Who's the fifth, mystery candidate?

There's a whole bunch (link).

Alright, but in the end it always ends in a one to one fight. The mystery candidate is Helen:
"Whenever Helen sleeps, her fevered rest meekens her; hence, she re-emerges enfeebled -- her strength, expended; her reserves, depleted."

The odd duckess in this line and I don't see te relevance of the word 'meeken' at all. (?)

It's a pretty weak member of this group. Only reason I can see for its having been chosen is the fact that it has the phonemes /m/, /k/, and /n/. Surely there must have been better choices, something maybe with the prefix caino- or the suffix -caine.

I'm sure your guess is right! Meeken, Mekain? You Jane? Well ....good luck to all.

>pretty weak

boy, howdy!

meeken.. weak un'
