Melody shares similar origin to Dante, being that they were both born to nobility, with little to no desire for establishing a monarch. However, the similarities end there, as her past is almost like an alternate take on his own. A careful reminder to value what you have in life, as the means by which it can be seized, are often times, not the most pleasant. While she was fortunate to not have such a title forced upon her, such that she could recommend her youngest sibling to take up the mantle and not be reprimanded, the kingdom would ultimately fall to a band of terrorists, and the royal family forced into exile. Following these heinous acts, nomadic living would reduce their numbers, and from there, a tribe known as the Dragon Clan would be founded by the renmants. This involved a sacred prayer to one of six known mythical deities. Their plea? " Liberation from disgracing their homeland " In whatever form that make take shape. The Dragon God obliged, decreeing that on one fateful day approximately ten years in the future, they will unequivocally reclaim that which was stolen from them. This granted them immortal bodies with superhuman recovery rates. However, this was only so long as their mission remained undone. Upon completion, they would all vanish from Earth's face, such is the price for their contract. As a result, the Dragon God instructed them to scatter to the ends of the Earth to build their strength as well as procreate to preserve their lineage. Melody is sent to Dante's kingdom to locate a suitor purely for breeding purposes, however something unexpected occurs during her stay. Rather than die for vengeance, the fallen princess turned warrior-maiden, quickly found herself wanting to live for the young prince, be it as his lover or his sword. With her contract having already been set in motion, this naturally did not sit well with the Dragon God, which resulted in a mutation in her appearance. For every instance her heart sways off course, she will attain reptilian-like scales over her body. This gradual process will inevitably lead to a full-blown dragon transformation and her leading a new life of servitude as his henchmen while at the same time robbing her of any possible happiness with a human male.

~Personality~
Melody is foul-mouthed and ill-tempered. However, this seems to stem largely from her predisposition of not being long for the world. Having directly experienced the pain of loss with the fall of her homeland, she figured it'd be much easier to coast by the remainder of her fleeting existence without forming meaningful bonds. This way, she won't be missed when the time comes for her grand departure. That was until she met Dante ofc.

~Sexual Orientation~
Bisexual.
Melody is secretly attracted to both genders.

Wizardry.

Ice Magic.
Melody can freely manipulate the element of ice to great effect, be it breathing icy mist or directly affecting the temperature to hinder opponents unaccustomed to chill . She can incorporate this form of magic into her self-styled martial arts 'Fist of the Vengeful Maiden' which focuses heavily on numbing joints and motor functions. She is also often seen forming slippery rinks at her feet to skate with augmented mobility, and prides herself on being the absolute pinnacle of taijutsu.

~Grade Weapon~

Not yet issued.

~Deviant / Partial Dragon Form.~

While certainly a "curse" from her perspective, Melody attains heightened physical prowess whenever her scales surface from her conflicted emotions. In addition to scales that correspond with her natural skin colour, she attains blackened sclera to contrast with turquoise slit-like irises, and a pair of elongated canines to add to the largely primal state. However, it should be noted that the scales are only visible so long as she's agitated over Dante or fighting for his betterment. They fade once she's got her head back on straight. The number of scales will increase everytime she slips up though, and her physical parameters will grow proportionally. This creates something of a time ticker for her humanity.

~Immortality~

Melody is physically incapable of dying until her mission is finished.

~Healing factor~

Melody falls into brief hibernation spells whenever she's critically wounded. Upon awakening, her wounds are completely healed.
