On her back, she carries her weapon of choice, Tauro, a long spear with a jagged, blue head with yellow trims.

Background
Mel Lane studied in Black Maw with Pum Kin for the past year, learning to become a beast master. She was labeled a prodigy by Pum Kin, and sent with The Science Team to Largoon Vale set up shop.

While shopping in Black Maw with Matt, Geran, and Jasper, she went with them to a shop owned by Thursday. Inside, Jasper asked him if he recognized any of her previous party members, and Mel had recognized the paladin, who came into Pum Kin's Pets and Beasts to buy roughly three griffon eggs.

After the Siege of Largoon Vale, it was revealed she was part of the Ifa Clan, similar to Rosalie. She was then kidnapped by the blue dragon belonging to the Ifa Clan, leaving Aurora, her arclight phoenix, behind.

Aurora
Aurora is Mel's pet bird soul bound companion. She is an arclight phoenix.

Abilities
Mel is a special kind of soul binder, one who has made a bond with a being special to them. Her soul bond companion is Aurora, who is a large arclight phoenix with elemental powers. She was also a part of the Ifa Clan, and O'Ked was protecting her because of her rare ability to use purple lightning, the most chaotic kind. She was going to be eaten by a blue dragon of the Ifa Clan in order for him to gain power.
