A Homunculus placed in the care of Queen Diene some years previously, Mercedes has a poker face that gives away little emotion, but she grows quickly attached to those who show her kindness.

Lore

Arena Story

In Arena Story, Mercedes first appears to reunite with Ras and Arky inside the Pyramid after becoming separated from them, but Ventus immediately treats her with suspicion and hints that she is hiding something.

As the story progresses, the real Mercedes later returns and reveals that it is actually her first time seeing Ras and Arky since entering the Pyramid, exposing that someone else had been traveling in her likeness.

She also brings Judge Kise to Ras, showing that she had been moving through the Pyramid on her own and trying to understand what was happening there.

Once the real Mercedes rejoins the group, she becomes one of the more perceptive members of the party.

She notices irregularities in the Pyramid, reacts quickly when Crozet’s behavior seems wrong, and helps keep the group focused during battles and sudden environmental changes.

Later, while traveling with Yuna, Arky, and Aki, she insists on helping Hurado and Sven when Sven is critically injured, rebuking Aki for hesitating when a life is in danger.

She also corners Ventus and demands the truth, recognizes that he has used the same time-stopping power as before, continues searching for Ras with the others, and warns that something feels wrong when Ventus moves toward the Monolith.

After the Monolith chooses a new owner and the Pyramid falls into chaos, Mercedes notes that she cannot remember what happened afterward, but resolves to keep moving and find the others.

Epic Seven X Frieren - Beyond Journey’s End

In Epic Seven X Frieren - Beyond Journey’s End, Mercedes once again travels at Ras’s side and takes on an important supporting role as Frieren’s party arrives in Orbis.

She is present when Ras and the others investigate the Chaos Gate near Taranor, and after Frieren, Fern, and Stark emerge from it, Mercedes is one of the first to grasp what has happened, concluding that they are likely not from this world and must have crossed over through the gate.

From that point onward, she helps bridge the gap between the visitors and Orbis, traveling with them while they search for a reason they were summoned and a way to return home.

Throughout the crossover, Mercedes remains one of the party’s most consistently gentle and practical presences.

She supports Ras as he guides Frieren’s group through Taranor, helps introduce them to Krau, and works alongside them in the royal storage.

In those scenes, she often reacts with warmth and sincerity to the newcomers, openly praising Frieren’s strength, worrying over the party’s situation, and helping smooth over the awkwardness caused by the more eccentric behavior of both Arky and Frieren.

Even when the story leans into humor, Mercedes’s role is usually that of someone trying to keep everyone moving together and safely.

Mercedes is also given several moments that emphasize her emotional sensitivity.

When Ras begins to grow quiet and troubled after encountering the Hilag Lance, she is one of the first to notice that something is wrong and gently asks whether he is feeling unwell.

Later, during the dungeon and Dun Blyraia arcs, she continues to respond strongly to the suffering left behind by war: she worries over the traces of Homunculus research, is visibly disturbed by the withering land and the poison around the Naga attacks, and reacts with real sympathy to the grief surrounding Saria and the fallen elves.

Rather than driving the revelations herself, Mercedes often serves as the character who recognizes the emotional weight of what others are carrying and gives space for it to be expressed.

Her practical side is equally important.

In the dungeon, Mercedes helps investigate clues, notices details such as the keyhole that may match the item found inside the Mimic, and works together with the others to free Frieren after her reckless attempt to open the Mimic chest.

She also remains active when Robin attacks the group, during the search through the hidden laboratory, and later in the battles near Dun Blyraia and the World Tree.

Even though she is not the central emotional focus of the crossover, Mercedes remains a dependable combatant and observer whose contributions repeatedly help the group continue forward.

The story reinforces the same qualities that define Mercedes elsewhere.

She is calm without being distant, kind without being passive, and perceptive without demanding attention.

While Ras and Frieren carry much of the story’s emotional weight, Mercedes helps hold the journey together from moment to moment, making her once again one of Ras’s most dependable companions and one of the story’s most quietly compassionate figures.

