Meredy is even worse than Mirajane. At least Mirajane gets to battle. Meredy, on the other hand, had only one real battle, which ended with her almost killing herself before being saved with feelings and memories and crap (but it was somewhat believable with the type of magic she has so it wasnt bullcrap I guess). Now she is back for what reason. She had enough power and skill then to be competitive against Juvia, and 7 years to hone in on her skills, and she hasn't had one flippin fight for herself. I'd think a chick who could attack someone through pain would be a serious fighter, but she hasn't gotten one fight at all. Mashima avoids using her like she is the bubonic plague. It really does get me upset, and halfway through Tartarus I didn't even care about Jellal as much as seeing Meredy because of her lack of character usage. I was hoping ultimate pain would be her vs Kyouka, but now practically all hope is lost for it. Maybe she will shine next arc (and probably end with the same fate as Ultear >.>).
