Merr Arton (['mɛɹ 'aɹˌtən])
Merritine Arton (a.k.a. Merr)
Physical Description
Facial Features
Merr possesses a commanding presence. Her hazelnut skin complements the rich, chocolate-brown waves of her hair, which is carefully secured with golden beads. Her stern, bronze-coloured eyes are upturned at the outer corners, giving her a naturally intense and discerning expression. Framed by arched eyebrows, her gaze is unwavering.
Her facial features are both refined and striking. She has a tall, elegant nose and lips featuring a well-defined cupid’s bow and a slightly fuller bottom lip. A scar marks the outer right corner of her lips, a subtle but telling remnant of past conflict. Her tapered jawline adds to her air of quiet authority, lending her a stern and self-assured appearance.

Merr wears a protective black bodysuit underneath the traditional Jedi robes. Over them, she wears a red sash made of natural fibres, showing her ties to the Coruscant Guard.

- Lightsaber
- A lightsaber made of durasteel with accents of copper and durite. The blade was an intense blue colour.
- Aggressive ReConnaissance-170 starfighter

Personality Characteristics
Virtues & Personality perks
Merr was principled and steadfast, holding herself and those around her to high standards.
Her strong sense of justice, shaped by vague memories of her brief time on Corellia, made her deeply committed to upholding the law and ensuring fairness. She was disciplined in her training, approaching every blessing with dedication and willingness to improve. Her structured, responsible nature made her an excellent team player and leader, capable of making difficult decisions for the greater good.
As a naturally talented pilot, she took pride in her skills and often shared her knowledge with others, forming a mutual exchange of expertise with any who would share.
Despite her stern exterior, she was deeply loyal to those she cared about, and her dry humour—when understood—could be sharp and insightful rather than dismissive.
Vices & Personality flaws
Merr's rigidity in following rules and procedures, however, sometimes made her inflexible, struggling to see the value in bending regulations for the sake of practicality or morality.
Her dry humour, while sharp, was often mistaken for arrogance or coldness, making it difficult for her to connect with those who didn't know her well. Furthermore, she had little patience for those who disregarded authority or acted recklessly, which led to friction with those who operated outside the rules. While her commitment to the law was admirable, it blinded her to the nuances of complex situations, making her hesitant to embrace unconventional solutions even when they were necessary.
Social
Contacts & Relations
Merr's involvement with the Coruscant Guard was widely known. She worked closely with Clone Commander Fox, with whom she had a close relationship.
It was a rumour amongst the Guard that Merr and Fox were romantically attached, though there was no proof to support these claims.
