## Biography

Melea was born into a family that served the Brotherhood as informants. From a young age she was taught that Makuta was the ultimate power in the universe and that nothing else compared. However unlike most families in the Brotherhood, Melea's didn't teach her to be cruel and sadistic rather they taught her to be a kind person to those around her. While growing up one of her favorite things to do was look up at the night sky and see all the stars. When her parents got too old to keep being informants to the Brotherhood she took over the job for them.

During this time she reported directly to Gorast the right hand of Makuta, she also was known to be able to actually see Makuta something few in the Brotherhood could do. Around this time she began to develop romantic feelings for the Dark Lord. Makuta noticed this and decided to manipulate her into wedding him to which she agreed immediately. After a few months she became pregnant with his child. When the child was born she was the one to name him Takua after Makuta didn't care enough to come up with any names. She was the primary caretaker of Takua during the months following his birth, as Makuta had other matters to attend to. She cared greatly for her son and his well being, and though she didn't show it, she was disappointed Makuta wasn't more present in his life.

One day while home alone with Takua, she was visited by the Artahka the Spirit of Creation who informed her of Makuta's plan to use Takua to corrupt the Avohkii. Melea was convinced after she looked into Artahka's claims and discovered Makuta never cared for her and was using her as a means to have a child. After learning this information she became very fearful of Makuta and the Brotherhood and with the help of Artahka made plans for her and Takua to flee. As they worked to make a plan, Melea became more and more paranoid that Makuta might learn of her upcoming betrayal. When the plan was finished both Artahka and Melea knew that the Brotherhood would come looking for her and Takua once they knew they had fled. In order to increase the odds of Takua's safety it was decided by both of them that Melea should give Takua up for adoption.

On the night when the plan is enacted everything goes smoothly and Melea and Takua escape without any problems. A few days later outside an orphanage Melea meets Pewku who is looking to adopt. After Artahka reads through Pewku's mind and deduces that she would be an ideal candidate for a parent, Melea gives Takua to her. Before leaving she kisses Takua on the forehead while holding back tears. When she arrives back at the apartment she was staying at she starts sobbing uncontrollably. While Artahka tries to comfort her, she asks him to watch over Takua, which he agrees to do. A few weeks later while out stargazing on the roof of her apartment building she is confronted by the Gorast of the time who demands the location of Takua. Melea refuses to even look at her while she explains that Takua is safe and there is nothing the Brotherhood could do to change that. Enraged by this Gorast decapitates Melea killing her instantly while Artahka watches the event unfold.
