Threads of Fate / Dewprism

V: In Plain Sight (Pre-Game)

Mel moved to live in the forests around Carona hundreds of years ago, well before Elroy and his apprentices attempted to take over the area. She lives quietly, sending her Poppul Purrels in to town to shop for her, unless she needs something more than Carona has to offer. On those rare instances, she’s been known to take a ship out. Rarely, she has crossed into the East Heaven Kingdom, where the other mages instinctively give her wide berth. Ages ago, she was an advisor to one of the early kings, the one who had seen to it that the royal line would protect Valen’s [relic], but that has long since been forgotten.

Content to live quietly, largely dismissed as a “crazy witch” by the locals despite her power, Mel continues to keep an eye on the [relic]. Just in case.

V: Facing the Past (During the Game)

After so many years watching people trying to get Valen’s [relic] without success - some even leading to their deaths - Mel can feel the winds of change blowing. She wouldn’t call it Mint’s fate to be the one to unlock the secrets of the Dewprism, but Rue… she recognized him instantly for what he was, even if he was unaware himself. The time had come to face Valen’s legacy, whether the world was ready or not. The least she could do was attempt a little damage control.

V: Beyond Duty (Post-Game)

With the Dewprism out of reach for now, Mel no longer needs to stay in Carona. She travels more, mostly to the East Heaven Kingdom to get a feel for what passes for a high class magician these days.

She is not often impressed, but some are promising. It’s almost enough to make her consider taking an apprentice on at long last. She has yet to feel even the briefest touch of time weighing against her, but it would be nice to have a legacy of her own.

Crossovers (Worldhopping)

V: The Starway [Relic]

Melodia had, in fact, created a [relic] of her own - nothing fancy, ironically, but it does the job. The Starway is nowhere near as ambitious as Valen’s Dewprism, serving a single purpose - not to alter the cosmos, but to allow her to travel them at her leisure.

V: The “Sorceress”

Melodia - or Mel, as they call her these days - has posed herself as a reclusive and eccentric sorceress out in the rarely traveled countryside. The superstition of the locals ensures she’s not bothered, for the price of a few paltry “blessings” every now and then. But you can only be alone so long before you get bored, and she’s looking forward to seeing how the world has changed.

V: Fairy Born (pre-BOTW)

Daughter of the Great Fairy Cotera and a very bold Sheikah, Melodia stayed close to her mother until word of the threat of Calamity Ganon rose. While her father joined the ranks of Sheikah that were studying ancient technology in hopes of aiding the princess and champions, she was sent on a pilgrimage to collect the blessings of each of her aunts and hopefully return a healer powerful enough to offer her aid.

When Calamity Canon awakens, however, she is too far away to join in the battle, and instead watches from a distance as everything fell apart. While she knew that it was unlikely she could have made much difference, she still feels extremely guilty and goes into hiding.

V: Slumbering Powers (during BOTW)

After having failed to aid the champions and princess during the fight with Calamity Ganon, Mel dedicated herself to intense study, wanting to strengthen her powers enough to make a difference when the princess’ Champion returned. Unfortunately, she’s mostly left to her own devices as her mother and aunts have all been sealed away.
