Name: Meryl Saoirse Makayla O'Neill
Age: 13 (turns 14 a month into the game)
Sex: Female
Height: 4'8
Weight: 89 lbs
Eyes: Emerald
Hair: Blond

Physical Traits:
Meryl's a runt, small and thin, and closer to being a stick then a girl. She wears glasses so
big that they practically frame her face and has a mouth full of metal thanks to her dental grill
work. Her smile along can reflect enough light to cause temporary blindness and has the tendency to get stuck if she talks too fact or yawns too hard. She has freckles, which her father considers a good trait amongst the Irish, yet her mother frowns upon as she fears that men of status and wealth will not want such a girl and prays every night that they fade by the time Meryl finishes college!

Personality and other interesting traits:
Meryl is a ball of spastic mental energy. She's incredibly smart, excels at math and science,
averages a 4.0+ in school, and has few to no friends since moving to Neptune. She's very shy in
person, but over say XBOX live she can be very crass and come off as mature for her age as she
guns down player after player in various deathmatch games. In short she's a nerd and one that is
never far from her Iphone or at home from her books and games. Living in the attic has it's
advantages! She tends to have to conceptualize ideas and has had marathon Lego building nights to physically visualize her ideas. She's a genius. Once you get past all the shyness and other acts
meant to defend her vulnerabilities, she’s hard to shut-up once you get her talking. When she's not gaming or reading she's on her computer or laptop programming or watching TV or something online. She's easily bored with stupid people, especially boys, since they all teased her at her last school in Pittsburg, doesn't like cats, and is actually afraid of mice, rats, and armadillos. She's more prone to be encountered wearing jeans and a jacket with a sweatshirt then anything girly and never leaves home without her vast array of misc stuff in her penguin knapsack, which always includes her multitool, a Gerber Ranger Plus given to her by her grandpa when she turned 9; she's since replaced the rivet twice and most the tools on it as well. She's also read all the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys novels and considers herself a bit of a sleuth, once even solving the great diaper mystery of 2002, when her little brother Sean would mysteriously lose his diapers for them to show up later in paper bags that were mysteriously placed outside people's doorsteps and lit on fire; boy did her dad give it to her older brothers! She has an advanced chemistry set as well as a bunch of tools for her physics lab, all purchased from old shops and fairs as most of those kits were no longer sold due to kids like her blowing themselves up or poisoning their cats.

Family:
Meryl is the oldest daughter in a family of five children. She has two older identical twin
brothers, Jim and Jake (age 16), a younger sister, Brianna (age 10), and a little brother Sean
(age 7). There's her mother and her father and grandpa O'Neill. There are also a total of five
dogs, but only the two shepards are considered hers, aptly named Burt and Ernie for characters
from her favorite childhood show (which she still watches), Sesame Street.

Powers:
Meryl has the ability to manipulate gravity and has only come to realize this as of recently,
the first incident occurring during the traumatic emotional turmoil of being forced to move away
from all her friends when they recently left Pittsburg. Of course, at this time, she's not sure
what happened and if it was her that caused it or one of the dogs, or for that matter the exact
effect she was witnessing; ie was it some form of telekinesis or levitation perhaps? She's
submitted herself to some bizarre tests to try and reproduce the events, but so far to date all
she's found out was that 10,000 volts will make her hair stand straight up, will polarize her
glasses, and will magnetize her dental work. Additionally, it is not possible to hold's one
breath till one passes out, unless you have help. Furthermore, you cannot simulate the terror of
having your pet Sheppards attack you by hanging raw steak on your body, but when she hid the
steak in Andy Given's backpack, a boy that lived down the street from her, he sure looked
terrified when all those big dogs came rushing at him. She still wonders why he had to get so
many shots, hell her dogs have nipped her more than that!

Strengths:
Meryl once participated in a world wide Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare marathon championship; she and her partner, the mysterious Death's Head Angel (DHA) played more then forty hours straight as they killed and maimed countless XBOX Live players in the quest to win, which they did. Armed with over twenty twelve packs of Coca Cola and Jolt and a bucket of ice and countless snacks and junk food she managed to keep her strength up for the duration of the marathon! She's incredibly smart, partially due to her mother being a school teacher and her father’s love of old detective novels, though if asked directly she'll make up some excuse about being exposed to the ghost of Sherlock Holmes or some bizarre form of radiation!

Weaknesses:
Caffeine junkie. Meryl can't go more than a few hours without caffeine; she practically lives on
the stuff, especially Jolt Cola, Coca Cola, and Pepsi Max. She's also been known to make iced
coffee and in a pinch break down and drink hot coffee!
