Mellayna is a grounding force amid the tempest that often surrounds Eldring, offering counsel, comfort, and a steady hand when the storm threatens to consume her.   Mellayna’s appearance mirrors her connection to the winds that whisper through the Court of Storm and Surge. Her silver hair flows like wind-swept clouds caught in an eternal breeze. Her eyes, a piercing shade of azure, carries the wisdom of distant horizons, reflecting the calm understanding that defines her. Her skin, kissed by the cool touch of mist, bears the faint scent of rain and salt, as if the storm’s essence lingers around her. Her movements are fluid and deliberate, a reflection of her ability to navigate the tumultuous waters of courtly intrigue and combat alike with grace and composure.   Mellayna’s bond with Eldring is rooted in trust and friendship, far deeper than any formal duty. She serves not because she must, but because her loyalty to Eldring is unwavering and genuine. While others in the court may view her as merely a valet, those who observe closely see the depth of her dedication—a quiet but fierce protector who shields Eldring not with a blade, but with her insight, guidance, and unwavering presence. Mellayna is the voice of reason when tempers flare, the anchor that keeps Eldring grounded when the winds of passion and fury threaten to sweep her away.   Her role as valet is performed with meticulous care and devotion. Mellayna ensures that Eldring’s armor is polished and his attire suited for any occasion, but her true gift lies in her ability to read the currents of mood and tension around her master. She anticipates his needs before she speaks, offering comfort when her burdens grow too heavy and sharp words of counsel when his path becomes clouded. In moments of doubt, Mellayna’s quiet presence provides Eldring with the clarity and strength she needs to weather the storm.
