=== Backstory: ===
Melinoe grew up as a noble in a very distant land with only her father (she had no siblings and her mother had never been in the picture), but she could always hear the spirits. One day, when she was about 17, while out picking flowers for an upcoming festival, Melinoe overheard the evil spirits' plans to destroy the village she lived in, and as any sane person would do, she tried to warn the people there. But they only laughed and mocked her, and when she persisted, she was run out of town for being insane. From then until the time she was about 19, she lived off the land, foraging for herself, when a man not much older than her approached asking if she needed help. He turned out to be Chancellor Rosanto of Rodaria, and he pointed her in the right direction of the lands he came from, not being able to accompany her on account of important government decisions. She made the long and treacherous journey to Salvasta, and in a few months, made it there. Upon entering the city, another man (Councilor Owen) welcomed her and helped her become an official citizen.
=== Lore so Far (As of Dec. 26, 2021): ===
Melinoe built her own house in the 'slums' or Salvasta, and over the span of 2 years, became friends with Rosanto, and even spent time in the dangerous Nether and though days of the Over to gather materials to help him build the Capital building, which is still being built (as of Dec. 26, 2021). 
=== Lore as of Jan. 29 (RESET DATE): ===
Melinoe had built 2 more homes for the Salvastan community and had started building the Salvastan Enchantment Library when she was kidnapped by her relatives on her mother's side; the Shiku demon clan. They wanted her to help them take over the overworld with her magics and human connections, a request that was immediately denied. In response to this, they locked her in a tower bedroom that had a window facing the entrance of the Nether Fortress in which they lived. This is where she lived for about a month, in which time nobody in Rodaria could find her, however hard they tried. The week before the demons were set to attack the overworld (and before her inevitable execution) Melinoe enchanted the bed of a leaving adventurer she saw pass to detonate the world when he sleeps in it, something which is confirmed to not happen as the world was destroyed anyway. Not knowing this, and sensing her time was drawing near, Melinoe killed herself with one of the daggers that were lying around the room. Right before she did, though, she sent her diary to the Salvastan portal in the hopes that one of her friends would find it and know what happened to her.
=== LORE TL; DR: Melinoe was kicked out of her town because the people there thought she was crazy, met Chancellor Rosanto who pointed her in the direction of his country, and she was welcomed and became a citizen with the help of Councilor Owen. She built her own home in the "slums" of Salvasta and began to help gather materials to build the capital. After building 2 more homes and a library for the community, she was kidnapped by the Shiku demon clan- who happen to be her maternal relatives. They try to convince her to help them take over the world, and when she refuses, they lock her in a spare bedroom for a month until Melinoe tries to destroy the world before they get to it, not knowing that it was already destroyed. She then kills herself, knowing that her execution was inevitable anyway and didn't want to give the clan the satisfaction of her death. ===
==== Writing this character has legit been so fun, though I didn't get to do a lot of in-game lore with her. After the reset, I hope to do a lot more of that. I hope any historians that came across this enjoyed reading! ====
