Melody Naaji

Melody was an apprentice of the Charon and Kayleigh's forgotten companion in the Harmony of Legions.

## Backstory

On her 13th birthday, Melody Naaji learned from the Oracle that she was going to die in 805 days. Learning this, she left her home and family behind to accomplish one goal: to do some good in the world. If she could save even one person, she would be happy with her life. That was all she wanted, to save other people, no matter the cost of herself. She became reckless because she knew no matter what she did, she wouldn't die until that fated day. Her parents and family never even heard her say goodbye. Arriving in Mochizuki, she was found by the Charon and taken in as an apprentice. She learned about the Harmony of Legions and the pain they inflicted on others without a trace of sympathy. From that day forward, she vowed that in order to save as many people as possible, she has to do everything she can to destroy the Harmony of Legions. Still, a 13 year old can't stop a continent-wide organization all on their own. She didn't care, and pursued her goal anyways. Though she was reckless in her actions, she kept up a calm and peaceful mask around her fellow apprentices and the Charon. She let herself be perceived as a healer with no other abilities. She withstood constant verbal and physical abuse about how useless she was, and quickly became the Charon's most hated apprentice. Her fellow apprentices, however, loved her. She became cherished by many, but only on a surface level. For 6 months, she passively gathered information about everything she could, gossip, rumours, future plans, current plans, failed projects, and much more. Then, 620 days before her death, a new apprentice appeared. They were the complete opposite of Melody, a combatant, an assassin that was the Charon's favourite, yet the other apprentices despised him. Just like Melody, however, they never showed much outward emotion. Both of them were puppets in a game they didn't even know the rules of. One day, this apprentice got injured during a mission, and Melody was chosen to heal him. Their name was Kayleigh Fimbulvetr, and the two quickly bonded, yet also quickly discovered their differences. Melody had chosen to join the Harmony of Legions by choice, while Kayleigh was kidnapped and forced to comply. The two shared a genuine friendship despite everything, but the clock was ticking down. Melody devised a plan to destroy the Harmony of Legion's Chigorai base, set everyone free, and release their plans to the public. All on her own. For a 15 year old girl, she was incredibly smart and cunning. Not that she let anyone know that. She entrusted the information with Kayleigh by giving them her necklace that was infused with her memories, created by using her semblance. Till the end, Kayleigh had no idea what Melody was doing or thinking. But they loved each other all the same.

Before joining the Harmony of Legions, Melody was a popular girl from a rich family with connections to the Oracle family of Athanasius. As was customary for those of status, when she turned 13 years old she visited the Oracle and requested to know when she would die. She was a part of a big family with plenty of siblings and cousins that loved her. She loves her homeland, but she left it all behind when she learned of her own death.

## Relationships

### Eira Angelov

Melody was an Apprentice of Eira's, though she was seen as the weakest of the group, due to her disguising her semblance as nothing but a simple healing semblance with no other uses. Melody hates Eira and the Harmony of Legions for the suffering they've caused to her and Kayleigh.

## Powers and Abilities

### Semblance: Asim

Asim infuses Melody's aura into living and non-living things. She can also take this aura back. It can be used to heal people, plants, and animals. When infused into non-living things, she gains control over it. It's not very useful for things like tables, since you can't do much with it, but when used on things like computers it's very powerful. She has also used her semblance to infuse both her aura and her memories into a necklace.
