'''Meena Mahabala''' is a playable character in {{Dragon Quest IV}}, and a major {{NPC}} in {{Dragon Quest X}}.

[[Maya Mahabala]] is her older sister, though characters frequently mistake Meena to be the older sibling due to her relative maturity and seriousness. She is a fortune teller and a priestess on a quest to avenge her father with her sister. She becomes the first of the {{Hero 4}}'s companions after reading their fortune and realizes it is her destiny to help them defeat the [[Psaro the Manslayer|Evil One]].

She joined her sister as one of the playable characters in {{DQH2}} and is one of the original leader characters in {{DQRivals}}.

==Appearance and Personality==
Meena is nearly the spitting image of {{Maya}}, her older sister. She dresses much more conservatively compared to her sister, though they wear identical headpieces. Meena carries a crystal ball with her everywhere, which she uses to tell fortunes. While she and her sister both have long purple hair, Meena does not have bangs/fringe.

Meena is an extremely reserved and quiet person, and very rational. This disposition leads her to often scold her sister for her poor judgement regarding their [[Gold|money]], and her general laid-back demeanor. But, despite these stern traits, she is still a very kind person at heart, looking out for her sister when the two set out to avenge their [[Mahabala|father]]'s murder, and charging only a minuscule amount of gold for her fortune-telling services. During her travels with the rest of the [[Chosen Ones]], Meena will occasionally have cryptic visions of the near future.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ4}}===
{{DQ4 Chapter 4}} begins with {{Maya}} and Meena performing at the town, [[Laissez Fayre]], which is populated almost entirely by entertainers and tourists. They use their job as a cover and the town as a base to investigate the murder of their father [[Mahabala] ], a prominent alchemist. Though they suspect his apprentice, [[Balzack]], killed him in order to steal the [[Secret of Evolution]], they have nothing to back up their claims, and keep them to themselves for the time being.

After following the trail through several towns across the entire country, they finally confronted the murderer at his [[Palais de Léon|castle]]. Unfortunately, despite their best efforts his true [[Marquis de Léon|King]] arrives to soundly defeat them in battle and throws them into the dungeon. Luckily, its only other occupant points them to a secret exit, and after they escape they flee directly to [[Endor]].

[[File:DQIV_Hero_and_Meena.png|right|border|170px]]
In {{DQ4 Chapter 5}}, Meena is attempting to continue her fortune-telling business, but {{Maya}} blows all the [[gold]] they'd earned on their journey at the [[Casino]], leaving them fairly stranded in the city. Luckily, the {{Hero 4}} has been told to seek out his destined allies, and locates {{Maya}} and Meena in short order. When Meena reads his fortune, she realizes that he is the prophesied {{Hero 4}} and immediately joins the {{Party 4}}.

The two are briefly separated in [[Con Cave]] and are approached by demonic doppelgangers of The {{Hero 4}} (while The {{Hero 4}} also battled doppelgangers of the sisters). When coming across the real {{Hero 4}}, Meena is more trusting while {{Maya}} quizzed him/her. Afterwards, they regroup and find the [[Symbol of faith]].

A while later in {{DQ4 Chapter 5}}, the {{Party 4}} confronts [[Balzack]], at Castle [[Zamoksva]]. He has used an imperfect version of the Secret of Evolution to become [[Balzack|Baalzack]], but the {{Party 4}} is still able to kill him, avenging the death of the sisters' [[Mahabala|father]] at long last.

====Stats====
[[Image:Meenas_Tarot_Cards.png|right|thumb|290px|''The cards do not lie.'']]
Meena's abilities in battle are styled after the [[Priest]] vocation in {{Dragon Quest III}}, possessing approximately half of the pastor's spells. She has sole access to the [[Woosh]] series of spells which give her more reliable offensive utility than Kiryl's [[Whack]] spells, but she is only able to heal one character at a time whereas the former will learn [[Multiheal]]. Relying on Meena to revive deceased allies is a gamble as she only learns [[Zing]], but in dire circumstances she is an asset with the party-restoring [[Kerplunk]]--this spell alone can completely turn the tide of battle and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat at the cost of her own life. Meena is also the only chosen one to learn the vital [[Insulatle]] spell, making her a crucial ally against the [[Estark|Lord of the Underworld]] and other enemies that rely on [[Breath attack|breath attacks]].

As a spell caster, Meena possesses low {{Resilience}} and {{HP}}, but high {{Wisdom}}, {{Luck}}, and {{MP}}. She also enjoys a higher-than-average {{Strength}} when compared to the other magical characters until her sister's strength rises suddenlt at higher levels. Meena has access to some powerful equipment such as the [[Falcon knife earrings]] and [[Liquid metal sword]], but she will be quickly surpassed in physical combat by Ragnar and Alena unless [[Seed of Strength|seeds]] are applied to boost her might.

