Melenae Navarra

Personality
Melenae is an honorable and kind-hearted woman. Cautious and observant, she will take care in her pursuits, however she is tough in the face of danger. She fully accepts her heritage and often refers to herself as a 'half-breed' and never a 'full-blood elf' or human. She likes things to be how she is; straightforward and to the point.

History
Melenae was born in the town of Hazelcliffe, North of Ashcliffe, near Dawnstar. Her parents, an Elven man named Zylorin and a human woman named Luella had no other children together. Luella, however, had two children before Melenae was born; Rhett and Haylan of which their father is unknown.

Being a Verani, Zylorin always favoured the bow in battle; believing that is a superior weapon for hunting in the dark of the forests and best enables him to use his superior eyesight. He gave Melenae a bow at a very young age, training her almost daily. He often regaled her in tales of his adventures in the Wastelands and elsewhere in the lands, all stories of where his services were needed the most. Which she loved, wishing to be like him one day.

The Wastelands
After she turned 16, they travelled to The Wastelands where Melenae joined their Initiate Ranks, under the care of Jayce Ryswel, Captain of the Ranger and Scout Divisions. She was keen to prove herself as she trained and worked hard to rise quickly thought the ranks of the initiates.

By the age of 18, she was already rewarded the title of Warden, nearly a year earlier than the other recruits.

Utilising her skills, Jayce placed her in one of the Scouting Divisions where she met a Dwarf named Exon Garth, First Scout of the Scarlet Oak Division. He was often away on missions, so his second in command would look after the new Wardens; an Elven woman named Evelynn Akaros. Melenae soon discovered she was just as ruthless about training as her father, so her first years as a Warden were tough, but she still continued to excel.

Some of the other recruits took to teasing her about her heritage, but came under swift and ruthless discipline from Evelynn for their attitudes; including remarks back about their own heritage and related jokes. Melanae started calling herself a Half-Breed which helped to stop the teasing even further. The Scarlet Oak Division soon became a much stronger team in which Melenae learnt a lot of new skills.

She spent the next 18 years with the Scarlet Oak Division. Afterwhich she was moved to the Hawthorn Division were she spent a further 6 years working through the ranks until her 7th year, when she was rewarded the rank of First Scout.
