Megail

Megail is a shrewd and reserved Yhilini merchant whose business relationship with Simon evolves into a much more intimate one, partially because of the actions of her rival merchant Reval. As one of the non-combat companions, she is Simon's financial adviser, managing his bookkeeping and investments.

Story
You first meet her in the trading camp and from the very first meeting, you get a clear picture that she is a woman with a need to be in control. That at least is part of the reason for her outburst after the first sexual encounter with Simon. At first glance, she is only interested in business and profit, but she has more scruples that she lets on. Also she is not afraid to make compensation for her mistakes:

However she was betting that Simon wouldn't do that, saying that if he had, she'd have worried she'd misjudged his character. Later she expresses her feelings:

She is not afraid of speaking her mind and although sometimes she seems to be a bit bitchy, she is not timid and doesn't seem to have any troubles exerting her leadership when the situation calls for it.

Megail's past
Once Simon resolves her reconstruction quest, she finally opens up about her past. In reality, she is not from the merchant family she claimed to be from; and Megail is not even her original name. The original Lady Megail was a stupid, cruel girl around the same age as the current Megail who destroyed the family fortune with her selfish and cruel whims.

Megail was taken from the slums and enslaved, and was badly mistreated by the Lady Megail. She was horrified seeing all the money, more than she had ever previously seen, thrown away in such a haphazard and wasteful manner. So one day, when her mistress was particularly brutal and seemed like she might actually kill her, so she strangled her and took her name and place. Almost nobody knew the original Megail and their looks were similar enough that the servants of the original Megail were either too old to notice or chose to say nothing. A visiting aunt was killed in a horrible accident when she knew realized that her niece wasn't actually niece.

Megail doesn't give another name for Simon to call her by, saying "Megail is my name. It was the first thing I earned for myself".

Relationship points
Maximum affection is 100, at which you can have a conversation with the harem girl that will lock her affection there.

The way to Megail's heart is through her business ledger. She approves more of Simon if he does well in business or makes financially-savvy investments. Though she displays a slight tendency toward "good" choices, it's usually for profit-oriented reasons. (Or at least that is the image she maintains.)
