Luna Plena

The Full
(n) a person who
loves the moon.
❝Long have the bloodline of Highmoon served as court advisors to their monarch. Revered and despised, loved and feared, notable Highmoon sorcerers are polarizing figures in the history of their kingdom. Some relished in the ardor of the commonfolk whilst others demanded their fear. The women possess a stronger connection to the supposed source of their power, the moon, and by extension moonstones. They replenish their magic by basking in its great light, which is thought to have turned their hair a shimmering silver.❞

Called the "Lunar Flower of the Wood," Melantha is often recalled as possessing a certain unworldly allure and poise. With a mystifying nature and candid wonder of the world around her, the lunar sorceress unsurprisingly hosts several qualities to be ascribed such a nickname. A servant of the moon goddess, embodiment of womanhood and grace, Melantha exudes intoxicating feminity in a nature both nurturing and at times sensuous. Though she is reverent to the moon and night, her mixed parentage favors her a warmer complexion than that of her family. Champagne blonde hair well-kempt and pleasantly fragrant often falls about her cheeks and temples. Her eyes shine as dew-soaked lilacs, with a diamond face framed in cheekbones high and filled. But perhaps to enthrall her suitors most, the sorceress possesses lips both heart-shaped and well-rounded, full as though held to a pout.
A woman of mild nature where her curiosity is not concerned, Melantha retains herself in social affairs but will trade in verbal sparring where necessary. The narrow-minded and insular will find no warmth in her company. Her station as court sorcerer affords her gowns of costly tailoring in both fabrics and embroidery. Seemingly by her own preference, they often don plunging necklines and squeezing thread work. No matter the quality of her garments, she is seldom without her signature moonstone accessories.
D E F I N I N G T R A I T S
♛ Ｉｎｄｅｐｅｎｄｅｎｃｅ ♛“I am no bird; and no net ensnares me.”Self-reliant from a young age, Melantha is not one to cry out for a savior. Her path is her own and to be imposed another will surely be met with resistance.
♛ Ｓｔｒｏｎｇ-Ｗｉｌｌｅｄ♛"Be not distracted by comparison, but captivated by purpose."When faced with obstacles, Melantha endeavors to question and challenge them, be they people or circumstances.
♛ Ａｄｖｅｎｔｕｒｏｕｓ♛“Let us step into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.”Having met merchants of faraway lands come to peddle their goods in her home, Melantha dreams of setting off to places unknown.
