Merryweather

Merryweather, a character in the Wake the Dead book, is a hippie and an Elder of Sunflower Creek. She is first seen in Chapter 6.

Appearance
Merryweather has light skin, gray hair tied into a bun, one brown and one white eye, several moles on her left cheek, and a burn on the right side of her face. She wears a black jacket, a green sweater, and a multi-colored scarf.

Personality
Merryweather considers herself and the rest of the Sunflower Creek members peaceful and non-violent. At the same time, she can also be described as hypocritical, as she is willing to let others do the dirty work for her and let a child die.

Feather
When Feather comes to you for help, Merryweather says that they have the situation under control and don’t need to involve outsiders. It also seems that Merryweather doesn’t like Feather, as she believes that he broke a cardinal rule and that he’s lucky they allowed him to remain at Sunflower Creek.

Your Character
You meet Merryweather for the first time in Chapter 6, after Feather introduces you to her and the rest of the Elders. At first she is hesitant about forming an alliance with you and doesn’t want to leave her home, but eventually you convince her to do so. She and the other Elders also offer you a number of tree fruit saplings to plant to Olympus.
