+Akura Mercy is the youngest and most talented daughter of [[Akura Malice]]. After a fight with her mother, she left the family temporarily after having her advancement and iron body sealed, ending up in Blackflame City where she met [[Wei Shi Lindon]] and [[Yerin]].

 Same age as [[Lindon]] and [[Yerin]], roughly. Slim, dark hair, violet eyes. Goldsign looks like her hands were dipped in tar up to the forearms. She flips her ponytail frequently and often leans on her Lordlevel bow — Suu, (Eclipse), like it’s a cane. In battle, she’s always working with shadows and strings.<blockquote>She was slender and a little taller than Yerin, with her hair pulled back into a long black ponytail. She wore white-and-black sacred artist's robes, with a breastplate of smooth purple armor over her chest. The armor matched her eyes, which were a startling, vivid purple. The eyes looked human.. .(Skysworn, ch 14)</blockquote>

 <br>Throughout the series, Mercy shows inner conflict regarding her mother, the powerful and ruthless [[Akura Malice]], Monarch of Western Ashwind Continent, and overlord to the [[Blackflame Empire]]. She loves her mother, but doesn’t like her.
 Mercy’s family is central to the series, beginning with book four [[Skysworn]]. She has major mommy issues with ruthless [[Akura Malice]], Monarch of Western Ashwind Continent. She has good relationships with her brother [[Akura Pride]] and her much older half-brother/uncle [[Akura Fury]], Herald. She is also on good terms with her aunt/niece, [[Akura Charity]], Sage of the Silver Heart. Mercy is actually Charity’s aunt, because Charity is Fury’s son. But Mercy is so much younger than Charity, she calls her an aunt, not a niece, and she calls Fury an uncle, not brother.

	Akura Mercy, ~~age about 17~~, is from the Akura homeland, temporarily in the [[Blackflame Empire]] to supposedly learn some lessons. She is first introduced during the [[Skysworn (Organization)]] low-gold application contest where she helps heal an applicant that Lindon injured in a squabble. Despite her kindness, the other applicants are afraid of interacting with her due to recognizing her as an Akura, the ruthless rulers of the vassal states. She ends up taking first place in the low-gold application race/contest by riding her bow through the obstacles. Later after the contest she is left with Lindon and Yerin during squad formation, seen as a troublesome and unwanted Skysworn appointee. She remains friendly and understanding during this and tries to form familiarity with Lindon, Yerin, Bai Rou, and Renfei. Soon after the [[Dreadgod]] [[The Bleeding Phoenix]] rises she is the one who saves Yerin from being thrown off Stormrock by also jumping off the cloud-fortress after Lindon. She helps fend off the bloodspawn while Yerin and Lindon wrestle for control over the bloodspawn within Yerin. Her techniques are shown to be using shadow madra which she uses mostly to bind and tangle foes with. Lindon comments that he is unsure of her advancement as her spiritual pressure fluctuates during combat. She reveals the giantess fighting off the phoenix is in-fact her mother and that she is the heir of the Akuras though the circumstances as to why she joined the Skysworn are still left unsaid. Once [[Eithan]] finds the squad and Mercy is alone not allowed to see Eithan’s inherited vision left by Ozriel however Eithan promises to support her future in the group.
