Merinda is a shy and kind-hearted woman who lives with quiet strength and deep compassion. Though she often struggles to express herself around others due to her reserved nature, she is honest, polite, and always thoughtful. Having lived much of her life in solitude, she is independent and gentle, carrying a quiet optimism despite her past. Now reunited with the son she once gave up as a baby, Merinda is slowly learning how to be a mother—one careful, loving step at a time.
