Sepherym Hukaru – her twin. They are separated by the war but help each other as much as possible.
Andrake Jassal – become friends when he moves to Caprex. He makes her smile and keeps her temper in check, sometimes.
Personality and Motives
Meryum values loyalty, commitment, respect, strength, and keeping promises. While she values honesty she also understands the need for secrecy, diplomatic white lies, and half truths. She is better at secrets and half truths than she is at diplomacy.
She began training because her father thought it was a good idea for her to see what her future knights and soldiers go through. She continued because she enjoyed it and because she was good at it. She hides the depth of her ability because she doesn’t want the boys she’s training with to hate her – she needs them as allies, they need to accept her and respect her.
She is afraid that being queen and getting married will mean giving up who she is and what she loves. She feels she must defend her choices to everyone, that no one understands or approves. She acted the tom-boy fighter to an extreme because she thought compromise equalled failure.
She must learn to use tact and etiquette. She must learn to be feminine when the occasion calls for it. She must learn that her friends and allies respect and accept her.
She gets in trouble in Tantaria when she gets over confident in her abilities. Her broken heart also makes her shut people out and she must learn to trust and care again.
