**Mellica** is the strongest elf warrior of the Everglow Forest.

## Appearance

As an elf, Mellica has fair skin, straight blonde hair, and pointed ears. She is extremely muscular, taller than other elves, and is typically seen with a stern frown on her face.

She is seen wearing the same green tunic, green leggings, tall boots, brown belt, and wrist guards worn by all other elves. She also wears a simple circlet with a single gem in its center. While fighting, she is equipped with a massive bow and a quiver full of correspondingly large arrows.

## Personality

Mellica is an exceedingly kind and generous individual. During the famine of the Everglow Forest, she consistently gave away her portions of food to other elves and did not take any for herself. She was also seen tearing up when thinking about the hardships the weaker members of their forest were facing.

In combat, she is a very serious fighter, as she refused to let an enemy escape from them even while exhausted and was determined to fight until the end. Her strength and reliability have earned her the undying trust of other elves, who are able to comfortably rely on her to protect them when facing strong opponents.

## Story

After the arrival of Lloyd Frontera and Javier Asrahan in the Everglow Forest, Lloyd was left alone while Javier drew the elves' fire. He was able to successfully defend himself from every arrow aimed at him, leading the elves to marvel at his strength and doubt their chances of victory. Hearing this, the captain of the elves ordered for them to calm down as they still had Mellica on their side.

Making her first appearance, Mellica emerges from the trees while carrying a massive, metal-plated bow nearly matching her in height. She firmly plants it into the ground before nocking a single arrow. The force produced by its firing is able to split the water in its path and repel the aura blade of a sword master, sending Javier skidding backwards and forcing him to use a substantial amount of strength to simply deflect it.

The battle continues until the elves become exhausted due to their continued starvation. Viewing them as formidable enemies and not wishing to harm any of the elves, Javier takes this as an opportunity to escape and reconvene with Lloyd. While many of the other elves are too exhausted to give chase, Mellica continues chasing after him and draws a last burst of energy from the others, who are determined to support her attack.

Javier is ultimately able to find Lloyd, however, and sits down to join him as he grills meat over a fire. Mellica is seen watching behind a tree before being invited to join their circle by Moira. Lloyd questions them about the state of the men, children, and elderly elves of the forest during the famine, causing many of the elves to cry, including Mellica. Lloyd is then able to convince them to assist in the construction of the Honeypot Apartments in exchange for meat and the elves follow them back to the Frontera County.

Following the destruction of the Lacona Mansion, Mellica is tasked to help the viscount and his son with errands until their house can be rebuilt.

## Skills

* **Archery**: Mellica is a skilled archer with her uniquely large bow, earning her the title of "The Dragon Sniper".
* **Strength**: Mellica has exhibited a tremendous amount of physical strength, as she was able to blow away the aura of a sword master with nothing but raw power. She is able to easily carry her bow and nock its heavy arrows without assistance despite one arrow being heavy enough to require the support of four normal elves.
