BACKGROUND
Bio/History: Born in the middle of the last great Fearstalker war. Melanie was being born in the Rookery just as her father Grand Wraith Draxer Ripinger was delivering the final blow to the corrupt King of the Fearstalkers, King Terrid Blastamus. After the end of the first Mystic's war the diminutive Fearstalker had become mad, he only saw the threat his wife Hestian's brother Draxer could be. As Draxer was fighting with the Mystics King Terrid was working to slowly destroy the House of Ripinger. But as subtle as Terrid was Hestian was smarter, she saw the sneaky underhanded things her husband would do before he did them.
Despite her best efforts though, a civil war was Draxer's welcome home party. Fresh from the fight Draxer and his remaining forces showed great promise at the start of their involvement. But the king had a larger, fresher force, and Draxer's soldiers were quickly being cut down and things looked grim for the Grand Wraith. But Draxer had always been a hero amongst the Fearstalkers and an idol to follow, it was actually his future wife, Shadow Bellatonic Arsantic that saved him.
She was a close ally of the Queen and together they gathered Stalkers from outlying settlements and armed them. Draxer was brought before the peasant masses and put on a pedestal as their Savior, a gift from Azzarox himself. This is where the war really started, and for three-hundred years the war was fought throughout the Stalker Kingdom, it was a long and bloody conflict. And by the end a third of the Fearstalker population was wiped out and the Dark Dimension over the Night Sky River was nearly destroyed. As the blue night arose at the end of the 300th year though Draxer stood victorious and King Terrid's reign was over. Hestian had been killed in the conflict otherwise she would've taken the throne, to the victor goes the spoils. Draxer was Crowned King of the Fearstalkers and the rebuilding of the Dark Kingdom was underway.
It took a full two-hundred years after the slaying of Terrid for the Stalkers to return to a semblance of their former power. But the long war had burned their much of it and harmed some of their influence in the other worlds. Now five hundred years old Melanie has been tasked with establishing these ties. This is her duty and she is proud to undertake it, all her training has been towards this point. And as the Royal Princess it was her responsibility to do it. Now in the human world she is quickly building up her allies and catching some new prospects for her people to dip their claws into.
