"Mélusine isn't my real name. But it's very precious to me."
A member of Faerie Britain's Knights of the Round Table. She is a Fairy Knight assuming the name of the Heroic Spirit Lancelot, who belongs to the Proper Human History's Knights of the Round Table. The sole "dragon" species fairy in Britain. She acts in the manner of a merciless knight, but because of that conduct, her elegance and her appearance that distinguishes her from other fairies, she is said to be the proudest and most beautiful of them all.
Origin:
Her faerie name is Mélusine. In French legends, she is also known as Mélisande.
Since ancient times, Mélusine has been a heroine in stories featuring mixed-species birth. She has been depicted as a beautiful half-fae woman with dragon's wings and the lower body of a serpent. The beautiful daughter of a human father and a faerie mother, she was cursed to take the form of a serpent from the waist down every Saturday as punishment for locking her father in a mountain cave.
It is said that the curse strengthened when her lover saw her serpentine body, and Mélusine transformed fully into a frightful snake.
Personality:
Introverted and active.
The type to swiftly carry her out her tasks while keeping her thoughts to herself. A fastidious and businesslike girl knight who gives off a tense air.
She classifies humans as evil creatures and mercilessly drives them away, which leads people to think of her as a ruthless faerie. But while she finds humans alien, she neither hates nor looks down on them.
She simply perceives them as "lifeforms with low individual survival ability."
Mélusine herself has a complex history, so she does not discriminate against others based on the ecology of their birth.
When acting as a knight, Mélusine carries herself with a princely air and speaks in a boyish manner. When she is being less reserved, she reverts to more feminine habits and her scatterbrained personality comes out. Since she was left all alone in the world, she is self-deprecating and gets lonely easily.
She is aware that she is an apex lifeform, so she does not view strength and weakness as good or bad. After all, everyone else is weak in comparison. Mélusine likes the "kindness to care for the weak," not the "courage to challenge the strong." In fact, she dotes on those she likes by saying, "Obey the strong, absolutely. By which I mean, obey me."
