  • Raised in Xebel, Mera once harbored her people's hatred for Atlantis until she met Aquaman and has since struggled with reconciling her hatred for a time.[2] Mera also possess a quick temper, having landed her in trouble with surface-dwelling authorities on occasion[2] and believes them to often be undeserving of Aquaman's care and love for them.[3]
  • Despite her reservations, she shares the same dream of achieving peace between the surface world and Atlantis, establishing herself as a protector of both land and ocean. Like her husband, she works with the Justice League and earns their respect and friendship.[3][2][1]
  • According to Kelly Sue DeConnick's opinions and characterization of Mera, Mera's character (during the timeframe of Echoes of a Life Lived Well storyline) is short-tempered, practical, strong, and considers her more of a "hawk" than Aquaman and her more rougher while Aquaman has a "gentler strength" in comparison. During her reign, she became disillusion of the Atlantan monarchy overtime, recognizing it as a problem and worked to abolish it.[4]
