'''Meena Mahabala''' is a playable character in {{DQ4}}, and a major {{NPC}} in {{DQ10}}.
'''Meena Mahabala''' is a playable character in {{Dragon Quest IV}}, and a major {{NPC}} in {{Dragon Quest X}}.


[[Maya Mahabala]] is her older sister, though characters frequently mistake Meena to be the older sibling due to her relative maturity and seriousness. She is a fortune teller and a priestess on a quest to avenge her father with her sister. She becomes the first of the {{Hero 4}}'s companions after reading their fortune and realizes it is her destiny to help them defeat the [[Psaro the Manslayer|Evil One]].

==Appearance and Personality==
==Appearance and Personality==
Meena is nearly the spitting image of {{Maya}}, her older sister. She dresses much more conservatively compared to her sister, though they wear identical headpieces. Meena carries a crystal ball with her everywhere, which she uses to tell fortunes. While she and her sister both have long purple hair, Meena does not have bangs/fringe.

Meena is an extremely reserved and quiet person, and very rational. This disposition leads her to often scold her sister for her poor judgement regarding their [[Gold|money]], and her general laid-back demeanor. But, despite these stern traits, she is still a very kind person at heart, looking out for her sister when the two set out to avenge their father's murder, and charging only a minuscule amount of gold for her fortune-telling services. During her travels with the rest of the [[Chosen Ones]], Meena will occasionally have cryptic visions of the near future.

{{DQ4 Chapter 4}} begins with {{Maya}} and Meena performing at the town, [[Laissez Fayre]], which is populated almost entirely by entertainers and tourists. They use their job as a cover and the town as a base to investigate the murder of their father, a prominent alchemist. Though they suspect his apprentice, [[Balzack]], killed him in order to steal the [[Secret of Evolution]], they have nothing to back up their claims, and keep them to themselves for the time being.
{{DQ4 Chapter 4}} begins with {{Maya}} and Meena performing at the town, [[Laissez Fayre]], which is populated almost entirely by entertainers and tourists. They use their job as a cover and the town as a base to investigate the murder of their father [[Mahabala] ], a prominent alchemist. Though they suspect his apprentice, [[Balzack]], killed him in order to steal the [[Secret of Evolution]], they have nothing to back up their claims, and keep them to themselves for the time being.


After following the trail through several towns across the entire country, they finally confronted the murderer at his [[Palais de Léon|castle]]. Unfortunately, despite their best efforts, his true [[Marquis de Léon|King]] arrives to soundly defeat them in battle and throws them into the dungeon. Luckily, the only other occupant points them to a secret exit, and after they escape, they flee directly to [[Endor]].

In {{DQ4 Chapter 5}}, Meena is attempting to continue her fortune-telling business, but {{Maya}} blows all the [[gold]] they'd earned on their journey at the [[Casino]], leaving them fairly stranded in the city. Luckily, the {{Hero 4}} has been told to seek out his destined allies, and locates {{Maya}} and Meena in short order. When Meena reads his fortune, she realizes that he is the prophesied {{Hero 4}} and immediately joins the {{Party 4}}.

The two are briefly separated in [[Con Cave]] and are approached by demonic doppelgangers of The {{Hero 4}} (while The {{Hero 4}} also battled doppelgangers of the sisters). When coming across the real Hero, Meena is more trusting while {{Maya}} quizzed him/her. Afterwards, they regroup and find the [[Symbol of faith]].

A while later in {{DQ4 Chapter 5}}, the {{Party 4}} confronts [[Balzack]], at Castle [[Zamoksva]]. He has used an imperfect version of the Secret of Evolution to become [[Balzack|Baalzack]], but the {{Party 4}} is still able to kill him, avenging the death of the sisters' father at long last.
