Merlimbis, who is described by Tippi as "gentle and loving", was one of the four sages among the Tribe of Ancients. She is thought to have created the Pure Hearts, and therefore the Purity Heart. She is never directly met, only viewed in a stained glass window in Mirror Hall. The strangely-drawn depiction of her seen in this window seems to suggest that, during her life, Merlimbis looked identical to Merluvlee the fortune teller. Indeed, both Tippi and Tiptron state that Merluvlee is a direct descendant of Merlimbis, as is the similar-looking Merlee.
