Shijakka Merbelin

Shijakka Merbelin is a partymember and part of the main cast in the game. She is classified as smith/physician and can be romanced by male and female players. She is 28 years old.

Appearance
Due to her job as a smith Shijakka is rather muscular. She has several bruises and scars all over her body, especially on her arms. It is not known if they are inflicted by other persons or are simply accidents from working. She refuses to wear shoes, because she does not want to "lose the ground". She believes that shoes and even socks weaken people, disconnect them from their true nature and are the first step to heteronomy. She wears nagged pants and a ragged skirt. Instead of a belt she coiled a worn out scarf around her waist. Her short sleeved hooded trenchcoat is the only top she is wearing. Below only a bandage is wrapped around her breasts.

The right half of her head is completely shaved, the left half is adorned with a emo-like cut. On both sides her sideburns are grown out. She always wears a band-aid on her right lower jaw. Despite her buff appearance her neck seems rather fragile. She often keeps a straight face and rarely laughs. Shijakka often seems tired or bored. She is rarely seen without a cigarette.

Personality
Shijakka acts cold and indifferent, but actually is a caring person. She covers uncertainty with her cynical character and often acts like a lump. When it is required she shows her righteous and helpful side. She is rather reserved and rarely starts a conversation. Even if drawn into a conversation she thinks carefully before talking. Still she often acts snappy.

Background
Shijakka's adoptive father, a physician from Artisans named Leo, found her on his habilitation expedition in Otrolmo. Her parents were killed and after investigating the scene Leo only found the toddler. He did not have any clues on her name, so he simply called her "Shijakka", which is the Otrolmian term for a resistant alloy, that he was researching. Since she survived whatever killed her parents, Leo thought that the name was fitting.

Shijakka is a talented smith and learned a lot about physics from her adoptive father.
