Appearance
Physical Description
Quite slender physique. She spend most of her time with her nose in her books than working on her body.
Facial Features
Besides her round cheeks, round glasses and a circular face, the only noteworthy thing that isn't even visible is her horrible eyesight.
Identifying Characteristics
Although she looks like a traditional wizard. She differentiates herself with her hat, glasses and her hair in two pigtails.
Physical quirks
She's constantly aware of her surroundings. The less space she can occupy, the better.
Apparel & Accessories
Without her glasses she can't see further than a hand from her face. Besides her backpack she has an extra bag for her tea supplies and herbalism kit. She chose a wand for her spell casting focus.
Special abilities
Melody is most comfortable casting spells from the school of Illusions
Mentality
Education
Although she was home schooled, her parent's connection to Presia's council gave her an education that is comparable to some of the best schools in Desyia.
Employment
Never officially employed, she would often help out a tortle named Aria in her Tavern, serving patrons, cleaning dishes and grocery runs. Melody never wanted any payment for her service. Instead Aria taught her different tea recipes.
In order to cross the border, she worked for Wendy Roffinac, better known as Big Mama, owner of a ship with a small crew also called Big Mama. Melody and her friend Lexi lacked in the physical department, but Wendy had a use for their intellectual capabilities. Lady Roffinac was struggling with a jet powered engine for a while now and asked Melody and Lexi to take a look at it. Although Melody had no experience in engineering, Wendy's blueprints were clear enough for them to make sense. Putting two and two together, they built the engine over a time frame of 2 days. As payment for their work, Wendy flew them to Kaeda.
Failures & Embarrassments
- Melody failed the state wizard exam 3 times
Mental Trauma
The Pendragon household was never physically nor magically abusive to Melody, but it still exerted a lot of pressure on her. Even though she loves her parents, she can't help but to get nervous around them, especially her own mother.
Intellectual Characteristics
Her creative use of illusions show her intellectual capabilities pretty well. Unfortunately her fear of failure can completely shut her down from trying anything at all. She's comfortable enough with Illusion magic for her to cast it effortlessly, but when asked to perform other feats of magic she might struggle with that.
Morality & Philosophy
In an effort to please those around her, she usually refrains from making any controversial statements, but that doesn't mean that she stands her ground in certain scenarios. She shares many of her believes with her best friend.
- Alcohol is poison. So is anything that worsens your ability to function properly.
- Prophecies are a load of nonsense. You are in charge of your own path and responsible for your own decisions.
Something (or rather someone) that she doesn't believe in, is herself.
person.sexuality
Sheltered from the outside world Melody never met many people. Any relationships she made were regulated by her parents. Nothing could get in the way of her studies.
Once she started experiencing the world for herself, she met a couple of wonderful people, but love is still a mystery for her.
person.gender_identity
Born a female, she assumes the gender that she entered the world as.

Hygiene
In the Pendragon household, it was customary to shower once every day. As an adventurer that isn't always possible anymore. If she can't clean herself within 3 days, she'll ask her fellow party members to find a place where they can take a bath or she'll sneak of in order it.

As a state wizard you earn enough to live in a mansion. They sent me off with a small allowance of 25 gold pieces. Ten of those coins have been used to buy supplies for my tea set.

The Pendragon household has strong ties with Presia's government. All of its members have been state wizards at some point in their life. Melody loves her family.
