Mel Medarda
physical attributes Stylized gold osprey wings, collapsible. Solari shaped halo, concealable. Color-changing eyes.
non-physical qualities Enhanced durability, strength, bravery, and pain tolerance. Sixth sense for others in danger (not self). Reduced emotional control.
reasoning Although from an aggressive land that typically solves problems via violence, Mel prefers diplomacy and alternate means—so much so that she was exiled for it. In Piltover, she uses all her skills to advance a new future, a better future to protect the whole city from those that would prey on it. She even sacrifices power, profits, and personal connections for peace when voting for an independent Zaun. She takes the long view to solve problems without violence, physical intimidation, and those hallmarks. Mel will sacrifice the individual, even those she cares about, for the sake of the community as a whole.
Her status as a Legend first grants recognition for all that she has done and her values, despite her scheming politics and manipulation. It further encourages her to embrace this role and these ideals. However, at the same time, as many challenges in Folkmore invoke violence, those very ideals are challenged. Mel will seek to meet them, both with her abilities as a Legend and as an Aspect Host.
