Due to the warm climate on the Crescent Isles, she wears a lot of revealing clothing, mostly flashing her long legs, collar bones, and shoulders.

### Personality

Melsanthée seems very intimidating to most of the people at Queen Elba's court. While being reserved in professional settings, she is very charming, and likes to flirt with the court's people. She is very confident in both her appearance and power. Everyone she meets is easily fascinated by her intrigueing poisture, her adorable laugh, and ability to make other people feel important. She loves to give out compliments because she likes how it makes people both uncomfortable and happy. Melsanthée is a good observer, said to be good at analysing people's character, which is why she is a cherished advisor to the queen.

As one of Queen Elba's lady's-in-waiting, Melsanthée is very devoted. She is aware of her duties and makes sure to fullfill them digilently. The most important person in her life, apart from Lysanthir, is her father general Dryathár Synbil, to whom she has a very close relationship. She is very proud of her family, though tries to avoid talking about her mother.

Despite being very flirtatious with both men and women at court, Melsanthée is not easily swoon by someone - despite her father's attempts to find her a suitable partner to marry. Secretly, Her biggest struggle is connecting to other's, which is ironic as she is a very sociable person. Secretly, she feels that people don't want to look deeper than her beautiful surface. This is why her aquaintance with Meister Tybern Parr came to great shock to everyone. Being head over heels for him, she never looked for another suitor after Tybern left the island, being certain he would return.

As a mother, Melsanthée is very protective and loving. Being very family-oriented, Lysanthir is her pride and joy and she would do anything to protect him - which is why she made sure he got evacuated savely to G'Terra before her death. Despite the talk at court, Melsanthée was proud having raised her son without his father for so long.
