Meryl

Meryl is a character from Astro Boy (1963) and is a major supporting character in Knights of the Multiverse, introduced in Season 1. She's a Droid created by the New Photon/Saotome Labs with a special coolant installed that allows her to generate ice/freezing blasts. However, she ran away when she found out she was to be scrapped due to how powerful her power was but was eventually saved and found a new home among the Crystal Knights.

Personality
Meryl is a very kind Droid, although a bit naive. She doesn't much care for fighting, best seen by how she didn't want to fight the Knights when they first encountered her and only fought back to try and stop them from attacking her. But overtime, seeing the dangers that villains like the Renegades present made her become a little more lenient and willing to fight to protect herself and her friends.

She's very fearful of being destroyed, a fear which often causes her to make rash decisions to protect herself, sometimes even causing her to unintentionally and uncontrollably release her powers.

Pre-Series
A few months before the events of the main series, Meryl was created by the New Photon/Saotome Labs. She was made to be a prototype coolant tank in order to help put out fires. She was even given a fire-retardant suit & helmet to make her look like some type of new mascot, though even then her artificial skin was already enough to handle the temperatures and pressures of fiery environments. Although she greatly exceeded the P/S Labs' expectations on several levels, many more staff members feared the danger her powers presented - least of all if she should fall into the wrong hands - and called for her to be dismantled immediately. However, head of the lab Sayaka Yumi vehemently fought against this, knowing that the young Droid had a right to live regardless how powerful she was, and certainly didn't deserve that kind of fate. Unfortunately, Meryl caught one of these discussions one evening and, understandably fearing for her life, fled the Lab to protect herself.

Powers & Equipment
Like most Droids, Meryl has very impressive strength and is agile enough to leap great distances.
 * Enhanced Strength & Agility

Meryl is able to dispense a freezing coolant that is stored in a tiny but powerful nitrogen tank in her body. As she's mastered her powers, she's able to manipulate her freezing blasts in many ways.
 * Freezing Coolant


 * Ice Blasts
 * Meryl is able to fire freezing blasts from her hands, which are sometimes strong enough to completely freeze another Droid's body.


 * Ice "Sliding"
 * Meryl is able to generate a stretching pillar of ice that generates beneath her feet that allows her to reach great distances at great speeds.


 * Frost Explosion
 * Meryl releases a huge burst of coolant from her body to cover a large area in ice.

Nyoka
Nyoka was the only person Meryl could call a friend during her time at the Labs, the two being very close. After she and the Knights found her, the two Droids rekindled their old friendship, with Nyoka often being the one that often comes to her side whenever she has one of her panic attacks.

Emily
Though she never met Emily (due to her not coming to the Labs as often as Nyoka did), Meryl has obviously heard a god deal about her and is very impressed by her strength and powers.

Agnes
Meryl took a shining to Agnes thanks to their contrasting powers.
