She wears similar version of her dress from her elvish depictions, as well as wearing jewelry. She wore a golden mask as well, with the face on the mask depending on what species was worshiping her.

Personality

Compared to other deities, Melora comes off as an impartial goddess. She answered prayers to those who promised to respect and give back to the natural world. To her, she has given all the gifts that she can to the people of Crith already. However, to those who continually exploited the natural world without giving anything back, she was a furious and relentless goddess.
