Melody Wade

Melody Wade is the protagonist of Heroine? Saint? No, I'm An All-Works Maid. Contrary to most heroes who reincarnated in another world upon death, Melody is utterly clueless that she is an otome game world and only seeks to fulfill her life's dream to be a maid.
== History ==
=== Past life ===
Melody was originally born in Japan as Ritsuko Mizunami. At the age of six she should genius that slowly lost the joy in her life. While visiting England on a sponsorship, Ritsuko was enamored by the sight of a maid and quickly desired to become one; studying all books and movies maids appeared in. 
As a teenager, Ritsuko was traveling by plane to England to undergo maid training. She shared her seating with two otome game fans, who were gushing about The Silver Saint and the Five Oaths. The plane had an engine go out and down it went into a crash that killed everyone.
=== Reincarnated ===
Due to her bad luck of having been next to the two fans of the game, Ritsuko was reborn in the game world with them. She was reborn Celesti McMurden and lived with her single mother Serena. Seeing a maid as a child awoke her memory and made Celesti happy that she was reborn in a world with a thriving maid profession.
Serena died of an illness, leaving a letter to Celesti; turns out her mother had been a maid to the son of a count prior to Celesti being born. Her father is now the current count and would be willing to take her in if she wished. However, Serena knew how much Celesti wishes to be a maid and said it was up to her to pick a path. Celesti vowed to become the best maid ever to honor her memory. Because she had fulfilled the otome game's criteria, Celesti was blessed with Saint magic; however, she thought it was normal.
=== Throwing the script off course ===
Celesti changed her appearance and name, giving the villagers fake information about where she was going; to throw anyone from her father's employ who would come looking for her. If Melody ever met her father, the man wouldn't stand for his daughter to be subservient to someone; which would make Melody incredibly upset that her life's dream would get denied twice over.
== Appearance ==
As Ristuko she had typical black eyes and hair for someone of Japanese descendent.
As Ceselti, she inherited her mother's blue eyes and her father's silver hair.
Under her assumed identity, Melody uses light reflection magic to change her eyes and hair back to their original Japanese color.
== Personality ==
Melody is a cheerful, polite and kind girl; thanks to her training in her first life. However, she is lacking quite a deal of common sense about the magic of her new world; thinking her saint powers are NORMAL level magic.
She is also smart enough to hide her true looks to avoid being recognized as the illegitimate daughter of a noble. 
== Abilities ==
:Genius Intellect: Retained from her first life. Melody is able to memorize and master most of anything she sets her mind to.
:Expert Cook: Melody can make delicious meals from even the most obscure vegetables, fruits and even wild animals hunted herself.
:Excellent Hunter: Melody often supplies the meat for meals by slaying beasts in what is actually a restricted forest for dangerous species.
:Sewing: Melody is an excellent seamstress, being able to turn old and outdated clothing into modern and fashionable outfits.
=== Magic ===
Melody has the blessing of the Saint, which bestows her with magic 20 times the most powerful mage. However, she's too dense to realise its not normal. Melody also represses her magic in public, so not to draw attention to herself; not because she thinks it will get her in trouble, but because she doesn't want to outshine her employers.
:Light reflection: Melody can make the light reflect the wrong colors of her hair and eyes.
:Matter manipulation: Melody transformed her commoner clothing into a maid outfit; changing the color as well. 
:Cloning: Melody clones herself to clean and care for the mansion. They are semi-independant but loyalty to the original.
:Memory erasure: After being walked in on in the bath by accident, Melody erased Sir Lectias memory of last few minutes to both hide her real looks and because Melody was naked at the time.
:Protection Charm: The highest defense spells a Saint can cast. Though Melody is dumb enough to think it's normal magic.
:Sleep: Melody can put people and animals to sleep.
:Clean: Purifies dirt and evil; Melody doesn't know the later.
== Trivia ==
* Melody has no clue she is meant to be the heroine of the story.
*Despite being dragged repeatedly into the otome plot, Melody constantly ignores it as it doesn't have to do with her being a maid.
**Though she does have the prince and villainess (the two reincarnated Otaku who were with her on the plane) to thank for setting up the regularly scheduled carriage rides. This allowed her to escape Sir Lectias when he was looking for "Celesti"; the otome plot would have played out if not for this.
*Melody is obviously neurodivergent in that she is hyperfocused on her goal to the point of ignoring anything she doesn't care about; to the point she's oblivious. This applies to her last life as Ritsuko as well; despite having a brilliant mind for many subjects, she became obsessed with being a maid.
**From what was seen in the flashbacks to her parents, it's obvious that Mr and Mrs Mizunami didn't take her life goal seriously; they were all smiles like it was just a phase she was going through.
*When Melody creates her maid outfit from her commoner colors, it looked similar to Sailor Moon's red energy ribbons becoming her uniform.
*The Narrator (possibly God) is constantly voicing exasperation with Melody for her obliviousness; such as wasting the Saint's power to be a maid, over gaining a position of power.
