Concept

Etymology
Merli (Meruri) is named after Merlinite (メルリナイト / Merurinaito) a type of stone known for its dual light and dark appearance.

Appearance
Much like her sister Lapis Aoki she is based off a "Magical Girl" and is also a fairy. In contrast to Lapis' her design is darker.

Profile
Her official profile says, "She's strong-minded and tsundere; a charming mysterious girl, who is innocent and expressive. She's naive, but usually pretends to know everything.". If Lapis can be seen as "light" then Merli would be seen as "dark".
Her race's concept, fairies, is that they are special people who can convert “songs” into “power”, and can only be seen by a subset of the human population.[1] Merli's power draws away the energy of living things; the opposite of Lapis' power.
