Mercia is a commander in the Cherrystone Kingdom. She became queen of the Cherrystone Kingdom following the assassination of her father, Mercival II, by Sigrid of the Felheim Legion. Mercia is well-meaning, but inexperienced in the matters of diplomacy. Much more comfortable on the battlefield than on the throne, she hopes she can use her energetic and fearless spirit to rule the country she has now inherited, and gain the respect of those around her.[1]
Background[edit]
Though Mercia must find her feet as the new ruler of Cherrystone, her inexperience is counteracted somewhat by her commitment, loyalty and compassion. She's a talented commander and a natural leader, though she still needs the guidance and support of her friend and tutor, Emeric.
Emeric has always been in Mercia's life, and she can't imagine a world without him, any more than she could a world without her father. After the death of her mother when Mercia was just six, Emeric's steady, quietly loving presence kept her and her father going. Officially, Emeric is Mercia's tutor, but Mercia has always considered him family - as did her father.[2]
Groove[edit]
Mercia's Groove is Heal Aura. When used, it heals all units in a large radius.[3] Healing Aura heals the units by 50%.
Healing Aura is at it's most efficient when used to heal expensive and powerful units. The groove also increases Mercia's sustainability and allows her to take risks other commanders can not.

Trivia[edit]
- Mercia is voiced by Tamara Fritz.[4]
- It seems likely Mercia was designed after the Soldier unit, wielding a sword with knight armour.
- Her design is also a counterpart to Ragna, who wields the shield and bears a helmet, completing the soldier armour set.
