## MELISSA IN DETAIL

- In spite of her parents’ doubts, young Melissa worked hard and traveled far to discover the secret of alchemy, with the Ambition of attaining an official license and, upon her eventual return, bringing prosperity to the mountain hamlet of Eiche.
- Melissa saved her money to buy a cart, pulled by a mighty and loving auroch. This traveling workshop is full of mementos, notes and unusual ingredients.
- Melissa combines Gourmet, Spiritist and Sharpshooter: together with the rest of the group she adapted the Gourmet’s rules to represent alchemy, using five seasonal essences instead of tastes. Her alchemical scepters are custom arcane ranged weapons that she uses to fire her compounds, creating expanding clouds using Barrage.
- Taking inspiration from the wu xing’s Late Summer, Melissa’s Player and the rest of the group decided to add a fifth season to their setting, the Calm, which has its own seasonal essence and is a time of transition for the entire world when the elements coexist and combine in ways that are, so far, poorly understood.
- Melissa’s personal goals are rather simple, but the mystery of the Calm should have a deep influence on the story: of course, one or more Villains have plans for it.
