Inexperienced with it though.<br/><strong>Background:</strong><br/>Super Magical Guardian Nurse Merry is the hero of the galaxy, always there to save the day, graceful, mature, and talented. At least, in Merriam's fantasies she is anyway. In reality she's clumsy, extremely curious, uninhibited, easily excitable, and not even a little mature for her age. And she doesn't have some fancy title either, it's just Merry. She's Always making messes and getting tangled up in things. She loves to play with anything she finds interesting, and she finds nearly anything interesting. One of her favourite hobbies is tinkering with mechanical devices and making changes to them for good or ill, just to see how they work.<br/><br/>She joined the crew of the Novalis after stowing away onboard the ship. She was quickly discovered by the Doc after getting tangled up in bandages and suspended helpless in the air amidst partially dismantled medical equipment. Rather than getting upset about it, he found her curiosity about medicine amusing and quickly became attached to her. It was up to Jade whether or not she could stay however, and so after letting herself get cleaned up and work up her nerve, Doc presented her to the Snowy Captain of the Novalis.<br/><br/>Jade made her explain how she came to be on board the Novalis before making any decisions about her. Merry explained that she got into a little trouble on one of the sky islands, and while her offenses were all minor she kept causing problems over and over again. Since she was kind of cute some unscrupolous sorts decided to get rid of her by kidnapping her and selling her off. She managed to escape once the ship she was on docked somewhere, before her little kitty heart could be too traumatized. She did this by blowing apart the chain holding her along with a part of the vessels wall with an improvised explosive. She got a little hurt by shrapnel in the process, which is why after sneaking aboard the most beautiful ship in the port(That was the Novalis she clarified), she made her way to the medical bay. There she got a bit distracted bandaging herself up.<br/><br/>Jade didn't throw her out at least, and she was put on probation as the Doc's Assistant only. And that's what she's been doing for the last year. Although bumbling at times, her boundless energy and infectious optimism have caused her to find a way into the hearts of many members of the crew. She still wears the spelled collar she was chained with, unsure of what might happen if someone tried to take it off, but with the Doc's gift of a Cross she fashioned the remnants of the chain into a necklace.
