Melava

== Appearance and Personality ==
Meelava, previously named Meela, is a pink-haired half-elf woman with black leather armor. She is bratty, impatient, and determined to see things through. She desperately desires to earn her full name from her father, Torva. She fights with a short sword.
== Relationships ==
=== Zaroth ===
A childhood friend who knows her as Meela. While easily frustrated by his antics, Meela cares deeply for his wellbeing. 
== In the "Gray Manacle" ==
=== Growing Suspicions ===
Meelava brings a shipment of grey manacles and chains to the Docks of Danmar on a dwarven ship emblazoned with Torvah's symbol. She is surprised to see Zaroth arrive with "God Killer" (AKA Corbin), and even more surprised to see they have matching boob windows. Meelava starts to grow suspicious of Corbin, and tries to get him to look up and tell her what he sees on the rooftops. Although her attempts to confirm her suspicions fail, she warns Zaroth that Corbin is not to be trusted as she hands off the shipment.
=== Suspicions Confirmed ===
Her suspicions are confirmed a few moments later as she goes to save Zaroth from the Guardians. She grabs her friend and vanishes into inky black smoke to retreat back to her ship. Determined to keep the guardians from messing with her plans in Danmar, she decides return to the city, rather than her original rendezvous point. She sneaks into Diamond's Down Low Show and attempts to assassinate Corbin. Unfortunately, she not only fails to stab the crow guardian, but also learns that she's too late to stop their meddling. Zaroth sends her a message saying that the Estrans have already escaped, and that she needs to leave the scene as the Grey Manacle are headed her way. Once again, she retreats.
=== Final Showdown ===
Meelava, frustrated with the guardians and Zaroth's meddling, directly confronts them at the castle. She engages in battle but loses. When she tries to escape, Faylen arrives, stabs her and takes her away.
== In the "Survivor's Ballad" ==
Meelava is left in the Broken Tower by her father. As she remains unnamed, opalescent tears stream down her face uncontrollably. Her features become unnaturally gaunt as her magic starts to overcome and turn her into a monster. However, Zaroth along with Slake and Corbin comes to the rescue. She is a bit upset that Zaroth risked his life (and brought along Corbin, the person who led to this mess in the first place).
When she is freed from the dwarven shackles, she does not want to be saved, believing that she is unworthy of a name and would be more useful as a monster. When the guardians bring up the idea that she should name herself, she at first resists at the idea, saying that she wants to be forgotten and no longer wants to be a part of whatever is going on with the gods. Building on this idea, the guardians suggest that she should then become "The Forgotten". Zaroth supports the idea, saying that he'd like her to be the guide for those who were forgotten like they had been when they were children. With this new reasoning, Meelava decides to take on this as her new name, with a flash of opalescent light. While the damage of her magic remains on her body, the tears finally stop.
With the crisis averted, Meelava becomes her old self again, bickering with Zaroth about the fact he didn't have much of a plan when coming to save her. To escape the tower (and show Zaroth what REAL MAGIC looks like) she creates a set of stairs down the tower. She joins Zaroth and the Guardians down to their boat and stays until they reach the port of Nakama. Once ashore, alongside Zaroth Meelava parts way with the guardians.
