Melina

Melina is a deuteragonist character in Elden Ring. She is a mysterious, spectral woman who offers an alliance with the Tarnished to help them on their journey to become Elden Lord. She may only be encountered when resting at specific Sites of Grace,
Melina has long observed the Lands Between. She was born at the foot of the Erdtree. She is a secret child of Queen Marika. Unlike Messmer or Morgott, Melina does not recall Marika with fondness.
At some point long ago, Melina bore a vision of fire. She was burned, leaving her bodiless; a drifting spirit bound to Grace. Like her brother Messmer, she was assigned a purpose by Marika. However, she was unable to remember it. And so, Melina traveled with the spectral steed Torrent in search of the Tarnished who would lead her back to the foot of the Erdtree. There, she may ascertain her given purpose. Torrent identifies and selects a maidenless Tarnished, who recently washed up in the Stranded Graveyard, as one capable of brandishing the Elden Ring. Melina descends the spectral steed to grant the fallen champion a set of Sacred Flasks, choosing to aid them in violation of the Golden Order.
Sometime later, Melina approaches the Tarnished to offer them an accord: She could play the role of the missing Finger Maiden in return for a ride to the foot of the Erdtree. If the player desires the strength of runes, and, if they accept the accord, Melina entrusts them with the Spectral Steed Whistle and, therefore, Torrent. Melina advises them to follow the guidance of Grace and seek the shardbearer at Stormveil Castle.
If the player ignores her warnings at the Sites of Grace Frenzied Flame Proscription, or just inherits the Frenzied Flame without speaking with her, she will say that The Tarnished is no longer fit, ending her accord, and forever leaving their side but threatening to kill them should they become the Lord of Frenzied Flame.
If Melina did not fulfil her purpose as Kindling Maiden.
