Appearance
Inez has straight black hair, with a streak of dyed red hair (a result of something she did with her friends). Her hair is almost always found in a ponytail, and the only times it is not in a ponytail is when she's sleeping, showering, or just too lazy to put them on. Her eyes are a very dark shade of brown, only appears to be brown while under sunlight, or if you look very carefully.

Backstory
Inez was born to Pandora Merrils (nee Prates) and Colin Merrils. She is the 4th child out of 6 children. Both her parents run a very succesful family business that has been passed down by generations (this gives her a high reputation in the academy), the next owner being her older brothers. Everyone in her family is always doing one thing or another, therefore no one really give thoughts to one another unless they're on holiday or it's Reaping Day. Because of this family "interaction", Inez always comes home from school at around 7 pm, taking the time to do some training. Because she's got no one to talk to in her family, she vents most of her problems (and secrets) to her best friends.

Family
Because of their tight schedules, Inez's family rarely have time to go out and do activities together, like every other normal family. The only time they interact with each other is during mealtimes, and the only interaction is some light and quick conversations around the table. Because of this, Inez prefers to keep her secrets to herself or tell them to a best friend. The closest person to her in the family is her sister, but even they don't spend too much time together as they did when they were young.

Friends
Her friends are the only people she trusts, more than her family. Though a bit small, they stick with each other in good times and bad times.

Betty Wrenn
Betty is probably Inez's closest friend, as it was she who first approached Inez on her first day in the Academy. Despite not wanting to get into trouble, she is forced into Inez's antics, yet she mostly enjoys it and goes along with it. She is the youngest of the group, and absolutely loves attention.

Susan Adove
Susan in pretty much the mother of the group, even though she is the second youngest. She keeps everybody in line (sometimes), and gets very competitive when it comes to grades. At the same time, she is also dating Henry, another one of Inez's friends. At first, Inez and Susan seem like an unlikely match, but at the end, all's well that ends well.

Henry Luard
They became friends when they played hangman together after finishing a group project. They have quite similar interests such as sending random memes, or placing bets on a lot of things. But they also have an equal amount of disagreements, and sometimes the argument gets very heated they end up having competitions just to prove who is right, and Susan ends up trying to stop them from doing so.

Cole McIntyre
A humorous person, yet he keeps lots of things to himself since the time Henry accidentally let out that he had a crush on someone else in the class. Inez and Cole started out as friends, yet as time flies, Inez grew to have a crush on Cole. She's told all her friends, and even though Cole keeps making signs, the signs went on and off. But Inez still liked him (or obsessed as her friends would call it) even though she knows she'll never be perfect enough for him.

Trivia

 * The name Inez and her friend Betty was inspired by Taylor Swift's song 'betty'
 * I started writing out plans for Inez's character while coming home from my Grandma's house
