[[Maya | [[Maya]] 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 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 realises it is her destiny to help them defeat the [[Psaro the Manslayer|Evil One]]. | ||

Meena is nearly the spitting image of | Meena is nearly the spitting image of [[Maya]], her older sister. She dresses much more conservatively compared to her sister, though they wear identical silver headpieces, earrings, and chokers. Meena wears a saffron-coloured skirt that reaches down to her ankles covered by an orange [[Wikipedia:Sari|sari]]-like garment that leaves her right arm exposed, along with a pair of sandals. Around her waist, she wears a silver belt and a longer silver chain that goes over her skirt, both with dangling green jewels. 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. In ''Dragon Quest Heroes II'', the sleeve on her garment is detached, leaving both of her shoulders exposed. She wears a silver armband with a blue jewel at the top of her sleeve and there are floral and leaf patterns embroidered on her clothing. She also wears a white chemise underneath her skirt. | ||

This disposition leads her to often scold her sister for her poor judgement regarding their [[Gold|money]], and her general laid-back demeanour. 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 [[Mahabala|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. | ||

She has sole access to the [[Woosh]] series of spells which give her more reliable offensive utility than Kiryl's [[Whack]] spells, but she is only able to heal one character at a time, whereas the former will learn [[Multiheal]]. Relying on Meena to revive deceased allies is a gamble as she only learns [[Zing]], but in dire circumstances she is an asset with the party-restoring [[Kerplunk]]—this spell alone can completely turn the tide of battle and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat at the cost of her own life. Meena is also the only chosen one to learn the vital [[Insulatle]] spell, making her a crucial ally against the [[Estark|Lord of the Underworld]] and other enemies that rely on [[Breath attack|breath attacks]]. | ||

She also enjoys a higher-than-average {{Strength}} when compared to the other magical characters until her sister's Strength rises suddenly at higher levels. Meena has access to some powerful equipment such as the [[Falcon knife earrings]] and [[Liquid metal sword]], but she will be quickly surpassed in physical combat by Ragnar and Alena unless [[Seed of Strength|seeds]] are applied to boost her might. Her armour choices will be mostly limited to clothing, robes, and hats for magic users, but late in the game, she is able to equip all three pieces of the liquid metal equipment. | ||

*There are a pair of sisters in [[Greenthumb Gardens]] | *There are a pair of unnamed sisters in {{Dragon Quest VII}} that are a reference to Meena and her sister Maya during the party's first visit to [[Greenthumb Gardens]]. The younger sister is said to spend all of her time with her crystal ball and reading tarot cards, while the older one spends all of their hard-earned money at casinos and is on the lookout for a handsome suitor. Ironically, the younger one is dressed like a dancer, while the older sister is dressed more modestly. | ||
