-What You Can’t See-

Personality: Melyra has always been a lively damsel, full of mirth and a love of life. More important, however, is her trait of deep affectionate and adoration of her father, Jared. Aware of the tragedies in his past, she has always done her best to cheer him up. Young and full of hope, she always sought to encourage him that everything would turn out right in the end, even though he had every reason to believe that her mother, Telrunya, was dead and that, thus, his reason for living was also gone. She has always known that the only thing keeping him alive and sane - a thinking equine, instead of a dumb beast - was herself. At first the needs of a helpless child and later the unflagging determination of a youthful spirit to energize him. Still, even the most optimistic cannot combat years of grief and heartache, though she has never given up, not even to the last moment. She can be quite stubborn, holding on even when all hope seems lost. For her family - which has only been her father for as long as she can remember - she would do absolutely anything. And she treasures the memories that he has given her of their time together, as well as the memories he has gifted her, tales of her mother and what a wonderful mare she was, as well as other members of family and dear friends that Melyra has never met.


History: While Melyra's life should have been perfectly normal, full of loving family and happy home, she was born just a day before her mother was stolen by Gehenna. What's more, cruel fate led some stranger into bringing word to her father news that her mother had been killed. So, sending her yearling half-brother to live with his family in Warlord's Stronghold, Jared took Melyra away from lands that had deemed fit to tear from him the only mare he had ever loved. As it was, only the daughter they'd had, now motherless, was the only thing to keep him alive and sane. They wandered, never staying anywhere for very long. Kind mares along the way and his knowledge of herbs kept Melyra not only alive, but thriving, and while there was always an undercurrent of depthless sorrow in her father, the young filly led a relatively uneventful foalhood.

By the time Melyra was three, her father's health was beginning to deteriorate more and more. While not exactly old, neither was Jared young. And sadly, grief and tragedy had laid her father low with terrible blow after terrible blow in the past. So, while other girls her age were beginning to set out to make their own lives, she was sticking close to her father, tending to him with herbs which he taught her the use of, keeping him company during the day, making sure he was comfortable at night. For two years, her life revolved around her beloved father, ignoring any pleas on his part for her to live her life, instead of "wasting" her time on him. She loved to hear him tell tales of her mother and of the happy times they'd had together and she knew it made him feel better, so she often asked for such stories. Even after hearing them a hundred times, she never tired of them.

And then, on the eve of her sixth year of life, her father passed away. Though she grieved deeply for his loss, Melyra's hope is that now her father has been reunited with her mother in Utopia, where they can spend eternity together. Meanwhile, though, she is alone now and, with no ties anywhere in the realms that she and her father traveled, the young Vanner/Thoroughbred cross has decided it is time to go home. Back to the realm where she was born, to reconnect with the places and hopefully the people her father and mother knew. Perhaps her older half-brother still lives? Only one way to find out now...
