Merla here looks a little amused at having been included in the bio page. Sure her role in the harem hasn't been very major, just a quick mention here and there, but we just HAVE to include a former wife of Prince Lotor. Not very long ago, the Amazonian Queen entered into an alliance with Doom. To insure the treaty, King Zarkon married the Queen off to Prince Lotor, an idea neither of them had been very happy about. Shortly after Merla attempted to kill Princess Allura yet again, Lotor divorced her.

However, seeds of romance had already began to bloom in the queen's heart. Her taste had always run to women (Why on her planet, there are no men, neither born, or shipped in from other planets.), but such is the prince, that he became the only man Merla has ever truly loved. They became engaged again, when Lotor and Merla turned to good....alas, it turned out Lotor's conversion had been merely a charade, yet another plot against the Voltron force.

Heartbroken, Merla broke off the engagement, and returned to her planet, where she now fights on the side of good, sometimes lending a helping hand to the Voltron force. She rarely speaks to the prince, though she did deigned to help his Scribes, Tamy and Michelle when their magical abilities got out of control, specifically Michelle's telepathic abilities, for the Queen is the most powerful in the galaxy when it comes to magic of the mind.
