Merun

Merun was the name Asuka gave to the faerie that she met during the Rise of the Fire Dragon Festival.

Background
Merun was one of the 130 childrens who died in Hamelin during the rampage of the Black Death bubonic plague in Europe during the 14th Century. She was also a member of the Rattenfanger.

Appearance
A small Golden-yellow faerie that glows softly by herself. She wears a small yellow one piece dress and a pointy yellow hat. Her actions are very much that of a small child as with her voice.

Plot
First appeared in Episode 6 in the festival. She was discovered by Asuka, but she got frightened and ran away, to which Asuka pursued her. Shortyly afterwards, they became friends and toured the gallery on display.

Merun was given to Asuka as thanks for her assistance by the 130 children of Hamlin, the faerie serving as a record of the fact that the Rattenfanger community existed.

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.
