Meer is the doppelganger to Lacus Clyne.

 Gilbert Durandal needed to influence the public in order to

realize his Destiny Plan; he found Meer to sound just like Lacus and modified her body to take the
original's place. Posing as Lacus, Meer would become one of the most important and influential
people during the Second Alliance-PLANT War.

Dreaming to be a successful singer, Meer idolized Lacus and wanted to be relevant. So desperate
for fame, she was willing to undergo reconstructive surgery to mirror her idol. Durandal manipulated
her goodwill by asking for her help and she readily accepted. As Meer (posing as Lacus) toured and
gave public speeches, she realized her influential power; she felt confusion over her merits and
success. Meer convinced herself that her achievements are her own and not because of Lacus.

She experienced deep anxiety and an identity crisis when the real Lacus returned. Her insecurities
was further pushed by her minder, Sarah, who knew Meer was fearing for her future. When Sarah
recognized Meer as the true Lacus, it motivated Meer to get rid of Lacus to solidify her identity.
However, after meeting Lacus, Meer realized the error of her ways and intended to join the Clyne
Faction. In an act of selflessness, Meer took a bullet for Lacus and died wishing people to remember
her song. Overall, Meer is a girl that wanted to be loved and didn't felt loved until she wore the skin
of another person.
Skills & Abilities
Singing - With a voice similar to Lacus Clyne, Meer used her singing talents to solidify herself as the
successor to the original Lacus for fame and influence - but much more importantly, to be loved by
others even if that meant they only loved her because they believed her to be Lacus.

History
Early Days
Little is known about Meer's past. However, she's a Coordinator from PLANT. A talented singer,
Meer idolized Lacus Clyne and hoped she could be like her one day. Meer's voice was often
complemented to sound just like Lacus and she hoped to debut with her song(s) one day. Meer
would have her chance when Durandal searched for a doppelganger for Lacus.
After the events of SEED, Gilbert Durandal succeeded Patrick Zala as PLANT's Supreme Council
Chairman and head of ZAFT's military. Durandal wanted to make the world a better place through
his Destiny Plan initiative. In order to realize his goals, he needed influential reach like Lacus Clyne.
Unfortunately, Lacus disappeared after the first Alliance-PLANT War. Lacus secretly moved to Orb
to be with Kira Yamato and looked after the orphaned children. Without the real Lacus, Durandal
opted to find someone to take over Lacus' identity and loyally serve him.
Becoming Lacus Clyne
Before the second Alliance-PLANT War conflict, agents of Durandal discovered Meer's voice
sounding exactly like Lacus and approached her to succeed Lacus. Although Meer thought it was
unusual, her desire for stardom and the chance to become her beloved idol superseded any
suspicions. Meer agreed to undergo reconstructive surgery and it successfully made her into Lacus.
Although excited to become Lacus, the real Lacus always kept her life private; Meer did all the
research she could about her idol to make sure her transformation was complete. After the
transformation process, Meer met her benefactor.

Although Durandal is responsible for turning Meer into Lacus, he didn't see Meer throughout this
time. They met before the start of the second Alliance-PLANT War conflict. During the meeting,
Durandal used his manipulative charm to convince Meer that he needed her help to make the world
a better place. Moved by his reasoning, Meer agreed to pose as Lacus to help him achieve his
plans. In reality, Durandal used Meer as an influential figurehead to pacify opposition and sway
support to his agenda(s).
Second Alliance-PLANT War
After the first Alliance-PLANT War, both sides agreed to a non-aggression pact through the Treaty of
Junius. Unfortunately, both parties never truly resolved their issues with each other. ZAFT secretly
used that time to rebuild their military power and strengthen their defenses. With the Alliance,
members of Blue Cosmos/Logos had taken a stronger hold of the Alliance military. They have also
rebuilt and strengthened their military forces in hopes to eliminate the Coordinators. The second war
started with a declaration of war with a nuclear attack against PLANT. It was in between all of this
that Meer's influence as Lacus would play a major role in the conflict.
Meeting Athrun & First Appearance
Meer was briefed over Lacus' life, but it was based on older information from two years ago. As far
as Meer is concerned (as Lacus), she's engaged to Athrun Zala and loves him. However, nobody
realized that Athrun and Lacus already moved on. Athrun is now engaged to Cagalli Yula
Athha and Kira Yamato is with Lacus. Meer would make her appearance at the start of the Second
Alliance-PLANT War.
When the Alliance declared war against PLANT and launched a surprise nuclear strike, ZAFT
successfully repelled the attack with a powerful weapon called the Neutron Stampeder. It was during
that time Athrun returned to PLANT, he was confused to see an oddly energetic and loving Lacus
embrace him. He was confused over her behavior, but didn't have time to understand the situation
as her minders called her to make a public statement; things would be clarified when Athrun had a
private meeting with Durandal.
