History: Mercy is the eldest of 2 she had a younger brother, with a father who was a sought after heart surgeon and a mother who lived a life of luxury. Mercy has never been hard done for in her life, despite never really seeing her parents because they were always out at conventions or playing tennis, she was given money to compensate for their absence. She was basically raised by her nanny, Serena. Serena taught her the ways of the world, preventing her from becoming a typical rich brat. Besides she spent most of her childhood with her nose buried in books, except for the occasional archery or horse riding lesson, even combining the two when she was older.
Mercy met Tamashii when she went to a mainstream high school, despite clashing to begin with the two became near enough inseparable. A typical yin and yang pairing, Mercy tried to keep Tamashii on the rails though it always ended up with the pair of them getting into trouble. After a while she couldn't keep it hidden from her parents, they carted her off to an expensive all girls boarding school to keep face with their social clicks. Mercy found her love of science among other 'interests' in boarding school, she was particularly drawn to medical science the idea of being able to help people and save lives sat well with her.
She reunited with Tamashii when she graduated, this lead to her parents disowning her when she refused to severe her connection with Tamashii and stay with them. Luckily for her Tamashii was there to catch her, between the pair of them they held down a flat and worked towards getting Mercy into medical school, doing any job they could. Serena kept in close contact with her throughout everything and offered a guaranteed meal for them whenever they needed it. When the infection hit Mercy had just finished a shift waiting tables, she instantly went to Serena meeting up with Tamashii, they missed the first wave of evacuations but followed closely behind. Serena was an elderly woman by this point and although she tried to keep up, she ended up slowing the two women down.
The trio joined with another group of survivors for a small while, but the group was overrun during the night. Despite her best efforts, Mercy was of little use during the attack she had never had to wield a weapon before, this cost Serena her life when she tried to protect her. Serena’s sacrifice sits heavily on Mercy, Tamashii has stuck by her and now the two travel alone, constantly searching for safety.
What are their personal goals relating to the outbreak: To help as many people survive as possible, find somewhere safe. Secondary objective: Find a cure.
Anything else: Mercy has an underlying health problem, Long Q-T Syndrome although its a very mild case symptoms can vary. She also suffers from a mild case of Nyctophobia (Fear of the dark), and Thalassophobia (Fear of the Ocean)
Unbeknownst to most, Mercy can sing (Quite well) and play the piano though it seems like a useless skill to have now.
Mercy has the Japanese Kanji for love (愛; Ai) tattooed on the inside of her left wrist.
