Biography

Melani

Founder of the Spireshadow Drift

thoughtful · reflective · compassionate · idealistic

Though generations removed from the first gaolers to leave the Southern Icefield, Melani grew up quietly fascinated by the Order of the Seekers and their quest to search out traces of the Shade in all the lands. But their story also raised questions for her. Did their mission bring them joy and purpose? Or was it a grim necessity and nothing more? Did they have a choice in it, or was it a compulsion laid upon them because of who and what they had been created to be, as the first children of the Icewarden? What were their inner lives like? Did they love the lands and the dragons that their work protected? What does it mean to truly seek?

Eventually these thoughts led her around to the idea of establishing a group that would be like a mirror of the ancient Seekers, taking the opposite course of action but working toward a similar goal of purifying the world. Instead of journeying far and wide, they would make their home in one place. Instead of rooting out the Shade from everything around them, they would search for the antithesis of the Shade within themselves and then cultivate it in the world. (Which begs the philosophical question of what the antithesis of the Shade actually is. Melani has some ideas, mainly focused around love, magic, and self-actualization, but this is still somewhat of a work in progress.)

Despite her youth, Melani succeeded in drawing together a group of dragons, some who were interested in her ideas, some who liked the sound of a clan where beauty and freedom, peace and love were paramount, and some who just needed a place to be. Along with her friends Iarla and Shayadd, these formed the foundation of the Spireshadow Drift, named for the Singing Spire, a crystalline mountain that rises up to the west of Twilight’s Vale, the forested slopes that the drift now call home.

Melani used to have a habit of plucking loose petals off her blossoms when nervous. She's worked hard to overcome it but occasionally lapses.

She has a meditative practice of tracing small labyrinth patterns in dirt or sand. Sometimes she'll mark out the lines with pebbles, crystals, or flowers instead. She's intrigued by the idea of art that's created only to be destroyed, which has led to her reflecting on permanence versus impermanence and what that means for her path.

She doesn't really like being alone.
