Mariel Karstedt Occupation: Merchant Gender: Female [Personality] Calculating and ambitious. She dreams of becoming a great merchant one day. In a world where adventurers are the idols of society, she somehow admires merchants instead. She takes pride in being a merchant; despite graduating from a magic academy with top honors, she chose not to become a mage, instead making and selling magic tools and elixirs. However, the reality of her working as a merchant despite her skills, combined with her incredibly suspicious-looking face, means she can't sell anything to anyone and lives in poverty. She boasts that one day she will become a merchant that her childhood friends and everyone around her will never look down on again. [Combat] She graduated from a magic academy but doesn't carry a staff and is physically weak. She is frail from not eating enough. She has mana and can cast spells, but she doesn't have the courage to actually use them against people.
