Description

Melianthe is a tall elven woman with sleek skin the color of grey ash, violet eyes that seem to burn red at the pupil, and blonde hair. Most of this is usually covered up, however; when she walks the streets of Korvosa, she is invariably in a doctor's mask and a deeply hooded cowl to keep the sunlight from burning her eyes, and to hide her from the eyes of those prejudiced against dark skinned elves--eyes she has hid from most of her life. She has piercings of ebon along the length of her long ears and nose.

A former shiver addict haunted by past tragedies, she appears to have put the worst behind her, and has regained confidence with the death of Lamm. A loyal friend to her companions and a compassionate healer, she has begun to regain a rich, throaty laugh that shakes even the angriest bravo who dares to threaten her.

Background
Little is said of the elves of the night; some call them the dusk elves, or grey elves, and usually in a hissed whisper with a spat punctuation. Whether their blood is infused with drow, or if they are some other origin--one of many ancient races of elves, once mighty and now persecuted by drow and sun elf alike, and yet brooking with both in some quarters--few discuss the possibilities, possibly for fear of discovering flaws in the story of the race of elves, so well known for being haughty, xenophobic, and pure.

Melianthe is such an elf. Her small tribe in the Churlwood slain by daylight elves, she fled to from town to town, always harrassed and despised. After some years, she found Korvosa and descended into darkness. Dusk elves are despised, as many consider them kin to drow, and thus her attempts to honestly integrate into society were met with scorn, and the scorching sun. She soon drifted into Lamm's clutches. Discovering her ability to send messages in dreams, he convinced her that shiver would increase her powers...but instead used her to send messages from her hallucinatory dreams to him and his cronies in order for idle amusement. She was used like this for a nightmarish period of time.

Finally breaking free, she huddled under docks and in sewers out of sight, sick with withdrawal, but determined to be herself again. After long months of living in the bowels of Korvosa, shaking off the effects of shiver, she found herself surrounded by crawling arachnid and insectile vermin, and given power by a mysterious dark form just beyond the clusters of arthropods. This form told her that revenge is not always evil, and deception is not always a lie, and unto her a great scorpion came, to be her guide and companion.

Melianthe returned to the streets of Korvosa with new resolve: to heal those who had been made ill by Lamm and others. Disguising her alien beauty beneath a doctor's mask, she treated the sick, found companions if not friends, and bided her time. Revenge is not always evil, but its patience can be matched by its bloodiness.

She has piercings of ebon along the length of her long ears, and nose, and will chuckle unnervingly when asked if she has more. Among companions, out of her doctor's outfit, she wears considerably less.

She has three main faces to the world: alluring and uncomfortably sensual; a no-nonsense masked healer full of great compassion for the downtrodden; a former shiver addict haunted by past tragedies, still plagued by the occasional twitch in her weakest moments. None of them encapsulates her in the entirety. At her most confident and true, she possesses a rich, throaty laugh that shakes even the angriest bravo who dares to threaten her.
