Meryl Stryfe

Meryl Stryfe (メリル・ストライフ|Meriru Sutoraifu) and her junior coworker, Milly Thompson, are agents of the Bernardelli Insurance Society sent to evaluate claims regarding Vash The Stampede.

Biography
Initially, she finds Vash to be a nuisance and dismisses the idea that he is the legendary Humanoid Typhoon. As time passes, she realizes that Vash isn't the villain that he is made out to be nor the buffoon that he presents himself to be. Milly stated that Meryl didn't want to believe this buffoon is Vash. Gradually, she comes to respect Vash and love him deeply. She tries to understand why Vash gets into so much trouble. Vash tells her because of his brother Knives. Vash tells her about his past which Meryl is shock to hear that and she was unable to do anything about it. Although she doesn't often fight alongside Vash, she hides many derringer-style "throwaway" pistols under her coat. She is (not so) secretly in love with Vash and in the credits of the last episode they show Vash coming back to them after his battle with Millions Knives.

At the end of the manga, Meryl and Milly host a TV show about the exploits of Vash.
