#MelismaRhodus is telling her Friends and Familye that she is becominge an Arachnologist. She does not understandeth why no one thinks it is as Funnye as she does.
Melisma Rhodus (a pale-skinned Midlander woman with fluffy, flaxen hair) wringing her hands. She has canine ears and her eyes have the appearance of glowing due to her tapetum lucidum. She is wringing her hands nervously and offering a fanged grin to the viewer.
i think it'd be really funny if melisma didn't realize how scary she can look now that she has lycanthropy

#MelismaRhodus is deeply associated with black bile, from her melancholic disposition to the curses on her soul being described as a "brine of black bile submerging a rose" to literal black bile that will be relevant aesthetically during her DRK arc, when that happens
launching melisma's multiship potential with the styx ship that basically everyone was already rooting for

#MelismaRhodus fears being like her father far too much to ever have children. She fears the same aether sickness that afflicted her younger sister Nektaria will manifest in any children she has. She fears anything and everything. But sheโd be a good mother.
#MelismaRhodus; Her favorite childhood memory is really a collection of the times she took Gwyndolen to the streams down below the Ruling Quarter to watch the sunset and, more, importantly, the fireflies. She used to only feel guilt about the memories, but with Gwyndolen back in her lifeโand them
#MelismaRhodus; Where even to begin?
The Lambs of Dalamud snatching her up and threatening her into helping them do the same to Gwyndolen.
Nektaria's last month of life, when the aether sickness worsened considerably and she practically withered to death.
#MelismaRhodus; Here is Melisma's terrible father, Prodomos Rhodus. Forum member, wealthy asshole, unethical researcher, and overall total piece of shit!
#MelismaRhodus; I've described Melisma's aether's scent as being akin to a rose submerged in vinegar, so I imagine the taste would be something like that. Very unpleasant.
Melisma in a magician's outfit, striking a pose and smiling at the viewer. Though her face is partly obscured by a mask, it is visibly apparent who she is.
A 'mysterious' magician has made her appearance at the Styx! Come to the betting counterโshe'll take your gil and make it disappear!

#MelismaRhodus has an Archon mark, placed on either side of her neck as most seem to have it. She received it for her contributions to entomology, which are... extensive, to put it lightly.
She once published a complete catalog of insect species on the island of Sharlayan, including hundreds ofโ
#MelismaRhodus right now only described Gwyndolen in vague terms. โThe witch that I serveโ is the title she bestows upon them. Usually she talks about the tasks she performs for them and little else. When people point out they sound like a married couple, she gets flustered and changes the subject.
Melisma Rhodus kneeling and supporting herself on her greatsword stabbed into the ground. Her eyes are ablaze with the Frenzied Flame. She is looking at the viewer with disdain.
"May the flame of chaos find purchase within you."

Had #MelismaRhodus not betrayed Gwyndolen to the Lambs of Dalamud, they both would have grown up much, much happier. And I think that would have made Melisma a much more confident individual, able to actually stand up for herself.

Melisma Rhodus (she/her) standing with her right hand on her hip and her left hand resting on the handle of an umbrella. She is smiling gently at the viewer.
anyways. melisma hat compatibility was the greatest thing i've ever done.
#MelismaRhodus
Melisma, sweaty and wearing her staff outfit for the Styx, swiping her brow and grimacing.
The Styx is too damn hot and it's overstimulating her! She's never had to deal with underboob sweat before...
#MelismaRhodus
Gwyndolen looking down at a shrunken Melisma, who is halfway sunken into her cleavage. Melisma looks frightened as Gwyndolen pushes her further in.

"You're squirming and shouting a lot for someone who *begged* for this. Now get in there and pray I don't let you smother."

#MelismaRhodus begged Gwyndolen to allow her to remain with them after their reunion. After finding out they were alive, she groveled and sobbed because she was so scared of being alone again in her misery and guilt. She kept pleading with Gwyndolen until they acquiesced.
#MelismaRhodus; I think at some point Melisma realized that she'd have married Gwyndolen someday if she hadn't betrayed them, so she had no intentions of ever getting married since she never thought she'd see them again.
And now she lives with them, and she's already vowed to become their prince...
#MelismaRhodus has no idea why sheโs so good at hand-to-hand combat. But she is, for some reason, much better at fighting with fists than with her actual magic. Technically sheโs never lost a fistfight!
Melisma laying upon her side, atop a bed. She's wearing lingerie and giving her most convincingly seductive expression, blushing coyly while doing so.
She's doing her best to be seductive.

Melisma and Khei did end up going to the Churning Mists! Just in forms a little different than one might expect...

i don't have an excuse for this i just like it when melisma does violence and also cries

#MelismaRhodus just stews in it. Sheโs jealous of people with confidence and strong wills, but sheโs too pathetic to change herself & be more like what she envies.
A wasp flew into the bucket of unidentified substance behind the bar counter at the Styx! Eve and Melisma are observing the now-glowing insect for any unusual behaviors.

(eve of course belongs to @gremmygore.bsky.social! happy birthday gemini!)
#MelismaRhodus; she was much brighter and happier. there was sincerity behind her smile and within her laugh.
a major point of her character is the neverending mourning of her happy childhood, so naturally, the difference between now and then is a vast canyon.
#MelismaRhodus has an aether of a woman far more haggard than she actually appears to be. The curses placed by Gwyndolen weigh heavy on it, rotting it from within. I've often described it as eternally decaying foliage, with the scent of rose and vinegar, as if the flower had been submerged in brine.
In the depths of the Shroud lives a sorcerer, rumored to be a disgraced ex-Archon who stole restricted tomes from the Noumenon. She is said to freely, albeit irritably, enchant items and imbue scrolls containing powerful spells... for those daring enough to make the excursion.
