Mercuria

Mercuria (メルクリア) is an antagonist in Tales of the Rays, starting with Mirrage Prison arc.

History
Mercuria was born as a princess of Bifrost before it was defeated in mirrage wars. She was later brought to Sellund as a prisoner as a little child, but at some point Demitrius adopted her and raised as her own, Mercuria not aware of her own origin.

During the Mirrorshift, Mercuria aided Phillip Reston in removing Phantom. Afterwards, she and Demitrius started to talk about reviving Bifrost, resulting in the split of the Salvation Front: half of it aided Mercuria's plans, the other rebelling and remaining with Marcus Grimm and Phillip.

Mirrage Prison
At some point, Mercuria offers Kor Meteor her help in restoring Kohaku Hearts' damaged Spiria, but the boy refuses.

Appearance and Personality
Mercuria has rosy brown waist-long hair with two red bangs and amber brown eyes. She also has peculiar adornments in her hair. Mercuria wears a short black tunic with a white belt and red adornments around her waist, and a black, red, and white coat over it. She also dons red stockings and peculiar heels.

While an innocent child, Cecily notes that Mercuria can also be surprisingly cruel because of that. She is extremely short-tempered and can be easily angered when someone offends her mother. Mercuria also deeply loves her brother, even to a fault as evidenced by the finale of Mirrage Prison arc where when she discovers her brother's dead body she goes into rage. Despite all these flaws, Mercuria has been seen being concerned for her subordinates.

Fighting Style
While she is yet to be encountered in a playable fight, Mercuria was shown in cutscenes and Tales of the Rays Everlasting Destiny to be a powerful spellcaster as she was able to use Big Bang and Indignation without fail despite her young age.
