Background Story

3★	A beast woman who serves a mysterious organization from Paladia that works in complete secrecy. Not only has Merald's group transcended the barriers of age and background, it has also risen above racial conflicts.

4★	A beast woman who serves a mysterious organization from Paladia that works in complete secrecy. Merald's appearance resembles that of a Shibyra from the beast nation of Gungan, but nothing else is really known about her past. Skilled with heavy weapons, her favorite is a special axe imbued with the power of thunder. A single swing from her axe is said to have enough power to fell a great tree.
5★	A beast woman who serves the Morze's Soiree organization from Paladia that works in complete secrecy. Merald always strives for efficiency and dislikes wasting her time, causing her to be perceived as cold by others. However, she is always very focused on her mission and frank with others, commendable traits that have earned her the trust of her comrades in the organization.

Fusion

3★	There is meaning to honest training. That is to say, there are no shortcuts to be taken when training me.
4★	If we're going to pretend to help each other, we might as well take advantage of what each other has to offer. That way, at least we can develop trust.
5★	Well then, where's our next target? I'm ready to slaughter any opponent who dares stand before me.

Awakening

4★	I feel as if I've been reborn. From now on, I will set my sights on attaining strength that suits me.
5★	I feel I can be of more use if I were to become stronger. That would be a very valuable thing.

Summon

3★	I'll do my best to attain something. I certainly will not put this encounter to waste.
4★	I'll do my best to attain something. I certainly will not put this encounter to waste.
5★	I'll do my best to attain something. I certainly will not put this encounter to waste.
