Appearance[]

Meredith is a beautiful girl with a foreign face, auburn hair (reddish-brown hair, which appeared to be braided with rope) and blue eyes. She is stated to look one or two years younger then Issei.

Personality[]

Originally, Meredith was a young, mischief loving girl as she liked her duty of sealing and storing high value magic treasure within Golden Dawn, with her befriending Le Fay due to them being fellow magicians of a similar age. She often asked Le Fay what being a noble girl was like cause she was adopted without knowing the truth about her heritage or her being adopted. After learning that she has royal blood of the British royalty in her, she outwardly developed a pride about her heritage and abilities as a mage.

But on the inside, she was very resentful about being ignored by the royal family as she grew to hate them. After being possessed by Aka Manah, she lost her distinction between good and evil causing most of the irrational issues after allying with the Alliance of Hell so she could banish them as revenge for their abandonment of her. She is shown to be pragmatic, as when Angra Mainyu asked her if she would become the new Queen after banishing the royal family, she replied that while initially she could become the Queen, she couldn't remain in the front as the various Gods and other hostile organizations wouldn't allow her to rule.

While Meredith is mostly shown to have a frivolous tone, she is respectful to individuals she believes are worthy of respect such as Hades and the Gods of Hell. She is also perceptive about the behavior of others, noting that Hades and the Gods of Hell act much more human then they believe. After being defeated and freed from Aka Manah, Meredith showed remose for her actions and regretted that she didn't leave with Le Fay in joining the Khaos Brigade.
