Once Merlina gained the power of Deathcalibur she showed a grin on her face taking joy in the power she had to battle against death as she turned into the Dark Queen Merlina showed pleasure in hurting Sonic as he stood in her way. Merlina became so obsessed with wanting to stop death she was willing to give up all of her good qualities that the kingdom loved about her just to make sure everyone and everything could live forever. Merlina when she needed Sonic's aid to stop the Black Knight and save Arthur's world she saw an opportunity to use him then after the Black Knight's defeat she saw another opportunity to use deathcalibur to stop what she thought was the greatest threat to the kingdom death. While Merlina is wise like her grandfather Merlin but she was delusional to think that she could stop death and to think that her acts of crime could be justified. Her love for life and her fear of death drove Merlina to use terror and acts of terrorism to end death. If becoming a tyrant meant stopping death she was not afraid to do it but despite her evil actions, Merlina feels the tragedy of the world that she loves.

Because she was willing to do anything to save all life in Arthur's kingdom from death she was willing to kill Sonic and the knights if they tried to stop her. She is very protective of the things and friends that she cares about. While useless willing to lend help to Sonic Merlina felt that her oppression was needed to save her world. She feels chaotic and torn about what were the best actions to help save the kingdom she loved. Merlina also is seen almost always in sorrow her sadness is shown when she learns the land will die and shows her sadness after she realizes about her dark actions. She is charismatic she doesn't feel comfortable doing evil cruel things and only does them if she thinks if there is a good reason for them. Merlina is sweet and friendly, but she is also hard on herself when she realizes that she was wrong. Merlina smells the flower and cries, feeling the guilt of the wrong she has done and because she knows that she has shamed her grandfather Merlin because of the bad things she has done. After Sonic hands her the flower that she picked.


Merlina decides to listen to Sonic and value life before it does end instead of trying to making it eternal. When showing her true colors, Merlina would show herself to be calm, cold, and ruthless in achieving her goals (the latter case was shown where she would berate and then beat Sonic for disagreeing with her goals, despite the two initially being allies).Īfter her defeat by Excalibur Sonic, Merlina would return to her old self when Sonic tells her that the brilliance of life is knowing that it will end, and that she should value the time they have. To the people around her, Merlina was a kind, yet strong and wise soul with a strong sense of compassion and every bit of good intention for her kingdom. She had made it her desire to create an everlasting kingdom, Merlina believes that her crimes were necessary, believing that any manipulation was the end that justifies the means, and the sacrifices were for the greater good. Merlina loved the kingdom her grandfather Merlin had created with all of her heart, from the winds that made the meadows dance, to the flowers by the wayside, to the melodious songbirds.Īfter learning the grim fate of her world, Merlina became filled with sorrow, giving her a nihilistic outlook on life, becoming totally convinced that everything in the world doesn't last forever.
