Meryl Stryfe

Meryl Stryfe is an agent of the Bernardelli Insurance Company and one of the two main female protagonists of the anime/manga series Trigun, along with her partner Milly Thompson. Unlike Milly, Meryl is hotheaded, strong willed and rather distrusting towards protagonist Vash. Initially, she finds Vash to be a nuisance and dismisses the idea that he is the legendary Humanoid Typhoon. As time passes, she realizes that Vash isn't the villain that he is made out to be nor the buffoon that he presents himself to be. She hides dozens of derringer-style "throwaway" pistols under her travelling cape and is an excellent shot, although she rarely has occasion to use them. Gradually, she comes to respect Vash and love him deeply, though in the anime her love is more romantic than in the manga. Her respect is partially due to the fact that she shares his pacifistic views. Meryl eventually forms a special bond with him that allows her to overcome the obstacles that she is faced with.

She is voiced by Hiromi Tsuru in the Japanese version of the anime and Dorothy Elis-Fahn in the English version. In the English dub of the movie, Trigun: Badlands Rumble, she is voiced by Luci Christian
