'''Meena''' ('''Nara''' in the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] version) is a playable character from ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''.
 
==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 everywhere, which she uses to tell fortunes.
[[File:MeenaDQIVDSArtwork.png|thumb|left|150px|Meena in the PlayStation remake]]
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 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 miniscule amount for gold for her fortune-telling services.
 
==Story==
Chapter 4 is set 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.
 
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, its only other occupant points them to a secret exit, and after they escape they flee directly to [[Endor]].
 
In 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 (Dragon Quest IV)|Hero]] 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 and joins the party.
 
The two are briefly separated in [[Con Cave]] and are approached by demonic doppelgangers of The Hero (while The Hero 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 Chapter 5, the party confronts Balzack, at Castle [[Zamoksva]]. He has used an imperfect version of the Secret of Evolution to become [[Baalzack]], but the party is still able to kill him, avenging the death of the sisters' father.
 
==Abilities==
In the ''[[Dragon Quest III]]'' class system, Meena is a [[priest]]. As a spell caster, Meena posses low Strength, Resilience, and HP, but high Wisdom, Luck, and MP, and many useful healing and buff spells. As the sole character with access to the vital [[Insulatele]] spell, she is a crucial ally against the [[Lord of the Underworld|Estark]] and other bosses that rely on breath weapons.

===[[Silver Tarot Cards]]===
One of Meena's most unique traits is her ability to read her [[Silver Tarot Cards]] during battle, with each drawn card causing a unique effect. The effects of the cards ignore any resistances a monster may normally have, save for bosses. If the player orders her to divine more than three times during a single battle, the Fool card will always be drawn.
