Meri

Meri is one of the current Blue Paladins, who began her service in the midst of the war against Zarkon, before Allura and Coran entered the cryofreeze. She piloted the Blue Lion to Earth before entering a similar stasis, though she exited it approximately sixteen years prior to the other two.

Personality
Meri is extroverted, but understands how to be lowkey.

Meri is shown to suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from her time as a Paladin before the Lions were split up, and Survivor's Guilt on top of that. She is driven to take risks she might otherwise not consider because she feels as if she owes it to those she has lost.

Abilities
Meri is a polyglot, fluent in Piraxan (Sa's native language), Spanish, and English on top of her native language Altean. She is conversational in Galran, a common language during her first tenure on the Castle of Lions, and Russian, which she learned while investigating Earth's space programs. She knows enough German-- interspersed with Galran-- to convince someone who's unfamiliar with the language that she can speak it. She has picked up some swears in Olkari, Unilu, and various other intergalactic trade languages thanks to Lealle, and some vocabulary in French, Portuguese, and Hindi thanks to contacts in various space programs.

Trivia

 * Meri picked up the cuddling urge from the Mendozas, but she has a tendency to smother.
 * Meri felt bad about her illicit credit card, so she made heavy use of bargain bins.
