|Thy snoring is rather loud. It doth be like unto a hundred angry koloss in the middle of a rockslide. Lo, and it doth come near to waking the dead.
MeLaan often takes the form of a very tall (several inches taller than the notably tall Waxillium) and very busty woman named Milan. This True Body is made of a green crystal. However, she also has several others, including one that is ostensibly designed for combat. The skeleton underneath is revealed to be made entirely of aluminum, with many useful implements hidden inside including a reinforced compartment for storage of the part of her that stores her consciousness, needles for stitching wounds, and a set of picks for opening locks. This metal body is very durable (A Feruchemist Brute punched her in the face and her hand essentially exploded).

Notably, her personality is much more free spirited than most kandra, and she gets along very well with Wayne, engaging in belching contests on occasion. She is also more lax about following the First Contract than other kandra, and is willing to kill humans if she has to.
 
== Attributes and Abilities ==
As a Kandra, she possesses the ability to shapeshift into various different forms around her True Body. She is also an immortal being, able to live for centuries, and survive wounds that would be fatal to most biological entities, she is also capable of turning off her pain receptors.{{book ref|mb6|24}} She is capable of reforming her body to unlock simple locks.{{book ref|bom|29}} And like all Kandra she can make her flesh go transparent in order to reveal her True Body.

She can make her flesh go transparent in order to reveal her True Body.
 
She has various True Bodies made out of various materials, such as emerald and [[aluminum]]. She sometimes uses ones with hidden weapons, such as swords in her arms.{{book ref|mb6|16}} She can also store guns in her body, which she can pull out at will. Unlike most kandra, she doesn't necessarily follow the First Contract, and thus has little qualms about killing.

=== PreThe CatacendreFinal Empire ===
Before becoming a Kandra, she existed as a mistwraith for an unknown amount of time. But in the seventh century of the Lord Ruler's reign, she was granted form and sapience by Hemalurgic spikes, becoming a kandra of the Seventh Generation.{{book ref|mb3|62}} TenSoon was appointed as her "parent", and tasked with raising her as she developed.{{wob ref|7510}}
 
== Relationships ==
=== TenSoon ===
TenSoon essentially raised MeLaan,{{book ref|mb2|20}}{{wob ref|7510}} and she is roughly considered to be his daughter or little sister.{{wob ref|670}} As a result of his gruffness and adventurousness, sometime before the Catacendre, she began to hero-worship him in a way that bordered on romantic attraction and made TenSoon very uncomfortable.{{wob ref|7510}} They still appear to be close after the Catacendre, with MeLaan noting he would be proud ofthat she can still adopt difficult accents and asking Wax not to tell TenSoon that she had to kill people again, as kandra killing people upsets him.{{book ref|mb5|19}}{{book ref|mb5|11}}
 
=== VenDell ===
The relationship wasn't as meaningful to her as it was to him, due to differences in how they experienced the passing of time, but she still treasured her time with him,{{book ref|mb7|12}} and greatly mourned his death.{{book ref|mb7|epilogue|6}} She thought of it as a mere fling at first, but it was far more to her, as he made her forget what she was and made her forget what was the smart thing to do.{{book ref|mb7|epilogue|6}} Six years into their relationship, MeLaan breaks up with Wayne because she has a mission from Harmony, and if she stayed it wouldn’t be because she wanted to but because she didn’t want to hurt him.{{book ref|mb7|13}}
 
Their relationship is sexual in nature, she claims that he gave her the best sex she's known.{{book ref|mb6|9}}{{book ref|mb7|12}} They are known to have engaged in bondage.{{book ref|mb7|37}} This has been confirmed as the honest truth, but that she lived a sheltered life so didn't have much to compare it to.{{wob ref|16018}}
