Mialee Moonbrook, or as some may know her, Mademoiselle Melodie, is an almost picture perfect, musical, magical, spell casting bard. She has worked in the Order of Nald'thal for a long time, about 20 years, while she was being mentored in the bardic arts by various teachers. She started out learning music and magic when she was very young and moved on when she was about 15 years of age. She came to the surface and sought out thaumaturgy teachers, and became a minstrel for a long while, incorporating thaumaturgy into her shows. She is a fully fledged Bard, and spends her time working with the Order of Nald'thal.

Mialee is very chipper and kind. She loves to meet people and make friends, or help in any situation that she's able to. She can sometimes take jokes too far or be a little ditzy or oblivious to the situation or what's appropriate. Overall, though, she's cheerful and affectionate to those she likes and tries to be fun to be around. She's very gullible and falls for things easily, and can sometimes be unintentionally cruel.

Mia lies often, though her lies are mostly exaggerations and wild stories, or dumb rumours.

Family:

Mialee come from a small family, having no siblings and her mother and father; Leliana and Barris Moonbrook. She has 5 children, who are all living on their own now.

Mialee has been learning Thaumaturgy for many years alongside her bard work.

She lives in the shroud and works in ul'dah.

"A raging fire to cleanse the corpse; a freezing blizzard to halt corruption; a jolt of lightning to expel the sins of mortal life."

Some small Thaumaturgical facts below:

• Aether pools within ones self swell in times of intense fear and duress (fire 3/thundercloud procs anyone?? :D)
• There are 307 verses of funerary rites for the virtuous fallen.
• Thaumaturgy: The Yawning Abyss was written by Zozomaya.
• Priestess Mamane is strict about noise in the THM guild.
• The last will and testament of a patron of the Ossuary, which contains a vengeance order – a service provided by the thaumaturges whereby revenge is exacted upon who or whatever took the life of the deceased. Mostly these are acted out against the wildlife of Thanalan, such as stray billygoats or other attackers. Rarely will the Order deal with a murderer.
• Thaumaturges under the Order only accept laws from those with enough gil to 'pay a sultana's ransom', therefore they typically deal with the wealthy in ul'dah regarding the laws of the city.
• Should a Thaumaturge not have an appropriate amount of aether reserves within their body to work with, they are likely to end up killing themselves if they try to force more than a small flicker of flame of spark of lightning. Straining to get more aether from your reserves than you have can potentially ignite your very life blood, and in the worst case burn you alive from the inside out. (this is shown with black magic moreso than Thaumaturgy, however the principle is the same: too little aether you can safely work with coupled with trying to use too much to manipulate a spell = disaster for the caster, and a painful death.
• The Ossuary houses the order of nald'thal, and assists souls into Thal's realm. Thal does not only measure wealth in money, but in everything that the soul leaves behind in our world when passing on into his on their dying breath. This includes food, housing, gil, clothes, livestock, and anything else of value that you can't take with you into the after life.

(The following is information I have gathered on the Thaumaturges guild and the Order of Nald'thal from 1.0. a WIP for now!)

• Thaumaturges working with the Order are protected by the Order against vengeance deeds and wills, such as when a Thaumaturge exacts revenge on who or what had killed someone unnaturally and that now dead persons will requested vengeance, the Thaumaturge that executed them is protected from another coming after them in turn.
• Stated above, Thaumaturges of the ossuary will go through with vengeance wills for the Order of Nald'thal, and by taking on the burden of hatred and anger from the soul, it will be able to be at peace in Thal's realm. Compensation must me made in writing in the will before death for the deed to be carried out, as no payment will get services dismissed.
• Limsa is known for not liking the Order of Nald'thal, and it's hard to give them funeral rites because so many of them are lost at sea and without a corpse you can't really hold a proper funeral that the Order and Ossuary promises.
• All Thaumaturges under the Order must answer to it's laws, and can be executed by the Order if it comes to that. (such as murder, where a thaumaturge kills another outside of a vengeance will.)
• Your virtue is a measure of your very existence – your birth and station, childhood and (womanhood/manhood), knowledge and wisdom, power and wealth. Do not think wealth to be limited to the monetary. Wealth, to the Order, consists of all things a soul leaves behind when it departs this realm.
• Arrzaneth Ossuary guides its followers that they might leave as much in their wake as possible.
• The following is an example of a vengeance order: “My last will and testament… I hereby leave one third of my total estate to the Order of Nald’thal of the Arrzaneth Ossuary. In return for this consideration, I humbly request that my death be avenged should my days be cut short by unnatural causes.”

Mialee is very skilled in thaumaturgy and bardic magic. She knows her way around some weapons, like daggers and rapiers, but doesn't use them as often as she uses magic. She is not very physically strong, nor does she have much endurance. She focuses more on finesse and her mind and force of will, rather than her physical body and power.

Positive:

• Ros: Her girlfriend and the light of her days. She spends much of her time fawning over her, and likes to keep her company. She isn't shy to show her affections of her around others.

Neutral:

Negative:

• Mia can contort her body in surprising ways!
• Her hair is very poofy and wild, and there's nothing she can do to stop it.
• She has a disguise kit and makeup bag, and is very good at changing her appearance.
• she is skilled with glamours, and can sometimes be seen using them.
• She has a very small waist, often using corsets.
• Mia's real name is Faen.
• She believes that if she isnt perfect her loved ones will die.
