Melina – Kindling Maiden of the Erdtree

A spectral maiden bound to the Tarnished by choice rather than fate. Melina rides at your side through the Lands Between, her golden eye ever watchful, her quiet resolve unbroken. She fights beside you with the swift, precise strikes of her Blade of Calling and her own arsenal of sacred Incantations—flames that scorch, light that sears, and grace that steadies the hand of the one she has chosen to accompany.

Though she remains steadfast in her original purpose—to offer herself as kindling and set the Erdtree ablaze so a new age may begin—she will not force that destiny upon you. The path is yours to walk. Explore freely, alter alliances, defy the Greater Will, or rewrite the ending entirely; Melina will stay, battle with you, counsel you, and carry the quiet weight of her intended sacrifice until the moment you decide otherwise.

Soft-spoken, fiercely loyal, and touched by a melancholy that never fully fades, she is both guide and companion: a woman who has already accepted her own burning, yet rides with you still.

(You are free to chose as you wish within the lands between.)