Welcome to Oasis Land

In Welcome to Oasis Land, Mercedes takes on a quieter but consistently important supporting role as part of the group accompanying Eda, Arunka, Hwayoung, and Choux to Oasis Land.

Early on, she helps set the group’s gentle tone by looking after Choux, joining the swimsuit shopping trip, and warmly encouraging Eda when she appears in her summer attire.

She also explains that Ras and Arky are away on a dessert tour in Lefundos, placing her among the core companions present for the story’s main events.

Once the group reaches Oasis Land and discovers it in ruins, Mercedes quickly shows the same perceptiveness and steadiness that define her in other stories.

She notices immediate dangers around the entrance, asks Frida practical questions about why the park is closed, helps explain to Frida why the group has come, and responds politely to her hospitality rather than with suspicion or blame.

As the group begins to see how much Frida has been trying to handle alone, Mercedes’s concern deepens.

She helps calm the situation after the monster attack, escorts the frightened Frida back home, offers to use ingredients in the kitchen, and later watches over both Frida and Choux after they fall asleep.

Mercedes also becomes one of the group’s clearest observers of Frida’s character and circumstances.

After reading Frida’s “Oasis Land Revival Project” notes with the others, she recognizes how hard Frida has been trying despite the park’s poor condition.

She is one of the first to say openly that Frida seems responsible beyond her years, and she finds it increasingly strange that a girl like her has been left alone with such a decrepit inheritance and no adult support.

These reactions help reinforce the story’s growing realization that something deeper and crueler lies behind Oasis Land’s collapse.

As the restoration continues, Mercedes contributes in both practical and emotional ways.

She helps clean the park, praises Eda’s magic during the work, joins the others in deciding to stay and help Frida, and later supports the group’s effort to protect her when the conspiracy around Oasis Land becomes clearer.

When thugs are captured and forced to cooperate, Mercedes is the one who insists that one of them remain behind as collateral, showing a more cautious and level-headed side beneath her usual kindness.

Later, when the group discusses whether Frida should be told the full truth immediately, Mercedes agrees that exposing her to the cruelest details too soon could destroy the fragile trust she has only just begun to build.

Mercedes also participates in Oasis Land’s revival on a more hopeful level.

She encourages ideas for promoting the reopened park, suggests emphasizing special attractions such as the monster water slide Eda has been working on, and continues supporting Frida through the final preparations and successful reopening.

By the end of the story, when Oasis Land is thriving and the guests are satisfied, Mercedes is still there as one of the companions sharing in Frida’s happiness and success.

In this story, she is not the central mover of the plot, but she remains one of its most dependable emotional anchors: kind, observant, practical when needed, and quietly committed to helping Frida feel safe, supported, and no longer alone.

Orbis Gladiatorium

In Orbis Gladiatorium - Preliminaries and Call of the Heavens, Mercedes accompanies Ras and Arky from the very beginning.

She praises Merurin’s ability to find Ras anywhere, helps explain Ras’s deeper reasons for entering the preliminaries to Cartuja, and continues encouraging him as he advances through the tournament.

When Arky becomes seriously sick from overeating on the trip, Mercedes stays behind to care for him so Ras can proceed to F.

I. D. E. L. I. S. without worrying. She later rejoins the others, congratulates Ras and Cerise after Ras’s victory, is present when Ras senses that the Axe of Heavenly Mandate has changed, and appears again at the awards ceremony when Ras is recognized as champion.

Monolith Showdown

In Monolith Showdown, Mercedes has a smaller but still important role around the aftermath of Notos’s interference.

After Ras is thrown back out of the Pyramid with his memories supposedly erased, she worries over his condition and rushes off to fetch a healer when he wakes up disoriented.

At the end of the story, after Notos ascends and Ras regains consciousness, Mercedes is there again to wake him and explain that the others survived the explosion because Tactical Archetype Coli shielded them.

Across these three stories, Mercedes is portrayed as Ras’s dependable companion: calm, observant, compassionate toward people in danger, and consistently present whenever he is pulled into the struggle surrounding the Pyramid and the Monolith.
