Appearance:
Mellany appears to be a pretty Chellish girl in her early twenties with pale skin and delicate facial features. She’s taller than most, but in a port city like Westcrown folks assume that comes from a trace of Ulfen blood in her ancestry. Careful observers will note the way her golden blond hair seems to glow in sunlight and her mismatched eyes—the right dark blue, the left silver grey—as signs that her ancestry might be other than human. Mellany likes to wear her hair long and loose, and combs it across the left side of her face to partially block her eye. Mellany’s preferred outfit is a long blue dress belted at the waist, a green cloak, and soft leather shoes.

Personality:
Mellany is happy and outgoing, an optimist even in the most dire circumstances. She’s lived among the back alleys of Westcrown long enough to know that people can be greedy and conniving, but she doesn’t let that knowledge keep her from being open and trusting. Mellany has had many acquaintances over the years, but the only close friend she’s ever had is Cat, her familiar.

Background:
Dozens of orphans and foundlings pass through the halls of Shelyn’s temple in Westcrown every year. The priests find ways to quietly pass the young ones on to good families without attracting the attention of the Cheliax authorities who would otherwise send the children into slavery or worse. Occasionally a priest will decide to keep a foundling in the temple and raise it themselves. Mellany was one of these children.

To be continued...

Why she's in jail:
Officially Mellany is in jail for theft. In reality, she spurned the advances of a local bigwig so he framed her for robbing his wife's jewelry. I'll flesh this out more as I work up the background.

Spells and Abilities Used:
Sleep, Healing Hex: Jelani, Gunser
