Merri Terryl

Merri is from Parallel 81, in which a nuclear conflict between the USA and the USSR in the 1980s has left the Earth a scorched cinder. Merri's family ekes out a subsistence-level existence by farming the irradiated soil in what used to be known as Kansas.

Merri doesn't seem in any way remarkable. She's not powerful, or beautiful, or a natural leader, and she struggles in her classes after arriving at Parallel U. But she soon learns she has a destiny, and that—somehow—the fate of the entire multiverse depends on her. Or more accurately, on what she does before she dies. Which may be soon. Learn more about her in Parallel U. - Freshman Year.
