are weak, stay out of the field. She will not protect your back when you get overwhelmed.
How They Changed:
Mer have not change yet because I haven’t rp her with many people on tumblr. I’m going to leave the changes up to the partner I RP with because there is many ways she can go and I want to explore them all.
Why You Love Them:
To me Mer is a very flawed individual who is very much shaped by the unfortunate childhood she lived. Mer is trying her best to shake off the shackle which her past had cast on her, but she never seems to manage it. She clings to the Qilla heritage like a security blanket even if that very same value had cost her so much grief as a child. She wants to belong, she wants to be loved, but she doesn’t dare let herself to hope because she is scared of having that mental image of something better shattered. But the dream is already shattering. Eorzea is not accepting of her physical appearance as Mer was led to believe. The Scions probably was the only good thing that had happen to her in a long time. She is stuck wavering between loving herself and rejecting herself. I love imperfect characters who is struggling so hard to do something even if they lapse back into their bad habits from time to time. Most of all, I love and admire people who knows they are bad and is openly facing their mistakes and trying to better themselves. Mer is not quite there yet, but I hope one day she will be.