====[[Silver tarot cards]]====
[[File:Dq4 silver tarot cards.png|right|thumb|Meena's [[Silver tarot cards|silver tarot cards]].|220px]]
One of Meena's most unique traits is her ability to read her silver tarot cards during battle, with each drawn card causing a unique effect. The power of the cards ignore any resistances a [[Monsters|monster]] may normally have, save for bosses. Players should be cautious about leaving fate to chance and ordering Meena to divine too often, however, as the likelihood to draw The Fool rises to 50% after the third shuffling in one battle. Also, Meena can use the cards outside of battle to read the player's fortune. This will not affect the game, but provides interesting dialogue from the Seer.

*'''Justice:''' Casts [[Poof]] on all enemies and sends them flying into the blue.
*'''Devil:''' Casts [[Kasap]] on all foes.
*'''Death:''' Casts [[Whack]] on one enemy.
*'''Sun:''' Casts [[Omniheal]] on all allies.
*'''Moon:''' Casts [[Dazzle]] on all enemies.
*'''Strength:''' Casts [[Oomph]] on a random ally
*'''Star:''' Doubles the amount of {{Exp}}erience and [[gold]] received after the current battle, will not stack will multiple draws.
*'''Tower:''' Casts [[Zap]] on all enemies. Damage is calculated as Meena's level multiplied between 0.5 and 2.
*'''Fool:''' Casts [[Thwack]] on the entire Party!

==={{DQ6}}===
Meena appears along with the other [[Chosen Ones]] in the near-future version of [[Reaper's Peak]], having set up shop to tell fortunes in the village much to her sister's annoyance. When reading the palm of the {{Hero 6}}, she notes that she sees nothing at all in his future and cannot gaze into his soul. She notes that this means the young man has an incredible burden that he must bear, but reassures him that if he follows the path that he knows to be true then he will find happiness at the end of the long road.

When spoken to again, Meena will mention her love of caves and tombs.

==={{DQ9}}===
Meena appears as one of the special guests at the [[Quester's Rest]] in [[Stornway]]. This could be obtained when the [[DQVC]] was available using Nintendo's Wi-Fi Channel. When spoken to, she gives the player different pieces of her outfit for fulfilling certain conditions.
*[[Meena's robe]] - Received after talking to her.
*[[Meena's bracelets]] - Received after the inn is fully expanded.
*[[Meena's mane]] - Received if it is the player's birthday.
*[[Samhita sandals]] - Received if the {{Hero 9}} is a [[Paladin]].
The [[Accolade]] '''Foxy Fortune-Teller''' is earned if the {{Hero 9}} wears all parts of Meena's costume. However, it is only possible for a female Hero to earn this Accolade as certain parts of Meena's costume are female-exclusive.

==={{DQ10}}===
Meena first appears in the Version 1.5 update of the game, both as a quest giving {{NPC}} and as a fortune teller who can influence a player's game for up to two hours. 

==={{DQH2}}===
Meena appears as one of the new playable characters in the second game. Her [[Coup-de-Grâce]] is [[Starfall]], which summons a meteor shower to strike all her enemies. She uses her tarot cards as her weapon of choice, which she utilizes in many of her attacks, and being able to cast the [[Woosh]] series of spells and [[Multiheal]].

==={{DQRivals}}===
Meena is one of the original leader characters in the game, representing the [[Fortune Teller]] vocation.

==={{DQTact}}===
Meena appears as a S-rank member of the [[Hero family]] as part of the limited ''True Dragon Quest IV'' event, appearing on his own banner alongside [[Prince of darkness]]. She can participate in [[Baalzack|Baalzack's]] Battle Road as a party member.

==Etymology==
Meena is the English phonetic spelling for the Korean word for twin, Miena.

==Trivia==
*There are a pair of sisters in [[Greenthumb Gardens]] who are a reference to Meena and her sister {{Maya}} in {{Dragon Quest VII}}.
*From June 10th to July 10th, 2016, a dessert called the "Minea's Fruity Parfait" was available at the real-life [[Patty's Party Planning Place|Luida's Bar]] in Tokyo to promote the release of {{Dragon Quest Heroes II}}. Designed to look like Meena, it was decorated with her tarot cards, a tapioca pearl to represent her crystal ball, chocolate whipped cream and wafers, mango gelato, and tea ice cream. There was also a parfait based on {{Maya}}, as well.
