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 Meena 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 a town 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.
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 confront the murderer at his castle. Unfortunately, despite their best efforts he soundly defeats 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]].
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.

A while later in Chapter 5, the party confronts Balzack, at Castle Zamokvsa. 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.
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]].

===[[Silver Tarot Cards]]===
One of Meena's most unique traits is her ability to read her [[Silver Tarot Cards]] during battle, with each card causing a very different effect. It seems that when you use the Silver Tarot Cards a lot, you would always draw the Fool.
