Dalish without a clan. Arrived with several alienage elves, mostly from Kirkwall.

She has since asked the Inquisition as a whole to stop fighting among itself, helped kill a dragon in the Emprise, traveled to Weisshaupt only to return with thirteen griffon hatchlings, and helped get Justice out of Anders. After the Inquisition arrived in Kirkwall, Merrill went off on her own for a while. She returned from
