She is a natural risk taker.She does not trust people, and likes to appear mysterious to others. Despite this, she is surprisingly convincing, and is prone to bursts of emotion. She is frugal, understanding money's value and power. She is also kind of a loner, even if she speaks fairly frequently.

Even during the Seven Year War, the Deku people were safely hidden in the Lost Wood. Mercey was being groomed to be a proper Merchant, like her father before her, and his father before him. But business was different now. The roads were crowded with monsters and bandits were prominent. Mercey's father insisted on teaching his daughter self defense. He bought her a knife, and taught her how to use it. This proved to be a good idea. News spread quickly of the Hero's return, even to the hidden Deku people. This brought much joy and hope to the Deku people that they may return to normal trade and ascend from half the population from being in poverty. As the days went by, less monsters crowded the roads, and more trading was done. But eventually, more monsters returned. Quickly after, the Kokiri, who were currently debating another trade disagreement with the Deku, were attacked and slaughtered, the survivors becoming enslaved. The King informed his people that they would begin trade with Ganon, as to entice the gerudo to let them live. It was about this time Mercey began working in the mercantile business. One day, while she was smuggling goods to the Deku Palace, she encountered a man. He was a poor Hylian, obviously harried and hurt. He told her that, when Ganon had defeated Zelda and Link, the pieces of the Triforce weren't obtained by Ganon, but instead broken and spread across the land. The man looked poor and foolish, so Mercey disregarded him. But soon after, some of Ganon's men came to the Deku capital looking for something. Mercey, always one to make a deal, started accosting the men to make a purchase. Surely, she had what they wanted. Unwittingly, they tipped her off to the existence of the Triforce fragments. Imagine the deal she could make off of that! She began following the underground trail of rumors and hearsay until she encountered a man. Said man had no money to pay for the ornate, antique bow and arrows he wanted, but was willing to trade some info. The location of a Triforce fragment. Hesitantly, she gave the man the weapon, but as soon as she did, he raced out of the shop. It seemed he bought the bow as a means to obtain the power himself. Mercey too, raced for it. For a day and a night, she rode by horseback to an old ranch where a soldier of Ganon lay in wait. He seemed to not know what he had, and Mercey was just barely able to swindle it out of him, having to give him all of the rupees she had on her. She, of course, got them back with her trusty boomerang as soon as he was far enough away though. As she held the rock in her hand, it felt as though she was getting smarter every second. Quickly, she squeezed it into her palm and absorbed it. Just in time for the bowman to appear. As soon as they saw each other, he began to nock an arrow from the quiver, killer intent visible in his eye. But somehow, even though Mercey barely ever got into fights, she knew exactly what to do. She dodged his arrows with ease, and managed to strike him down. Though she originally planned to sell the rock to the highest bidder, it may have been a better idea to keep it. For now, she would make her way to Oasis to see how much people would pay for Wisdom as great as this.
