Given how many TLSQ she shoves her way into for no reason, I'm amazed she isn't on our friends list by the end of year 3 despite literally wanting us dead a dozen times over in the main story And we can even date her for some reason


JustSomeEyes

and while she calms down once you hit year 4...she still remains an annoying entitled brat, that genuinely believe that the world is in debt with her because she exists, and that is kind of a blessing(in her mind) that people should pay for XD. <- yeah this is the level of her ego.


xxHopeStarCrossxx

>And we can even date her for some reason It’s so unfair how we can date her but not Rath.


standupgonewild

The TRUE enemies to lovers. Especially since MC and Rath are legitimate rivals (how does that work if your MC is in Slytherin?)


Capable-Baker-1510

She’s just in her default house which is Ravenclaw if the MC is a Slytherin


standupgonewild

Ohhhhhh I didn’t realise that!! I thought her natural house was Slytherin! Cool as, thank you for telling me!


seafli78

Has anyone dated her. Does she get nicer if you do. I just got to year 3 can’t date yet. I would think if you were dating her you’d find your brother faster.


Adept-Tomorrow-8484

Right??? Why is merula always around like


Early-Objective4041

She’s supposed to hate us and yet she’s always there


ChildofFenris1

Like I don’t like you. And you bully my friends go away.


Intrepid-Breath-5583

Honestly i just wish we could actually chose our friends and not meed to be friend with over 10 people just so we can progress in the game


Conlannalnoc

Ban BEN and Penny? Gain Ismelda AND Merula? You have my support!


Gullible-Win-5471

I get why ban BEN but Penny?? Why she's a good friend


Conlannalnoc

Penny tries to pull a Love Potion dose on the MC instead of the normal “just Date Jacob’s sibling”.


luckiesthydra

I was not expecting to learn this while reading the comments, when the hell does she do THAT? Instantly put her from a mid tier friend to actual enemy in my books if that's correct.


mikahylah

I’m not to that part yet, but the wiki says that she brewed it to trade with someone else for something we need, not to dose us with it. I guess she could try to do that still, but it says nothing about it. Imelda, on the other hand, does dose Barnaby.


Conlannalnoc

I give Ismelda dosing Barnaby a Pass only because one specific Valentines Day Side Quest has you try to help Barnaby realize that Ismelda LOVES him. You do everything Correct to help Ismelda and Barnaby “is so dumb” that he Ignores it and asks you to be is Valentine and even after saying NO you still cannot Set Up Barnaby/Ismelda. I still Ship them (now), but WTF Jam City?! I finish the Ismelda LOVES Barnaby Quest and it’s “Oh, Barnaby only focuses on Jacob’s Sibling.”


Intrepid-Breath-5583

Perosnally i wouldn't be friends with Merula or Ismelda or Ben,they all either annoy me or anguer me


Conlannalnoc

You are Year 4… Me I’m in Beyond plus I decided to date Merula as soon as I met her Year 1. Full on Wayne’s World moment for “Jacob’s Brother”. Hufflepuff dates Slytherin. JC generic story (NO Side Stories) has a VASTLY different version of Merula from “Side Story Merula”. As one Beyond Date says “I like being the only one you are nice to.”


Intrepid-Breath-5583

I'm on year 4 in my current account bc my first one which i had been playing since the game came out i was in year 6


Intrepid-Breath-5583

And i also got a lot of spoilers about how Merula develops,i still don't care about her


Confident-Band-1218

Banning Ben...well after he changed badly I really want to unfriend him. Penny is nice, and about ismelda and merula...ismelda is just... Ismelda, U know. Merula changed a lot over the years, I don't wanna spoiler, so enough 'bout them :))


TheGoatx88

Badeea is so dull, I would replace her gladly for Merula


Conlannalnoc

I keep forgetting about her despite her being the ONLY Sphinx Club member in Beyond (post Year 7) you can choose. Penny Tonks ( or 1 per week Bill Weasley) Badeea One person per club.


TheGoatx88

Yeah indeed. Seems we get down voted for not liking some "friends" and liking Merula😂😂😂. Soft


Conlannalnoc

Reddit is a HIVE MIND and you get punished for “Wrong Think”. Obey the Majority for Up Votes. Express Individuality for Down Votes.


WubstahWulf

I feel like merula needs to get her own story arc if she hasn't already that will make people appreciate her more, Since the fact she is always there means she cares enough to be around us and compete despite her flaws and she isn't a bad character but just misunderstood in general


Ivanhunterjo1991

Why are you so obsessed with me, Merula?


Conlannalnoc

Tsundere


Impossible_Thing9634

She’s there because Dumbledore said you have to invite everyone


ChildofFenris1

Uhhhg fine!


Budgiejen

Is that her name in another language?


LegitimateWhereas248

I think they just misspelled it


ChildofFenris1

Probably am a bed speller and I was to lazy to check


rajshay

I hate that Merula is even a date option. Also she is like the enemy in main chapters and a best friend in side quests and tlsqs.


JustSomeEyes

she is the cause of MC's problems in most of side-quests


ChildofFenris1

Best friend my but she said she’s there so no lies gets spread about me.


WubstahWulf

That's because the side quest are usually based around the fact the game assumes you are somewhere or close to nearing beyond, Most new quest like that it just assumes you are at end game even when it doesn't make sense


JustSomeEyes

She is there because i believe everyone secretly pity Merula, or they're so wary of her, that they would rather have her in their sight, than elsewhere while probably plotting something annoying XD


ChildofFenris1

No I don’t pity her. I hate her.


JustSomeEyes

by everyone i meant "MC's friends", not the players.


