Appearance
Melinda was a member of the Evil Eye Tribe and had long, wavy gray hair. She wore a robe of the same color as her hair that covered her entire body. She's described to keep her eyes tightly shut, but when she opened them, they were completely dyed in pitch-black darkness, including the sclera.

Personality
Melinda had a self-hatred for her Evil Eye ability and called her own blood "cursed". She often spoke with a stutter and was quite mellow. However, she was very quick to become angry when people went against her ideals and placed innocent and unborn babies in danger. She was also willing to go out of her way and put her life at stake just to protect someone's unborn child.

History
Melinda survived the Empire's attack on the Evil Eye Tribe which wiped out almost all of her brethren some time before she met Stride, and she married him some time later.

Abilities
Evil Eye (魔眼 Magan): As a member of the Evil Eye Tribe, Melinda's Evil Eye gave her the unique ability to see invisible things and interfere with the minds of others with her eyes. She used this ability on Wilhelm so that he would see illusions of Pivot and on Theresia so that she would see the illusions of her sins. She also used this ability to control the citizens of Picoutatte and identify people with Divine Protections.
