Years ago, Eupraxia was the Wyvern Rider I had, but she's of the lance using Magvelian variety.

It was only a matter of time before I conjured one who uses axes rather than lances. I was going to give her a Bloodthirsty personality, but I decided to save that for another time.

Biography: Melina is one of the many 1/2 mermaids born to Junichiro and Palutena. Being part of the 3rd line of 1/2 mermaids, Melina was born a day after Hiltrude and is the twin sister to Zosime. As she left Palutena's womb first, she is the older twin of Zosime. As with many of her siblings, Melina has long enjoyed listening to her father's tales of her travels. They eventually inspired her to be a fighter like her dad, but when she saw her older sister Eupraxia pick up a lance and take the reins of a Wyvern Rider, she decided that she too will be a Wyvern Rider, but one that wields axes instead of lances. After training in how to use an axe, Melina's next task was to tame a wyvern. She came across one breed of wyvern one day that had escaped an illegal roadside zoo. After reporting the zoo to the Olympian officials, it was shut down and Melina was permitted to adopt and take care of the wyvern. She found her wyvern had venom, but decided it could prove to be useful. It was approptiately named Viper and he eventually took a liking to Eupraxia's wyvern Xenia, who went onto being her mate for life. When it came time to spend time on the continent of Gaia, Melina tagged along with those eligible (With the exception of Eurydice who initially stayed behind) to go and was 2nd in command of the Army's Wyvern division. However, her time as 2nd in command did not last forever as the unit, sans Eupraxia & Melina, was wiped out along with the rest of the army with the exception of their present siblings by the unexpected attack by the Supreme Forces personally lead by the Supreme Archduke. Despite this, Melina was quick to join the newly formed Gaia Alliance and fight to take back Gaia, and any threats that may arise back home. Melina is known to be a bit of a hothead as she can flare up easily when angered. Nonetheless, she is still a friendly individual and is just as caring as her parents are. She enjoys reading the Art of War by Sun Tzu, often pulling the best lines from it. However, like many of her siblings, she has no forgiveness for poachers. Enjoys fishing the most.

Abilities: Being 1/2 Mermaid, Melina takes on her mermaid form anytime she's in the water. In the water, she enjoys the increase to her Dodge/Avoid her other 1/2 mermaid siblings enjoy. However, given her class already has a high movement level, it does not see an increase at all. Melina is a capable fighter with good strength, defense, even skill. Despite having a talent for Dark Magic, her magic & resistance are not as noteworthy, but they've a decent enough growth rate that they can at least catch up to being half of her strength & defense. Her speed & luck are also praise worthy. Melina is a Wyvern Rider, but has trained in the arts of the Plegian & Nohrian style Wyvern Riders. Therefor, she uses Axes as her weapons rather than lances like her older sister Eupraxia (Who trained in the Magvelian style). As a result, she can gain Lunge & Tantivy at the same time, and her promotions include Wyvern Lord and Malig Knight. Melina however, trades Rally Defense for Quick Burn in the former class, and has a Dark Tome focus in the Malig Knight class rather than using different anima tomes like those in Nohr do. She starts off with the following weapons and skills.

Iron Axe: Affordable and easy to wield. It has 40 uses.

Raider Axe: Good for follow-up attacks. With Weapon Advantage, strips foe's armor. Breaks after 40 uses.

Fili Shield: An amulet that protects fliers from arrows.

Venomous Bite: Melina's personal skill. A Combat Art that involves Melina having Viper chomp an adjacent enemy with his venomous fangs inflicting poison. This always deals 10 HP of damage.

Strength +2: Increases Strength by 2.

Canto: Can move again if all movement has not been used up. Won’t activate if an attack is initiated.

Fire Emblem: Nintendo, Intelligent Systems
