Biography & Lore:

Born In Allira to an affluent shop keeper and a caring mother Melaniphi had always read.
In school she was bullied as her passive nature and skittishness made her a very large and easy target for bullies.

She was not long normal schooling however as she was found to be exceptionally bright and began studies at the college of Elbion at quite a young age. Due to her sheer adeptness in healing she was soon hired as a combat medic by a noble waging a blood war over a territory dispute with a tribe of orcs.

She showed a great ability and caring for the nobles soldiers and many owed her their lives. However she was finally released from service after a company she was assigned to was decimated.
She was the only survivor.

The company of soldiers that found her said she was "drained of energy, holding the body of one of the younger soldiers that had been torn in half. Muttering healing spells and trying to push his intestines back in. "Gotta stop the bleeding...Stay with me Jacks..." she had been saying it over and over, Even as the soldiers took her away from the slaughter. She was paid well and discharged being sent back to the college.

When back at the college she found the confines of it oppressing leaving her to spiral further into the depression that was crushing her spirit plagued with the ghosts of the battlefield following her like a rain cloud threatening to consume her.

Then the legion took her in. Being spotted by a recruiter he approached the girl. And they talked. Veteran to veteran. He knew where she was. He knew who could help.

The steel legion. Once a massive, influential private army for hire. Now reduced to a small guild headed by ex-lieutenant now Captain Maxine Steelborne in Elbion.

Falling into small the mix of young promising fighters and skilled veterans. Finally trying to get back to the battlefields she thought would never be possible with a confidence she thought lost to her younger years.

Fighting for the highest bidder and finally finding a place that’s needs her as badly as she needs them.
