Melena

Dame Duchess Melena, of Drandmir, HFS

”Come to the dark side....I have cookies.”

"Does Melena have a last name? Or is she a pop icon like Sting or Prince?"

Biography

Known as "that skinny chick," Melena can be found roaming around events in her skimpy garb, hanging out with the suspicious characters best known as the Praetorian Guard, the remnants of the Nightmares, the venerable order of Dragavon, the House of the Shaded Grotto, the Fallen of Kalladen, House 37, Clan Mook, and the shy populace of Kalladen. Whether avoiding drama or creating it, she'd rather be in the kitchen or on the field kicking ass.

Occasionally found as Nesta P. Morley, her Amtgard persona.

History - or How a Girl like That ended up in a Group like This:

Began HFS as a Morconorian when she was dragged out to the now-destroyed Minglewood Bowl on the campus of Baylor University, and discovered she liked hitting people with foam...a lot. After the split between the Shire of Morconor and Drandmir, she decided to stay on with the Drandmirians and soon found herself in office as High Lady...and then High Lady again the reign immediately following. She inspired a rebirth of artistic tendencies, roleplay, as well as fighting in Drandmir.
