Personality
Mylantha acts like a young timid and almost weak girl at times. She is shy around people she does not know and often waits to see what the other one says. She observes and tends to appear patient.

This is what she would want you to believe about her. The truth is mostly the opposite. She knows she is attractive and flaunts herself in a half teasing demeanor as a result of it. She is very defensive around anyone that does not treat her the way she wants to be treated. She is short tempered and likes to make ill will with people she knows cannot do anything to her. He is extremely arrogant when it comes to her powers in battle. She is extremely loud and indulges in victory very much. She is a messy eater and enjoys the pleasure of life in a very hardy and overt way. She is a very curious person who will go to almost any length to figure out things she wants to know. Her confidence in her intelligence and magical ability is not arrogance as much as it is confidence since she is very well aware of her own genius intelligence.

Her family and her connections make her very aware of a dark path for her. She will commonly engage in horrible acts of rage and do whatever is necessary for her to get the desired results. She will kill, torture, threaten, even possibly hard the innocent if she believes these are the right courses of action to get what she needs to get what she wants.

Despite what is true about her, she still a good optimist. After seeing her family fall and watch the world fall into slavery and oppression. She is still the type to help those that need it. She shows compassion when she believes it will not make her look weak or to children. Most will only see her truly show effect to her familiar. Otherwise she almost hides her strong hatred of what she is and he urge to do good and conform to a less chaotic lifestyle. She teaches herself manners and tries to do good. With other 50 years of life and a genius intelligence that she would get it, but she is impatient and often fights her inner nature to do what she does.

Family & Relationships
Mylantha's mother is Melinda Celosia, the Seer of Darkness. Her mother was the Grand Magus of the Sixth Hell under Glasya. She was killed by the opposing side of an inside conflict in the forces of Asmodeus after she had betrayed her master for her new lover, Grazz't.

Mylantha's father is unknown. Mylantha's mother was clearly not home of Netheril, but she lived among the Netherese for much of her young life. There she felt the love of an adopted family for a short time before her mother killed them to take her daughter back after giving her away.

Mylantha has a soul divided now in three paths. Her tie to Grazz't and her mother make her potentially important to the fate of Grazz't's layer. More than most, Mylantha's mother was truly powerful among those who gave themselves to Grazz't and she fought her own deity for him. She has learned what she learned from the dark arts mostly from the Demons, while the Devils seek to kill her for her mother's name. She often disguises how the Demons treat her as love when she knows that they only help her as the last wishes of Grazz't to ensure the safety of his layer and revenge against Asmodeus. Only a few in Grazz't's layer appear as he does with a love of Chaos and freedom and not an uncontrollable nature. She has tried to make a home of one of the last remaining church's of good that she could. Nassim, the warrior of light wielded a blade made from the other half of Asmodeus's original being and thus contained the only power able to defeat the enemy that wishes to kill her, and wishes to learn to control herself as her lust for chaos and vengeance takes over her. Some devils out of resistance who do not openly oppose Asmodeus still seek to help her to gain a foothold with other forces to gain power to defeat Asmodeus from the inside.

Before Her Birth and the Pact of Evil ( -1438)
Before her birth, her mother, Melinda the Dark Seer was a long loving Shadar-Kai and the Grand Magus of the sixth layer of Hell. She had marked her with a terrible destiny with the Baator before she was even born. Melinda performed rituals to herself to bind her daughter's fate before she even knew what could happen. Mylantha's father was never really known. There are assumptions made based on later sources of her life, but nothing really known for sure. Melinda was far from the purest of women, so it was difficult to really guess. What was known about her tastes is that she enjoyed power and enjoyed someone to fight against her.

At the time of delivery, she decided that she would not keep Mylantha. She abandoned her child on a doorstep of a Shadovar family in the Shade Enclave. This was a family of higher than average status within the Shadovar society. It would seem to most there there was little planning in her actions, but Melinda knew everything about the family before making her decision. Marthick and Layla Rulimos were both scholars of the arcane arts and close to shades. Melinda aimed to drop Mylantha in as powerful of family as she could without worrying about her ability to sneak around and her ability to retrieve Mylantha was the time cam. Melinda had promised to be back at some point to take her child and have her face her destiny. Melinda doubted her ability to keep a newborn alive with her current lifestyle. She was at near constant rivalry and hatred with the other Grand Maguses and the nobility of her lair of Hell. More than the other Grand Maguses, the wear and tear of her position has left an noticeably angry and short temperament in Melinda. Melinda knew that Mylantha would simply be a target her entire youth if she kept her around. Leaving Mylantha on the doorstep was one of Melinda's one few acts of kindness in her entire life.

A Humble Life Among the Shadovar (1438-1450)
Melinda was not originally sure if Mylantha would be taken in at first, or moved to an orphanage, or just left on the streets. She had an educated guess based on what she knew about the family, but no more than that. She was pleased to learn that she was taken in and raised like one of their own children. The two scholars were older and had children approaching a 100 years old at this point. It was clear that they had not raised a child in many years and were clearly passed their prime.

All Melinda really left with Mylantha was her name. The two raised during her vulnerable years and had her help them managed their personal library. She spent the entire time reading and learning the material from the books her new parents. The way they were, it was more like living with grand parents. Mylantha was actually extremely timid in her youth and hardly ever went out. She was just interested in the Arcane arts. The two always referred to themselves as grandparents and told her that her mother passed away. Melinda never gave the impression of her return. Mylantha grew up with the impression that she really had no other family.

The truth is that she had relatively little social life as a small child. She grew up in a comfortable setting around arcanists.

She couldn't help but be frozen at the strange macabre things she witnessed right before fighting Bloodwing and what it might mean.

Elminster gave her the secret of the path of the world and while she didn't feel she could change the pathways, she wanted to steer the world to prepare itself for the upcoming calamities... all of them.
