Melisande’s precognitive, and she’s not afraid to revel in it. Her precognition is tactile, requiring touch; and she’s rather skilled at deciphering what she sees (or at least she’s a skilled-enough actress to make other’s believe it.) She tends to use this ability to make money in bars, but it has its practical uses as well. She mostly uses it to stay ahead of the curve and to keep those who hunt her off her trail. In addition, Melisande has some degree of skill with Aerokinesis. It’s her main form of defense mostly, and she’s killed with it before and isn’t afraid to do so again.

She was pregnant once, but an abortion was forced upon her.

She’s lost in the woods and has dirt under her fingernails, exiled by the bitter and the old who looked into her like she was a mirror and could not stand the sight. Her hair is long and curls beneath the sun like a crown. She sleeps the poison sleep and dreams of flying free. She loves, wholly and unashamed, so deeply that she thinks it might consume her. She knows in her heart that this is what makes her mighty, and she will fight tooth and nail for it; she will use every dirty trick in the book, she will use magic and lips painted pink and the beauty and wisdom given her by a long line of wild queens. She is noble, by birth and nature, and birds come to her call, for all the creatures of the wild, all the true, unsullied beings of the earth adore her for the delight and desire alight in her soul. She is defined by her love; but it is she who defines what her love is, and what she would do with the vast power of it. She will come in from the wild, into the palace - perhaps hand in hand with her prince, perhaps standing tall and alone - and with her grace she will reignite a kingdom.-The Fairytale Princess by Okayophelia.
Melisande never knew her sister, but she always knew she was the second child. Born to two parents who didn’t particularly want her, Melisande grew a hardened heart from a very young age. Screaming arguments abounded where she would be forced to remind her parents that she was the child and they were the adults.
And then she was raped and everything just fell apart from there. It wasn’t a particularly vicious or brutal thing, she wasn’t beaten and she wasn’t terribly harmed, but it did happen. She had been seeing a young man, and he wanted to move faster than she did, and when she said no, he held her down and did it anyway. She grew heavily pregnant from the rape, and despite Melisande’s insistence that she wanted to keep the child; that it wasn’t the baby’s fault. Her parents dragged her to abortionist, and the child was done away with.
Melisande describes the abortion as far more violent than her sexual assault had ever been.
It was later that year that Melisande decided she needed to leave, and leave she did. It wasn’t a planned escape either, she ran from home with nothing but the clothes on her back. But this was Paris, and there’s always been methods for women to survive in Paris.
She’d grown into her body, and with each man she slept with for money; Melisande believed she was devaluing what had happened to her. That sex was now her choice, and it was okay. She saved every last coin she made until she was able to afford travel from Paris, and so began her life as a gypsy.
Place to place, Melisande slowly discovered the world. From London to Berlin, from Athens to every part of Asia. But she hadn’t truly felt any of it until she met Jonathan Beragon, a Spanish vampire turned around 200 years before she was born. Despite the inherent racism between their species (and the lure of Melisande’s blood), they actually had a rather good time together. She met him in a bar on the south side of San Francisco in the early 30’s, the day after Prohibition ended.
Melisande forever claims that Jonathan Beragon was the best sex of her life until an avenging angel by the name of Seraia murdered him.
Thrown adrift once more, and now in mourning over the monster she almost – sort of loved, Melisande found her way to St. Gabriel’s by the late 90’s after once again travelling on the wind, as free a spirit as there had ever been. She stayed there, graduated, learned the ways of this new world, and she found great joy in the art of computers and hacking into other people’s email accounts.
And it was a few years later that Melisande caught whiff of Seraia, the vampire who burned himself alive for the whole world to see, and the formation of Holy Cross.
She saw her chance and took it, and she now plans to bring down the order from within.
