DUCHESS MERCEDES

[admin]

DUCHESS MERCEDES is Lady Dolores' older sister. Among breeders, she's the greatest of her generation, and her arrogance is palpable. Where her sister is all-accepting, Mercedes believes in merit. She sneers at docility and complacency, but she applauds anyone that gets results.

"You will fight the scourge? You, after those better than you have failed? Well, I suppose it's easy for fools to be brave."

Mercedes was one of the breeders worst hit by the scourge. One of the first responders to the disaster, she took an army of her beast pokemon to Nerio City. She saved many, but without the vaccine her own pokemon succumbed to the virus. The Association ordered her to retreat, and she uncharacteristically obeyed. On Bellona Hills, Mercedes culled her own infected pokemon.

Mercedes is the leader of the Order of the Beast and thus a Duchess. She spends most of her spare time intimidating Professor Cypress into sending her vaccines, and so she's slowly building up a new army of vaccinated pokemon. He is terrified of her.

Though she carries herself with refined elegance, Mercedes loathes wasting time over tea and crumpets. She intends to return to the frontlines when she is ready. In the meantime, she's willing to talk to eos breeders and maybe help them out. She promised her sister she'd consider it, anyway.
