- Name:
Mella Kristelle - Age:
19 - Appearance
Generally, nothing special. Somewhat tall with a petite build and strong legs. Short dark hair, dressed in appropriate attire for a maid. A somewhat hard to read, neutral expression that seems to consider most people around her a bit annoying. Her most striking feature, is perhaps her violet eyes. A somewhat rare trait often considered to be connected to high ranking members of the church. - Gender:
Female - Personality:
In a few words, a bit standoffish with a penchant for dry wit, sarcasm, and generally thinking people are a bit dumb. A neutral, unreadable and slightly tired expression. Mella performs her duties as a maid with a practiced professionalism. Polite and friendly, but not friendly. She does menial tasks assigned to her without complaint, attends to her lords or ladys requests without questions, preempts whatever it is they could possibly want and ensures to do as they wish to the best of her abilities. In effect, she's a model maid as far as her employers are concerned.
Aside from perhaps one little quirk of hers - she's an absolutely greedy and selfish little fiend. Not that she'll steal from her employers, no, that's a good way to get put in prison or worse. She'll do whats expected of her no questions ask...but want something else from her? Better pay up. Make an unexpected trip to town for some reason? Pay up. Spike the drink of some nobleman during a party? Pay up. Spy on other maids? Pay up - and you best pay well. This mostly translates to her doing just doing above the bare minimum as far as her work goes to appear competent.
For the most part though, she pinches money, keeps her head down, and looks after no one else but herself. While the greed didn't come about until after she gained her memories, this life suits her just fine. - Abilities/Skills:
Mella is an exceptional maid. Cooking, cleaning, housekeeping, gardening, caretaking...you name it. If its a domestic skill of some manner she can perform to excel. Mostly as one could expect from a maid, a few more skills in more clandestine areas, too. Rumor spreading, information gathering. Some perhaps, breaking and entering, sneaking, theft and has been quietly trying to learn some swordsmanship for some minor self defense in her little free time.
Outside of these things, though, Mella has no exceptional skills - she was never meant to be a major character in any route but one.
Well.
Save for the fact she's clairvoyant. A secret she doesn't let anyone know, nor does she want anyone to know. Using still surfaces of water, mirrors, or other 'pure' reflective surfaces she can, should she desire, see events that are happening far away. Its not perfect, and she can only hear sound in the purest of reflections like mirrors, and the visions may be cloudy and unfinished otherwise.
This is an ability ever held by those blessed by the divine and a closely guarded ability. The missing Saintess Rhamelle Seraphiella Kristiel was said to possess this ability. - History:
Prior to becoming a maid, the person who had once been Mella, was a hard working cubicle monkey and desk jockey, and something of a former delinquent who had a history of crime in their former world before straightening their lives out as best they could. Playing games like Cross Heart Academy wasn't even particularly something they were fond of or had even considered doing too much of. The only reason she ever did, is because a friend left it over at her place one day, and quickly became engrossed in the more sim and business management routes that the game offered later on in the second acts.
About three years ago, is when she'd regain these memories. Confused at first, because one she had no idea what character she was, two, she thought this might have been punishment from the gods for running away, she quickly came to terms with who she was and what had happened. She was the Saintess - and in most routes, she ended up dying. Well yeah fuck that she already died once from overwork she wasn't gonna do that again. It was a good thing she was used to long hours and pretty monotonous work like this.
She resolved to solve this issue by amassing a fortune, becoming a mostly independent woman, and living a cushy life. Starting by saving up money to start a business. - Original Role and Background:
The maid Mella Kristelle was for the most part, in Cross Heart Academy a complete background character. A maid working for the von Afah household, and the personal maid of their son, Reginald. In most routes, she's neither seen nor heard aside from a few references. In most routes, she often perishes in the conflicts that ruins the Afah house.
The only route in which she ever becomes relevant, is if the Heroine decides to Romance the man that will later become the Archbishop of the church. In this route, the Heroine effectively becomes a high ranking inquisitor and member of the church, maxing out both divine and more clandestine abilities in the process. The Archbishop asks her to look into the disappearance of Saintess Rhamelle Seraphiella Kristiel who disappeared some years ago under suspicious circumstances.
After following clues and looking into things, its discovered Mella, is in fact the saintess. Wanting nothing to do with the guilded cage of the church, the Heroine is forced to either fight her in which she is accidentally killed, let her go where she becomes effectively a homeless vagrant and leaves the country, or dragged back to the church and placed under stricter lock and key for the good of the kingdom. - Other:
Carries a small handheld mirror on her at all times.
