## History

Before the general of the AAF rose to prominence, she was but a young girl living outside Andiera. Melina would spend her time causing mischief in her home town, this usually led to punishment by her parents. She'd get beaten until she could barely walk and then cast outside her home to teach her a lesson; contrary to what her parents thought, this only made her hatred for authority stronger. Her whole life was flipped on its head when she one day managed to set fire to a roll of tissues by only looking at it, all it took for her was to get properly upset. Weeks went on in her life without anything out of the ordinary, she spent her time taking out her anger and pain on people around her in school, the torment of younger was quickly noticed by the teachers and she was promptly punished. Opening the door to her house that afternoon, she was met with her father immediately pushing her up against the wall. She was beaten half to death and left on the ground to bleed. In a fit of uncontrollable rage, Melina managed to set fire to the surrounding walls. The fire quickly engulfed the whole house and left her in the pieces that were left when it had dissipated, authorities quickly showed up and took care of her.

Months after the fire when the investigation was over, she was charged with arson and put in a mental institution this was with very loose grounds and no form of trial. It wasn't long before the first institution decided that she was too dangerous to be kept there and sent her away to another one, a lot of her time would be spent traveling between different hospitals, prisons and institutions. After suffering even more abuse in the latest prison she had been sent to, Melina had enough. She started training with the fire powers she had discovered years prior, eventually managing to set her own hands ablaze. The built up rage and sorrow made it easy for her to set herself on fire and even shot it out of her hands, she used this to escape the prison and burn it down as she left.

At this point in time, Melina was 13 years old. After getting out of her prison cell, she had no clue what to do or where to go. Deciding to make a bold move, Melina got on the nearest train and riding with it to a station as far away from her home as humanly possible. Days turned into weeks and suddenly she woke up in a completely new country, the sign on the station said "Anderia" in capital letters. It was a place she had heard of before, but definitely not one she thought she would ever call her home. She tried her best to get directions, eventually ending up in the capital. This is where she met Naomi Thatcher, a friend who would quickly turn into girlfriend.

This relationship quickly came to a close when they lost contact due to Naomi moving out of the capital and Melina remaining in the orphanage she had been situated in. Saddened and lost, she decided to sit back and relax in the orphanage. This worked for a bit until she was released on her 18th birthday, after this she was on her own for a bit. She took this time alone she had to learn how to fight, she spent time in the slums learning how to defend herself. She quickly earned a name for herself in the slums and had the respect of most criminal gangs. Somewhere at this point was when the AAF took over in the country through a coup d'etat and all the schools were shut down. While not a huge fan of schools or authority, Melina had high hopes for the AAF.

Due to said high hopes, Melina tried to enlist immediately. She went to their headquarters and was allowed into the building, inside she met another girl by the name of Ceres, who was the same age as her. They were both there to enlist and were put in a duel to see which one of them was the strongest, the duel took ages and no one came out on top but due to both of their performances they were both accepted. Years would pass with Melina and Ceres running up the ranks like stairs, eventually ending up as first and second in command.

## Appearance

Due to the fact that she was the descendant of a Dragonborn, her appearance shifted slightly from the normal humans. Her scleras were pitch black and her irises had a bright yellow shine, this along with the fact that her torso was covered in scales. Black and shiny scales covered her torso from the throat and down to her waist as well as out to her wrists, these scales were fireproof and would provide her with an extra layer of protection against blunt force trauma or stabbing attacks. Melina had black hair with red streaks going through it, these were surprisingly not dyed but natural. Due to her draconic nature, she grew tall and strong faster and easier than other people in her surrounding, eventually stopping at 179 cm and 68 kg.
