Melisana, daughter of the merchant Melkeras of Ventris, is a good-natured and insightful young woman, of sufficient natural wisdom not to have grown up spoiled by her overindulgent parents. She is determined to run her father's business when he retires from the day-to-day management, and has set herself the task of becoming a good sailor and merchant, a goal she is accomplishing. She is not violent of nature, though the need for survival will prompt her to help her allies if they are endangered.

What the module suggests

Reward for Melisana Melisana, if she makes it back to Ventris Island, is true to her word and wheedles a reward out of her father: 2,000 gp. Unless otherwise persuaded, Melisana returns to her original plan of taking over her father's business when he retires. A particularly persuasive or romantic character interested in her could convince her to remain with the other characters. In either case, though, when she achieves her 1st level, she becomes a priestess (cleric) of the goddess.

What happened in our campaign

She became a priestess of the sea goddess, and joined the party as a healer.

Stats

Meli has been recrafted a few times as the players advance in level.

Level4

I used the Mercenary Healer entry from dmtools: Mercenary Healer, Level 4

Level 5

And at Level 5 Mercenary Healer, Level 5

More recently, she has been rebuilt as a Favored Soul. This has the dual benefit of keeping the number of spells low, and the number of casts high.

To disguise her actual class, I am keeping her level slightly ahead of the average party level:
