Details:
Appearance: Mervi is a slender woman in her early 30s. She has wide, sea-green eyes and long, platinum blonde hair that she often ties up in a bun. Merv’s soft looks cause her to be mistaken for a child. Despite her slender build, she is much stronger than her appearance: She is often seen slinging boxes and merchandise weighing up to 50lbs with ease. Thin scars litter her body, with the majority being on her knuckles. Her usual wardrobe includes loose fitting clothes with bright, bold patterns such as blouses and long skirts. On most days she can be seen padding around her shop without shoes.
Personality: Whilst Merv has a great sales sense and a nose for finding those hard-to-come-by items, she is also known for her charitable, easy-going nature. Those who are down on their luck know to come to her back door for care packages containing various supplies such as food, medicine, or clothes. She loves to lounge around her shop, chatting with locals and tourists alike.
Background: Merv is originally from Coastal Tyonek and has since relocated to Ithen. As soon as she set foot in Alurik, Merv set up her thrift shop. After some time, her store gained traction with the locals as the place to go when you need low prices and interesting artifacts from across the globe. If you need an item that no other store stocks, Merv is the one you should go to. She will find a way to get it into your hands - for a fee, of course.
Rumors & Gossip:
  • Her child-like looks often lead to questions of "You're not the owner, are you?", "Where's your mother/father?", and "Do you need help lifting that?".
  • It's said that Merv left Coastal Tyonek under less-than-ideal circumstances.
  • Claims the thin scars on her knuckles are from wrestling with her Toki.
