Merit is a celestial warlock, still exploring the powers that have been growing with her since she was a child. Warm, whistful and benevolent, she's charismatic and would always seek to make friends wherever she may find herself. She's at home with her new friend group, despite feeling wildly out of place in the world outside of her small farm with her family. Her powers manifest in powerful blasts of electricity and soft healing light, and if she didn't have the ability to tend to and help those around her she would've surely left by now. Feeling terribly responsible for every injury her friends endure, Merit promises herself that she'll see their adventure through...

When it's all over she wants to go home. Start her own farm. Live peacefully But the more time goes by the farther away it feels. She stores away spare silver and gold anyways and likes to think about what kind of animals she'd get. A lot of goats, for sure.

Merit can't deny her adventuring has changed how she sees things and how she acts. It takes a toll. While usually energetic and eager to explore she is weary and cautious. Her loyalty to her friends is undying, as charismatic and thoughtful as ever. Protective, but all too aware of her lack of control. She can't help what trouble her friends get into, but she'll go along with them either way.

Witch Bolt

Doing 3d12 lightning damage, this is certainly nothing to mess with. Although this power is rarely seen from Merit, often saving her energy for more healing spells.

Protection from Evil and Good

At a touch, Merit can cast a spell to protect a willing creature from aberrations, celestials, elementals, fey, fiends, and undead. They can't be charmed or possessed and creatures of that type have disadvantage when hitting them.

Cure Wounds

Healing for 3d8+4, Merit uses this on her friends frequently, despite already being trained with the healer feat. No such thing as being too healthy during battle.

Eldritch Blast

An iconic staple of any warlock, it arcs from her fingertips in bright flash of lightning to do 1d10+4 per blast.

Merit grew up on a small farm in dead snows with her mother, Hope, and her father, -name-, a jeweler. She was an adventurous and eager child who loved to climb trees, bird watch, playfight with sticks and swords and help the other townsfolk when she could. While she loved animals she'd often rush through her chores in order to explore the forest and play with her friends. Growing up she always sought adventure, and often found small ones like helping keep wolves away from the neighbors sheep and finding a child who wandered just a tad too far from home.

Magic

She found a cave when she was small, she heard sounds coming from inside and was intrigued. She thought of fighting dragons and discovering treasure. Driven by curiosity she entered, and discovered a divine being in combat with a deadly looking beast, it would've been the last thing she ever saw, as it saw her and pounced, sinking its claws in deep. She woke up in the hands of the being, gifting her a second chance at life after she slayed the beast. These memories were locked away until a dream bought them back while she was traveling.

Current

Looking to take on work she stopped by a bulletin seeking help and jumped at the chance. Four other folks were interested in the job as well, and so she met Eira, Hera, Jinryn and Ten. Having lost contact with some miners they enlisted the group check in on them, only to find the mine was overrun by kobolds, receiving orders from a mysterious figure. It's been a spiral since then. Merit closely bonded with those she traveled with, and got to fully embrace her powers. From cults, ancient rituals, to kidnapped cats and rat gangs, Merit has a lot on her plate. She pushes it aside in favor of focusing on her friends, who tend to get wrapped up in the thick of it.
