Meriku was born on Dantooine in the year 3,624 BBY in a farm settlement near the Ruins of the Jedi Enclave. Faced with the constant threat of Mandalorian Raiders, her parents gave her to the Jedi Order when she was discovered to be force sensitive at the age of 3 so that she could live a life without suffering. Meriku has always been a bit rebellious when it comes to her training. She constantly breaks rules, using her skills in stealth to spy on other Jedi, and even going as far as to slice into terminals and forge documents. She's impatient at times, yet she is compassionate and strong willed. She is talented in lightsaber combat, a skilled infiltrator, a master of Echani hand-to-hand combat techniques, and very strong in the force.