ChildofFenris1

I doubt Bill and Rowan fell bed for her


Lost-Salamander-3645

Reality is, that it is not about what we want, it is about what some members of Jam City want. We don´t know their personalities, or their grade of evilness or with how much irony they like to take life, all they are is computer programmers. That is the problem with this game. It is not thought with psycology, it is thought with some computer programmers that decided this.


Lost-Salamander-3645

Because Jam City has inconsistencies.


Agitated_Pin2169

My one MC is a Hufflepuff and genuinely likes everyone She finds Merula annoying but also feels sorry for her and likes the occasional glimpses we get of the person beneath the hard shell. But again, she likes literally everyone. My other MC is a Ravenclaw and thinks things through logically and knows Merula is all bark and no bite and that she can be annoying but she is also useful because she has an entire knowledge set my MC does not.


Takdel

How did you get 2 characters?


Agitated_Pin2169

I play on two devices :). An Android phone and an iPad.


Excellent_Scheme_644

deux parties sur deux jeux différents.


Grammarrrrrr

Like if you hate me, Merula, why do you seem so obsessed with me????


ChildofFenris1

Thank you!


WubstahWulf

Because she is your rival and wants to compete


EasternStandardTim

Merulas bad, sure, but when you get the side quest to help ismelda with her crush, (who just so happens to be my characters boyfriend) ur blood will really boil


Eyelikeyourname

I hate how she always hangs out with the player in side quests and is back to her nastiness in the main story. *A very Weasley Christmas tlsq spoilers* I find it hard to believe that >!a bully like this actually visited the burrow in a side quest!<


zenongirlofthe21st

I totally agree, I have never liked her and make it clear to her in every choice the game gives me, but im still forced to interact with her😭


ChildofFenris1

Like I hate you, you hate me, now please leave me alone forever!


Deya_The_Fateless

If it's not Merula it's Penny, I am tired of both of them.


lakegirl98

or Ben coming along and complaining about being scared the whole time


Sindel910

Ijbol it's so true- I grew to like her over time but it took a lot of effort. Not like more tolerate 😌


roses-in-the-woods77

You have my biggest agreement. Like, whenever MC gathered her friends around, Merula was always there. She isn't MC's friend, she hates MC and she wanted MC dead several times ffs. No one would do these things to the person they consider a friend and/or a love interest. No one.


ChildofFenris1

Thank you! Like I hate you, you hate, you bully my friends so go away.


Locksley_1989

People love tsunderes.


ChildofFenris1

Huh


Darth_Karasu

Send her to me, you can have Barnaby in exchange.


ChildofFenris1

Sure he’s already here and he is actually my friend

Conlannalnoc

She’s the BEST Girlfriend material ESPECIALLY if you choose her for EVERY Side Mission.


Sundery4

I 100% agree. Also, she clearly is the most canon one even for JC. She is the only one who is not in our friend list (no friendzone), she's the only girl whose relationship has a real impact on the main story (very important fact, talking about "canon" stuff), She is the only girl for whom MC actually shows physical interest and this can be seen from the quick phrases during the lessons (when clicking on Merula, she often says phrases like "what you mean "you had a dream about me?" or "you stare at me while you fly and stare at me now, what do you want?" and many others). She is the classic "enemy to lover" and JC seems to love it too.


sleepaye

thought i was “different” for liking her for the first few years. now i cannot be in the vicinity of that neanderthal without getting pissed off. idgaf what she has to say, i’ll be tapping through her dialogue just to get her off my screen 💀


PomBee00

Because She's obsessed with MC.


PomBee00

And I love it.


Early-Objective4041

Yes ! She always comes when we’re here and yet she’s supposed to hate us


ChildofFenris1

And so hate her to!


WubstahWulf

Merula is your friend she is like a Tsundere hard from outside soft from the inside, over time especially around the sixed year She will become nicer to you and be on good terms

Your post was removed because it does not follow the proper format for a spoiler post. A spoiler is anything that gives away a plot point, character appearance, or event. New locations are not seen as a spoiler. All years have to be treated as spoilers, including year one and two. IMPORTANT: Indicate the year and chapter of the spoiler by using the "Year [ ] Chapter [ ]" flair and filling in the blanks. If it's a side quest, use the [Quest Name] TLSQ flair instead. Do not put spoilers in the title or in the caption for the first image. Use the following guide if you are having an issue setting up spoiler or editable flairs. https://www.reddit.com/r/HPHogwartsMystery/comments/fjaox0/new_spoiler_rule_new_year_and_chapter_flair_and/

Chill, it's a game😭😭


ChildofFenris1

Yeah so I get invested


Conlannalnoc

_BoundlessSpace_

Well, it’s not YOUR story that’s EMMA’s story (JC’s main character who you can see in loading screen). YOUR choices or opinions don’t matter. Rude? Maybe but that’s the sad truth. So you should adapt your roleplay for JC’s vision on story (Merula and Penny would participate in EVERY TLSQ for example) or it’ll be a lot of problems and inconsistencies with your headcanon in the future.


ChildofFenris1

I don’t care it is MY story am the one playing


Eyelikeyourname

That's pretty rude. Its an rpg and people can have any headcanon they want. Emma just appears on the loading screens and she's pretty inconsistent herself. She used to be in Hufflepuff and now she's in Gryffindor. If JC itself can't stay consistent then why should everyone else care about what is or isn't canon in this game?? Why even bother with house and character customisation if only Emma matters. There's no point to a rpg game if one can't customise the game and story how they like.


Defiant_Ghost

You can literally make her disappear in all your headcanons.
