Mendil, Nidari Duelist
Infusions: jellyfish
among the many professional duellists of the justice system of the Nidari Reach, there is one who is regarded by the rest with suspicion and disdain, even as her skill in the arena is beyond reproach - Mendil, champion of the penniless and the downtrodden.
the child of a Gyrist missionary mother from the Commonwealth of Reld and a Nidari father, Mendil's faith is extremely important to her, and drives her - despite her distaste for violence - to use her skills to represent the innocent and the poor in the extremely unfair Nidari justice system. her hope in the long term is to abolish trial-by-combat entirely.
heavily jellyfish infused, even for a Nidari, Mendil has all of the benefits that entails, as well as the weaknesses - her skin breaks and bleeds easily, and she suffers quickly if not regularly immersed in water.
she travels broadly across the Reach, and often far beyond, to train to improve her skills in unarmed combat as well as to fight in other unjust trial-by-combat systems around the world.

Relationships
History
Ithrum and Mendil either meet or get together in either New Caracar or Dow - somewhere where southern Gyrists are rare, so they can be in the same conclave. possibly meet in one and get together in the other?
