Melody Hanson

Melody Hanson is a young mage, specifically, a bard.

Lore
Melody was the daughter of two mages, who worked as a troupe of circus performers, her mother using her magic to create amazing pyrotechnics, and her father using his magic to charm the animals. When Melody was born, her parents knew she was special, and her magic would express itself in its own way, separate to either. When her magic specialty was Realized, her parents were so proud. She travelled with the troupe until she decided to strike out on her own. Her parents and the rest of her “family” in the troupe gave her a pin depicting their symbol, and told her that, as long as she wore that pin, she would find them no matter where they were. They also told her she was always welcome if and when she wanted to visit.

Appearance
Before her Realization, Melody had brown hair, usually cut short, brown eyes, and light skin. When her magic was Realized, however, her hair became a bright magenta color, and her eyes turned an electric purple color. Her wardrobe and aesthetic is essentially rock star chic, with mainly pink and purple clothes, mixed with a healthy amount of black, and certain parts of her clothes are artistically ripped, or at least look like they do.

Personality
If Melody was to be placed on the D&D alignment chart, she would most likely be Chaotic Good. She definitely has a kind heart, as well as a free spirit, and prefers to let her conscience be her guide. Her personality can be described as "stereotypical rocker chick", but she is also very friendly and kind. She's the type of person who, if someone was giving her friends a hard time, she would teach the bully a lesson.

Powers

 * Magic: Due to her mage nature, Melody has the ability to use magic and cast spells. Her magical specialty (as evidenced by her name) is music magic.
 * Familiar contract creation: Due to her mage nature, Melody is able to create a contract with an animal and turn it into her familiar, which acts as her pet, friend, guide, and even conscience, if need be.

Possessions

 * Grimoire: The record of her spells. Melody's grimoire takes the shape of a large book, with a magenta cover, golden trim in the shape of musical scales, and a golden treble clef on the front, with two golden gems in the middle and bottom part.
 * Magical focus: Melody's magical focus takes the form of a six-string guitar, with a pink body, and a headstock in the shape of a star.

Familiar
Melody's familiar is a canary she named Sonata. Like many other canaries, Sonata is yellow in color, but, when Melody formed a familiar contract with her, she gained a bright magenta patch in the shape of a pair of eighth notes on her chest, and her beak turned a bright fuchsia as well.
