Mercedes is a Hero Bowman released during the MapleStory: Legends Update.

Mercedes is one of the six Heroes who sealed away the Black Mage. She is the Queen of the Elves, ruling in a secluded town known as Elluel.

Awakening from the Black Mage's curse centuries later, Mercedes finds that her people, who had been frozen alongside her from the Black Mage's curse, are still asleep. Now alone in a changed world, Mercedes strives to regain her old strength, find new allies, and break the curse on the elves.

Story

Main article: Mercedes/Story

Mercedes was one of the six Heroes who united together to face the Black Mage centuries ago. As the queen of elves, Mercedes joined the battle in order to protect her people from the Black Mage and his forces. Following the battle at the Temple of Time, the Black Mage was sealed away, though he unleashed curse upon all the Heroes to be sealed in ice. As the destiny of all the elves was tied to their ruler, the curse upon Mercedes' was shared with the other elves of Elluel, sealing them all in ice. Centuries later, Mercedes awoke from the ice and was shocked to find that her people were still frozen, as well as that her strength had almost completely been drained. After struggling to become stronger, Mercedes set out into the world and learned that centuries had passed since her time. Though she struggled against her feelings of hopelessness at being weak and alone in a changed world, Mercedes vowed to never give up and continued growing stronger.

Soon enough, the three elders - Philius, Astilda, and Danika - awoke and called Mercedes back to Elluel. They realized that the curse on the elves weakened as Mercedes grew stronger, which was why the elders - the strongest of the elves - had awakened first. Mercedes then realized that in order to free the rest of her people, she would need to return back to her full strength. In order to find allies, Mercedes sought out Athena Pierce, who had been unaffected by the curse because of the elven treasure Mistelteinn, which she had given to a young Athena centuries ago to safeguard. Soon after, however, Mercedes found herself the target of the Black Wings, who attacked the elven city. Realizing that Elluel had no defenses, Mercedes sought out Empress Cygnus, who dispatched the Cygnus Knights to protect Elluel.

Despite this, the Black Wings continued attacking Elluel while Mercedes was away by poisoning the water supply, forcing her to return back home and drive them out. As she continued growing stronger, the Black Wings set up several ambushes to kill Mercedes. On one occasion, the Shadow Knight was dispatched to eliminate Mercedes, who defeated him and learned that the one who had given him his orders knew her personally. On another occasion, Hiver and Dargoth lured her into a trap by spreading rumors of a way to lift the curse on the elves, though Mercedes managed to best them and escape. Soon after, Mercedes learned that an elf child had been taken by Baroq, who had shapeshifted himself as Mercedes in order to unfreeze the child and take them from Elluel. Mercedes traveled to the Verne Mine in order to get the child back and learned that Orchid was the one who had ordered the Black Wings to attack the elves. Mercedes managed to defeat Orchid, who was weaker without Lotus at her side, and took the elf child back to Elluel safely.

After the Black Mage was unsealed, Cygnus - troubled by his return and rumors from the Gate to the Future - called Mercedes to Ereve and asked her for advice about creating a worldwide alliance. With Mercedes' counsel, Cygnus officially spread the call for Maple World to unite together under the banner of the Maple Alliance in order to fight the Black Mage and his forces. As the Alliance continued to do battle with the Black Mage's forces, Mercedes reunited with the other Heroes in order to face off against Damien and his demon army. Together, the Heroes retraced Freud's footsteps in order to locate the Abyss Crystal on Friends World. After Damien stole the crystal and used it to take Alicia's powers, Mercedes and the other Heroes fought and defeated him, restoring Maple World's vitality back to the land.
