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 advisor, 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 (possibly due to her past). That at least is part of the reason of 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. There are some shadows and demons in her past that she has been afraid to tell anyone until the takeover of Yhilin.

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 true name, even if she did eventually embrace it. The original Lady Megail was a stupid and cruel girl around the same age as the current Megail who practiced slavery and destroyed the family fortune with selfish and cruel whims.

Megail was the girl's personal slave and was used for a variety of torture. She was also horrified seeing all the money, more than she previously seen, thrown away in such a haphazard manner. So one day, when her mistress was particularly nasty and seemed like she might actually kill her, she strangled her and took her place. Almost nobody knew the real Megail, and the ones who did know either chose to say nothing (servants) or had a horrible accident (some visiting aunt).

Megail does not 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.)
