[b]Name:[/b] Melanie Florana
[b]Age:[/b] 37
[b]Race:[/b] Elf
[b]Appearance:[/b] Standing at 5'8", Melanie could pass as a human. She had pointed ears as normal and soft white hair that reached far down her body. Her eyes, blue as a deep ocean. She always, always wore a hood if she was outside her house, and sometimes within.

[CENTER] Personality [/CENTER]
Melanie had a sweet and gentle nature. She cared more about her family than anything, and would spend her days trying to provide for them. She loved spring, from the flowers sprouting up to the chilly mornings, there was nothing more pleasant. She would often pick flowers and herbs and tie them with ribbon and leave them on people's doorsteps, be they sick, sad, or just because. After the uproar, when she wasn't selling herbs, she would meet in secret with people who were either very ill or critically injured. This was the only time she felt whole again, healing those who need it with her special talents, and the lumps of money didn't hurt either. She had a certain love for all races, even the pompous humans, but especially animalistic. There was something sweet about the way they resembled innocence, like the lambs they used to raise. There was one thing she didn't like: Namil. If she could, she would capture him herself and purge him of his secrets, torture him until he told her where her family was.
She believed her family was still alive, and would go to the end of the world to get them back from the evil overlord. And she just might have to.

[CENTER] Background [/CENTER]
Melanie was a healer from a middle-class family before the uproar, not the most known by a long stretch, but talented nonetheless. This probably spared her from being taken away, as she was able to fade into the darkness and retreat to her family's home outside of town, leaving her apartment behind with her secrets. She grew herbs at this place and would take them into town to sell, until one day she came home to a shattered window. The house had been ransacked, but no goods were stolen. Much worse, her whole family had been taken at once to who knows where. For weeks all she could think about was her sweet mother, father and little brother suffering somewhere, lost, or just worried about her. Her sweet, unblemished soul then grew a pit of blackness into the middle of it. She was broken and had nothing left in the world. She made it her goal to bring back her family, along with one day being able to be a healer full-time again.
