== Appearance and Character ==
Melleah is a beautiful woman with thick blonde hair and blue eyes. She tends to dress fancily, preferring the white of House Runeri or the black and red of her husbands house. She is seen as honorable and upright by acquaintances.
Melleah is a woman devoted to her family and protects her children above all her fierce protection of her children drives her actions, even if they damage the causes that she claims to be upholding. When it comes to her family, Melleah follows her decades earned understanding of Runeri and Vakerian values, however difficult such a reconciliation of values may be. She is very proud of her heritage, her personal honor, and her faith, and follows the lax Faith quite profoundly.
Melleah is strong willed and brave, always striving towards goals she provides herself: she climbed the lattice of Sudal at night to protect her children in a dangerous night of the war despite the danger and risk, given her recent injuries from attacks from a catspaw. In a sense, Melleah is fiercely protective over people she cares about, risking mortal danger and political demotion when her children are put at risk.
Despite her protective nature she also has an impulsive nature frequently toward gambling, and rarely is a high thrill game of risk or chance turned away. Since her marriage to Viseran, she has partaken in fewer athletic or gambling pursuits and will instead often sponsor an entrant in jousts rather then gamble at larger scale. Spoiled by her opulent upbringing, her father often compared Melleah to a wild animal. Many were a beauty to behold, but getting too close to the ones she would protect would lead to an inevitable mauling.
Recently, she has taken a renewed interest in art. Diverse ranges of sculptures and paintings have been delivered to the family's home gallery in Sudal. During the Festival of Silks and Song in Sudal, showings were arranged for many differing art pieces of which Melleah bought out half the stock of art to hang or put within her chambers.
