In her natural form, at least as far as anyone can tell, a Dolathi looks like some kind of humanoid-shaped, featureless gooey mass. The flesh is pure-white and hairless. However, this form is almost never assumed. Normally, Melody is encountered as an attractive, young Rowaini woman of average height, about 5'6", with a slender and beautifully shaped figure, waist-long, dark hair and green eyes.

Her beautiful figure is dressed in a form-flattering dress of dark-green cloth, a long skirt and a short top, fully revealing her midriff and greatly enhancing her attractive appearance, with only a single necklace worn around the delicate neck to accentuate her look. The waist-long black hair is flowing down her back and the green eyes looking over the two patrons at the table curiously. Eventually, she turns her slender body around and heads towards it.[/SBLOCK]</p><p></p><p>[Dark Alley & Glamour's Villa][SBLOCK]While looking down, Melody notices, that she is still dressed up for the tavern stay. She quickly takes a step back and mumbles a few arcane words, while weaving her hands as if casting a spell. Upon her command, her clothes begin to change into tight-fitting black leathers, that are less revealing than her previous dress, but otherwise do rather little to hide her gorgeous figure.[/SBLOCK]</p><p></p><p>[Convocation][SBLOCK]Melody is dressed in translucent white silk with only an ivory-colored brassière underneath a tight-fitting, long-sleaved blouse, which leaves a small portion of her slim waist bare, about two to three inches wide, and then a daringly short skirt of matching ivory color with a loose-fitting, long skirt of the same translucent silk-cloth on top, that has a full-length slit along her right leg. Her feet are fitted in simple, but elegant black leather sandals, and wrapped loosely around her hips is a broad, white leather belt with a large silver buckle modeled into an angel with spread wings. As usual, she does not wear any make-up (she never does) and only very little jewelry, mostly a necklace with a pretty stone attached to it, preferring to play up her natural beauty instead of drowning it in accessories. Her waist-long, dark hair cascades freely over her shoulders in slight waves and her green eyes sparkle with expectation.[/SBLOCK][/SBLOCK]</p><p></p><p>Melody speaks Eldish, Rowaini, Melodian and Seelie.</p><p></p><p><strong>Spells:</strong> As 3rd-level Sorcerer.</p><p><em>Sorcerer Spells Known:</em> (6/7; save DC 15 + spell level (+2 illusion))</p><p>0th - <em>Acid Splash</em>, <em>Detect Magic</em>, <em>Daze</em>, <em>Ghost Sound</em>, <em>Prestidigitation</em>;</p><p>1st - <em>Color Spray</em>, <em>Silent Image</em>, <em>Lesser Orb of Acid</em>.</p><p></p><p><strong>Alternate Form (Ex):</strong> As a standard action, Melody can assume the shape of any small or medium humanoid. This ability functions like <em>alter self</em>, except as noted here. Her type changes to humanoid (shapechanger). As part of the transformation, her ability scores can change. Melody can raise any two physical and any two mental abilities by two, but also has to lower one physical and one mental ability by two. The altered abilities do not necessarily need to be different ones, changes can be applied to the same physical or mental ability scores as well. However, if she raises a single ability by four this way, then another ability of the appropriate type (physical or mental) has to be lowered by two. If Melody's Intelligence is raised this way, she can apply a +2 bonus to any untrained skill in which she does not have any ranks for every two points by which her Intelligence is raised, for as long as it remains on that level. Melody can remain in a humanoid form until she chooses to assume a new one. Not even a true seeing spell or ability can reveal her natural form.</p><p></p><p><strong>Dampen Aura (Ex):</strong> Melody can dampen the magical aura of any spell effect affecting herself or any magic item in her possession by a number of steps equal to the level of the ability; Dampen Aura 1 could make a <em>moderate</em> aura become <em>faint</em> or a <em>faint</em> aura vanish completely.

Like most human-born Dolathi, Melody perceives herself as a female; her name was chosen because of her beautiful voice and to represent her evershifting Dolathi nature. Melody spent a good portion of her childhood with her mother, being introduced into the secrets of sorcery, but occasionally her father would take her on one of his spelljamming journeys, which usually turned out to be quite exciting, floating through Wildspace, visiting new worlds and distant spheres, and meeting strange new beings. This was not done completely without ulterior motives, however, being a shapechanger and training her innate talent with different species turned out to be a useful exercise, and there were a few worlds, which her father had decided to be useful stops during her educational phases. The years passed and the young girl grew into a woman, with a striking semblance of her mother. It was time for her to leave Tymadeau and move to the great city of Eldiz on the Dolathi homeworld of Kanath, the center of the cosmopolitan civilization. This place was vastly different to her previous home, interesting, intriguing, ever-changing, just like herself. Melody immediately felt at home. Her father arranged for her to get some formal training in one of the highest Dolathi arts, the composition of shapechanging and magic, but with a considerable knack for these talents, Melody needed not much besides an introduction before starting to develop advanced skills on her own. Being self-sufficient and curious in nature, it took only a few years until she decided to go explore the Wildspace on her own.</p></blockquote><p></p>
