Someone will really have to convince Merrill to use the holographic tech to look less elf-ish (SHE IS TOO PROUD). Also for that pride/tradition she has never worn shoes, and...probably should now. This likely means she'll slip and slide in them like Bambi for a bit at first, because she won't be able to feel the ground. (Everyone feel free to laugh.)

Other than Kaneis and Elissa she won't know anyone, but that won't stop her from following your character if they seem to be doing something interesting! Likewise, anyone's welcome to follow her and get lost, I haven't planned anything yet.

Here are pros/cons for this mission:

☑ uses magic; from attacking to controlling possible enemies, she can do it all!
☑ stealthier than an average human.
☑ can wrap and stitch wounds (greedy with her poultices).
☑ friendly and curious enough to seek out people to question.
☑ tiny enough to squeeze through tight spots (w/o her staff).
☑ neutral enough to work with almost anyone.

☒ no healing magic.
☒ isn't stealthier than a rogue.
☒ looks like an elf (maybe because she is one).
☒ is not used to snow. srsly may turn into an elfsicle.
☒ friendly and curious enough to seek out people...and get lost.
☒ so awkward she may accidentally ramble herself out of the investigation.
