Profile

A member of the Knowledge Liberation Front, a book club at Red Winter Academy.

Unlike her club mate Momiji, she doesn't just read fan books, she creates them. Writing under the name "Meruri," she draws inspiration from the drama between her fellow students. Even the feud between the Trinity and Gehenna student bodies have made it into her pages, generating some notoriety outside of Red Winter Academy.

Meru's full name is Himeki Meru. Meru's birthday is December 21st, and Meru stands 4'6" tall. Meru is voiced by 新井里美 in Japanese and Kim Nahye in Korean. Meru's hobby is drawing comics and fantasizing. ぶくろて drew Meru.
