About

Merope is one of the seven sisters of the Pleiades, represented as a hanging eight-pointed star that poofs fire from each tip. Originally built as part of the Seven Sisters sculpture in 2004, she was rebuilt from scratch in 2012 using stainless steel.

Effects

Merope poofs fire from each of her tips and blows brightly-glowing sparks out of the “sparkle poofer” in her center.
