Meryl Mei Qi
Also known as: Meryl Mei
Meryl Mei Qi is Jodio Joestar's mid-arc Honolulu Stand-user ally alongside Usagi Alohaoe — a Chinese-Hawaiian working-class Stand-user with the Stand Howler (a sound-amplification Stand that produces lethal frequencies for combat and surveillance applications).

Story
The JOJOLands
Part 9 · 2023–presentMeryl's pre-arc biography is depicted across the middle chapters as a Chinese-Hawaiian working-class Stand-user with mixed-heritage Honolulu background. She joins Jodio's team after the gem-trading operation's middle-act expansion and provides combat support across the arc's mid-to-late publication chapters. Her Stand Howler produces lethal-frequency sound-amplification — a structural counterpoint to Usagi's reconnaissance-Stand and Paco's defensive-Stand combat profiles.
