Melysa Marwyn

Lady Melysa Ashvale is the widow of Ethan Ashvale, lord of Ashfort in Lordaeron. Born and raised in the Kingdom of Stromgarde, Lady Melysa is the eldest daughter of Lord Joren and Lady Lizabet Marwyn.

Appearance
Taller than most women and just as strong as some men, Melysa seems quite fit for a life of combat as opposed to the life of luxury befitting a woman of high birth. Any trace of her womanly figure is usually hidden beneath layers of armor. Save for an ample bosom, her body is more muscle than curves and the long muscles in her arms seem better suited to swinging a greatsword at an enemy than practicing her needlepoint.

Never what one would consider a stunning depiction of Arathorian beauty, her sapphire eyes are perhaps her most memorable feature, though they reveal much sadness of late. Her hair is a wild, tangled mess of reddish curls, often unwashed and looking as though she'd cut it with her own belt knife when it grew too long for her liking.

Her ears are unpierced and she wears no jewelery of any kind, save for a silver chain around her neck. Hanging from it is her wedding band and a small pendant that bears the sigil of her house. Her armor is handsomely crafted and befitting a person of Noble blood, though upon closer inspection, the armor appears quite well-used.

On her sword belt, Melysa carries a fine, castle-forged longsword and on the opposite hip rests a libram that once belonged to her late husband. The leather on its cover is well-worn, but the sigil of the Order of the Silver Hand is still evident.

Marriage and Children
Her marriage at the age of sixteen to the lord of Ashfort joined the house of Marwyn to the house of Ashvale and while the couple hardly knew one another, theirs was not an unhappy union. The ceremony took place in Lordaeron and just nine months later, their son was born.
