Personality
She has been described as arrogant or cold and that might be true. Having grown up spending long periods by herself and never really needing other people besides her childhood friend friend Vegas Oriel and her adoptive father Egil she was content with her situation. Why should she change how she or waht she does to fit in with others? Especially after Merel began her training at Signal and excelled she went about her life with little interest in others opinions, this has caused her to seem rather harsh and cold but if she takes the time to get to know you Merel is a surprisingly caring and funloving individual. Cheerfully optimistic in her own calm analitical way she seems to approach everything with the same take charge attitude, be it a pack of grimm or a stack of homework. Teamwork has not been Merel's strong suit, prefering to take charge and have everything go to her plan rather than discuss it with the others.

Abilities and Powers
Merel is a skilled swordsman, capable of engaging multiple foes with her weapons in it's multiple forms. she's also a surprisingly good student in more acedemic fields. Her observation skills in combat allow her to plan her strikes and defense to match the foe she faces. She had recieved training in using her aura and semblance to complement her choice of weapons.

Semblance: Spectral guard.

When Merel activates her semblance, magical armour appears on her body. the pieces are a translucent cyan and cover her legs, chest, shoulders and arms, while also extending from her shield, doubling the width. This technique increases her defense significantly but also sacrifices her speed. the d i have the armour weigh her down? armor requires her to keep a level of aura to maintain it. if she loses too much she has to sacrifice pieces of her armor to decrease the draw on her aura. She also has the ability to quickly destroy the spectral armor to regain her speed for sudden charges

Background
It is strange how any situation can pass as normal when it is all you know.

Merel grew up never knowing her parents. They were hunters and dies on a misison when she was only two and a half years old. Having no other family to take care of her Merel was given into the care of Egil Crucible, a teammember of her parents and a close friend of them. the first months were tough for Egil, adjusting to life as a single parent and having to give up his career as huntsman to take care of the child of his friends. One of Merel's more destinct memories was of her learning in first grade that it was strange that she was not the daughter of her father but adopted. Egil had always been Egil and he had always taken care of her.

As merel grew older she grew curious of who her parents were. Egil explained to her they were Hunters like him before he began teaching at Signal. The idea of her parents heroicly fighting the forces of evil excited Merel and lead to many adventures in her neighbourhood fighting the Forces of Evil.

Around this time Merel befriended a girl of her age in the neighbourhood, Vegas Oriel, a girl with a particular love for fireworks and other things that go bang. How the two would get along so well would always be a mystery for Egil who at first was reluctant about letting Merel play with Vegas. However after a while it was clear the two were becoming inseperable and so the two families would begin a

It was weird going to the school where your father is teaching at. Not that her father would play favourites with her during class or anything like that. It was just weird growing up with stories from her father about the place so she had her preconceptions about Signal Academy when she started her first year. going through puberty in her home situation would prove to be a bit more difficult than her father had anticipated. Egil tried his best at being both a supportive father and a teacher but from time to time they would clash. thankfully their fights would not last long and overall Merel had a pretty normal life as a teenager.

As Merel grew and learned more at Signal academy her talents began to show. Much like her mother Merel proved to be a capable swordsman and would rellish in her duelist matches against the other students. She learned to use her semblance and aura and how to use them to create hew own style in combat. When she made her personal equipment she surprised Egil with her choice of weapons, resembling a mix of her parent's combat styles. While her mother Alice had always favoured a direct assault with her rapier, Jack had been the reliable commander of their team. Merel's shield and double sword were an echo of her father's spear and tower shield and his walls of ice with which he had controlled the battlefield near fifteen years ago.
