Her thirst for knowledge is insatiable, often leading her to morally ambiguous decisions if they promise greater wisdom. Mysterious – Few truly know what goes on in Merlin’s mind.

Her enigmatic nature makes it difficult to determine whether she is acting out of genuine care, curiosity, or for a purpose only she understands. Seductive and Manipulative – A master of persuasion, Merlin knows how to use her charm to get what she wants. Her words are carefully chosen, and her presence alone can make others uneasy or drawn to her.

Confident and Sarcastic – Completely aware of her superiority, Merlin carries herself with an air of unshakable confidence. She rarely shows concern, no matter the danger, and always has a sly, knowing smirk on her face. Her sharp wit often leads to sarcastic remarks, especially when she finds herself surrounded by those she deems less intelligent. Cold and Calculating – While she may act playful or teasing, Merlin is always analyzing every situation with precision. She rarely allows emotions to cloud her judgment, making decisions based on pure logic. If a sacrifice is necessary to achieve a greater goal, she will not hesitate. Obsessed with Knowledge – More than anything, Merlin values knowledge and the pursuit of understanding. This obsession drives her every action, sometimes putting her at odds with those who fail to comprehend her motives. To her, no price is too high if it means uncovering the ultimate truths of existence.
