Meri is a ball of optimism. Despite the harrowing situation, he somehow manages to get away with treating it all like a game and continuing to push for a good attitude. Though some find his constant cheerfulness unbearable, to others it serves as a grounding force keeping them going in the dark times.
He can also be incredibly forward and pushy with his intentions, however, often relentlessly bothering someone about doing something or going somewhere he wants them to try until they just give in and do it. In some ways, this too can be helpful, but most of the time it tends to drive others away--this, compared with his somewhat childish disposition, makes him a bit difficult to get along with for those who value their space and privacy.
That said, however, something about Meri is also incredibly magnetic. Perhaps itβs his bright smile that never seems close to wavering, his carefree attitude towards life, or his penchant for merriment, but he seems to have attracted a small crowd of friends and admirers over the years.
Yet still, something seems to be just a bit off-center about this charismatic gentleman. There are hints in his odd behaviors that Meri is more than he appears, but no one has ever been able to put their finger on what it is about him that doesnβt quite line up.

As he tells it, Meri had a perfectly average life. He loved the outdoors, particularly the swamp tucked away behind his house, and often spent long hours trekking through the woods, trimming thornbushes and planting trees to keep the habitat fresh for wildlife. He was his familyβs own landscaper, actually preferring to spend his afternoons outside playing in the dirt rather than comfortably sitting indoors reading a book like his parents.
Eventually, his affinity for the outdoors led him to begin groundskeeping for other houses in the neighborhood, using his expert knowledge on plant life and landscaping to keep lawns and hedges clean and trimmed. This life suited him just fine, allowing him a shot at an Ultimate title that he readily accepted.
There are hints something traumatic happened in his past, but he doesnβt like to talk about it.
