Mercedes

Fairy Princess Mercedes is one of the original protagonists from Odin Sphere and one of the main protagonists of the Sea of Erion universe. She is the daughter of the Elfaria, the Fairy Queen of Ringford, and the younger cousin of Melvin.

Background and Personality
Per her rather sheltered upbringing, Mercedes is incredibly spoiled, bratty, and overall childish. She is overly trusting and prone to deception, as well as incredibly naive, willing to fight in a war that she does not even know the reason for its cause. Her heart, however, is in the right place, as she is incredibly compassionate even to creatures that threatened her. She considers her best friend to be Khloris, a young yet wise female dragon who acts as guardian of the Ringford archipelago.

Notably, she is considered to be a "royal runt" as a Fairy, as while she carries her mother's royal blood, she has aged at the same rate as an ordinary human, having only recently celebrated her fourteenth birthday. Her mother's fear is that she will outlive her daughter before she ever gets the chance to become Queen of the Fairies.

Known Allegiances

 * Royal House of Ringford

Abilities
As a fairy, Mercedes has most of her race's typical abilities, such as the ability to fly and basic elemental magic. Due to being royalty, however, she has much more power and untapped potential within her. For example, a kiss from her is able to break certain spells or heal those who have nearly drowned in the ocean. Per the nature of her race, however, she is not physically very strong and rather fragile overall.

Her weapon of choice is her mother's Psypher Crossbow, the Tasla. She is reasonably adept in its use, having practiced by going hunting for frogs, although such a hunting trip is the reason her story begins in the first place.
