Melody Ann Singer

**Melody Ann Singer** is a protagonist from The Moonlit World. Born heir to the Singer company fortune, Melody is a student at Juliard and has aspirations of being a music teacher. To spread what she loves most to others is a dream yet to be attained. Unfortunately, fate had other ideas.

In terms of personality, she is confident and optimistic. Always she tries to find the good in everything. She's innately curious, perhaps overly so, which, combined with her abilities, gives her access to quite a lot of secrets. Most of which she keeps. She's feeling some trepidation about her introduction to the Moonlit World, but she intends to fly in the face of this fear - and also purposely do certain things counter to what her mother wants, which is to set her sights on a husband.

Her life can be summed up by her fondest saying; 'Every day has its own life.' Meaning that you take every day as if it is as important as your whole life. That way, you never miss anything important.

## Origin Story

When Melody was born, the spirit of a Muse connected to her soul and has since been in the process of melding with her. The Muse in question is Euterpe: Patron of Music and it enriches her considerable musical talent. While most of her innate magic has yet to be explored fully, its clear that there's something behind her power she has yet to learn.

As well as powers seeking it for their own, darker purpose.

As of now, she's nineteen years old.

## Racial Abilities and Weaknesses

Manipulation of sound, hearing well beyond anything humanly possible, and even well beyond the hearing of Hidden denizens like Vampires, Werewolves and the like. She hasn't yet discovered her greatest powers, but she can create patches of silence around her, orchestrate music from background noise, and can tell if people are lying simply by listening to them speak.

In places of power such as stages and concert halls, her magic becomes more potent.

Otherwise, its limited in its sphere of influence.
