Appearance

Melodia is young slender to athletic woman with typically long blue hair and pink highlights. She stands at the tallest height for her race at approximately five feet, four inches. She has dark red eyes that almost appear brown. She can be seen in a variety of outfits and clothing, though she is never confined to one standard look. One day she may be wearing a black leather outfit and the next, a linen bliaud and fine trousers. She is fond of sunglasses and her other glasses and can often be seen wearing these as well. She has two scars along her cheeks from her time as a child on the pirate vessel she was prisoner on when she had tried to escape.

History

• Please note anything prior to her time in the Yellowjackets is a closely guarded secret for Melodia and unless she specifically told anyone, then that portion would not be known.

Melodia was born into a small tribe of Seeker Miqo'te only to have tragedy strike at age five when pirates attacked and slaughtered her tribe for goods and materials. The captain, a Roegadyn woman of impressive stature and charisma, but brutal in her methods, took the child on board as her prisoner, meaning to have her perform cleaning and maintenance on her ship in the smaller confined areas that her crew couldn't get to. She faced years of harsh treatment under the captain's hand, though learned to survive, cook, clean, sew and handle repairs. Within a few years she was assigned to work with an older Miqo'te male named Tauric. He was in charge of training her and putting her to work acquiring jewelry, coin and other tradeable materials. He was a kind person, not like the captain and went to work training Melodia to be a skilled thief. As she got older he and his apprentice Tomas would teach her to read and worked to try and correct her accent, a heavily sounding mimic of the captain's. Over time and through the Calamity, Melodia and Tomas fell in love having worked and lived so closely with each other. Tauric knew this and wanted them to be free of the ship and the crew, to live out their lives. The captain did not just let people leave and so one night at the age of 19, Melodia and Tomas were to escape in the middle of the night, after a raucous party where the crew were were drunken and passed out. As Melodia went out to meet Tomas she got to the deck only to find Tauric hung and executed as the crew had been aware of her plans. After a period of cruel beatings and toruture at the hands of an elder Elezen on the ship, Tomas freed Melodia. Once reaching a landing point in La Noscea, the captain confronted Melodia and threatened to kill her on the spot, only to be interrupted by Tomas, who was subsequently killed in the fight. Melodia then killed the captain in rage and collapsed in tears over the body of Tomas. A group of Yellowjackets came upon the scene and one offered help to Melodia and she returned to Limsa Lominsa to join with the Yellowjackets as a way to put the past behind her.

Melodia's time in the Yellowjackets was a rapid one of promise. She rose through the ranks rather quickly and before long was a sergeant in Limsa proper. Determined to bring justice and law to the city, she sought out to do that only to learn that her inexperience would come back to haunt her. She first sought to get an informant on her side, someone who knew the streets of Limsa better than she did, and that person was supposed to be a streetrunner named Zhi. This blew up in her face as Zhi proved to be far more clever and slippery than she had anticipated. Meanwhile she tried to make a run at a suspected prostitution ring and someone named simply Grace. Again, the far more experienced redheaded woman named Grace, made Melodia feel the fool on more than one occasion and after some time of frustration, unsure whether the city truly wanted justice or not, left to turned in her Yellowjacket uniform.

Wandering the lands to explore and see what opportunities lay before her she headed to Lavender Beds and came to the Free Wing Society, a hiring and staffing agency there. While her time there was short she realized her talents were largely unknown to her...those that were within the confines of the law that was. It was during this period of uncertainty that she had dyed hair black and cut it short for a time, trying to find herself and what she was about. She then met her wife, Alara, one day in Lavender Beds and the two quickly fell in love with each other. Soon after they were eternally bonded and Melodia decided she was not up to adventuring or conflicts and opted to open a new private practice wherein she would be a relationship therapist for those who needed her services.

Personality

Melodia is a kind soul but has a deeply repressed level of rage that most never see. She fights back a great deal of anger at the trauma of her childhood and deals with loneliness quite a bit. To combat this she does exhibit a high level of flirtation and expresses herself through her sexuality at times. She is helpful and friendly and loves to chat, but gets shy in group settings. When put in a tough situation she may become frustrated and yell struggling to contain her emotions. Though she will primarily try to default to a sarcastic flirty mode when unsure of the situation.

Affiliations and Known Associates

Melodia is a former Yellowjacket and as such has contacts within law enforcement. Specific people she knows:

• Alarasong Elaha: This is Melodia's wife and friend. She supports Alara through anything and knows Alara does the same for her.

• Zhavi Streetrunner: For a time was Melodia's "White Whale" and became obsessed with snaring the elusive Miqo'te, but after the woman's long absence and teflon-like ability to get away from her, she's all but forgotten her. At least she thinks that's the case.

• Andralyn Thatcher: Known only to Melodia as Grace, the red headed beauty was a high priority target of hers during her tenure in the Yellowjackets. Like Zhi, Grace proved to be nigh untouchable and gave Melodia a glimpse of how little power she truly had even in her position as a law enforcement official.

• Nebula Stardancer: This intriguing Miqo'te woman has bumped into Melodia more than once and each time is more curious than the last. Though, Melodia sees the woman as a kind one and as a friend.

• Coatleque Crofte: Melodia met this woman on a day trip to Ul'dah and was interested in getting to know the woman further. Perhaps she should go back to Ul'dah to find her again.

• Aya Foxheart: Another woman she met on the airship to Ul'dah with Coatleque. Had Melodia felt more comfortable, she'd have likely flirted with the pretty blonde woman but the nerves of the airship had distracted her. A visit to the Quicksand would be in order to re-visit the kind woman.

• Isla Sahb: This Hyur woman is a friend she's met through other friends, and though she still doesn't know her too well, she knows she can be trusted based on their few meetings.

• Khloe Moshroca: Isla's partner and Melodia's friend, Khloe is someone Melodia knows well and trusts as a friend.

• Nel Celestine: Meldoia has worked for her Free Company in the past, performing small tasks and is alaways available to assist if needed.

• Isilme Turuphant: Melodia's former lover and still friend, Isilme is often a voice of reason when Melodia is struggling to make sense of things she struggles with.
