Merun is the name Kudou Asuka gave to the faerie whom she had met during the Rise of the Fire Dragon Festival.

Background
Merun is a friend of the 130 child spirits, who died in Hamelin during the rampage of the Black Death Bubonic plague in 14th Century Europe, and represents the alternate possibility. Called "The 131st Member" by the other spirits, she is also a previous member of Rattenfanger and currently with the No-Name.

Appearance
Merun is a small golden-yellow faerie that glows softly. She wears a small yellow one piece dress and a pointy yellow hat. She have long yellow hair and her eyes are white. Her actions are similar to those of a small child, as is her voice.

Plot
She made her first debut in Episode 6 in the festival, where she was discovered by Asuka, but she got frightened and ran away, to which Asuka pursued her. Shortly afterwards, they became friends and toured the gallery to enjoy the exquisite crafted pieces on display.

Merun was given to Asuka as thanks for her assistance rendered to the 130 children of Hamlin, and the faerie served as a legacy to the existence of the [Rattenfanger] community.

Gift
She has the ability to make the Soil become a Quicksand pit that traps her opponents as seen in her battle against Perytons. (Volume 5)

She has other Earth based powers that are not clearly said in the light novel as she said that she could make the arid barren land arable again with the help of the others bringing her biodegradable material.
