Meryl Mei Qi

Meryl May Qi (マリル・メイ・チー) is a character featured in The JOJOLands. Outwardly, she is the boss of Dragona's workplace, and is the principal of McKinley High School, which Jodio attends. However, these are merely fronts to her true role of being the leader of a gang, which Jodio, Dragona, Paco, and a fourth member are a part of.

Appearance
Meryl is a large woman with a thick build, being significantly taller than the other members of the gang. She wears a stylish dress, similar to a Muumuu, which is patterned with leaf print and splits at her hip, decorated with fringes along her waist.

She wears her long, dark hair pulled into a ponytail, piled onto the top of her head. She also wears lightly colored simple stud earrings.

Personality
Meryl is a highly respected and lovable public figure. Her students always happily greet her in the mornings, and she returns the kind favor herself. She is very talented and knowledgeable in design, being the owner of Iko Iko and designer of all the goods they sale. Even Jodio notes her fashion know-how, stating that with her abilities, she could be well known even in the likes of Paris and Milan if she wanted to.

She is known to be extremely cautious and careful in her dealings with the criminal underworld, keeping all of her personal information private, and using her boutique as a front for money laundering, to keep her ill-gotten money from being traced. Meryl also appears to be a rather social butterfly in the underworld, having informants in Hawaiian customs and even having a good connection to the black market, making it possible to sell a large diamond without much apparent risk.

Background
Meryl is stated to have a husband and child, though nothing more on her personal life is known.

As for her jobs, she is the principal of Honolulu's McKinley High School, as well as owning a Fashion Boutique in the Kalihi neighborhood, in which she has created the merchandise and posters within the store, herself. At some point in her life, she became a figure in the criminal underworld of Hawaii, seeming to run a rather successful criminal organization that deals in things ranging from heists, drug deals, and more.

The JOJOLands
At the Iko Iko Boutique, Meryl calls on Jodio, Dragona, Paco, and another student to steal a wealthy Japanese tourist's natural 24-carat blue diamond.
