Merry Nightmare

Merry Nightmare is the female protagonist of Yumekui Merry. She is a dream demon who is the gatekeeper of the door that connects the Dream World from the Real World. Unlike the other dream demons, she doesn't need to possess a human to enter the real world, as she has her own body. Searching for a door to come back to the Dreamworld, she falls on Yumeji one day, who wants to help her to find her way back home. At first reluctant, when a daydream occurs and when she saves Yumeji's life, she accepts his help. She takes the appearance of a young teenage girl with purple hair, and green eyes with rectangular pupils (which change between black and white). She always has her trademark white hat, with a pink insignia in the middle, and ribbons on sides (right and left) coming out of it. Her upper body attire is a white overcoat whose coattails are curled, and a camisole undershirt that has a design that looks like a "Z". Her lower body consists of a white skirt with, black and white stockings, and black shoes with the insignia mark. She also wears a cloth that's on her right wrist which covers a scar. She has once worn a maid's outfit when Isana's father makes her work at the Tachibana's restaurant. The author of the manga said that Merry's clothes are based on a sheep. In the flashback at the beginning of the manga, Merry is shown wearing a plain white sundress and a hat similar to the one she has now but without the closed eye design on it. Merry is very energetic. She has a deep trust in Yumeji, who promised to take her back to the Dreamworld. She would often look for support in him. At the time when Engi told Merry that she has been killing dream demons instead of sending them back. Merry fell in despair and tried to convince herself that it wasn't true. She also tried to leave Yumeji when they went on a trip to the beach, but Yumeji chased after her immediately and convinced her not to run away - this cost him a broken ankle. Merry can't eat spicy food or drink soda (though she was originally really excited to try cola after Yumeji first explained it to her), but she loves doughnuts above everything and likes video games a lot. She currently works at the Tachibana's restaurant, the STO cafe. Merry seems to have a problem with tact, as she constantly says things at the wrong time that cause Yumeji and others further problems, such as the time when Isana first meet Yui when she tells Isana she was off eating donuts instead of staying with Yumeji like she was supposed to.
