Meletho Balvedin

Meletho Balvedin was a clerk at the Vermilion Opera who was friendly with Arveneän Shelsin.

Appearance
When Thara Celehar first met her, he described her as blandly pretty, and she wore a dark, plain dress. She was slightly taller than her coworker, Toreän Nochenin, and wore “a pair of cloisonné bead earrings.”

At Arveneän's funeral, she wore a shabby, much-dyed black dress.

Personality
She seemed polite when talking with Thara, and was very interested in helping him. She was deeply saddened by Arveneän's death.

Life
Thara thought from her accent that she came from Zhaö.

Meletho worked as a clerk at the Vermilion Opera, and was one of Arveneän's few friends. She was greatly honored that Arveneän spoke to her, as Arveneän was a principal singer and Meletho was a mere clerk, and seemingly worshiped the woman.

Thara went to question her and Toreän after Arveneän's death, and both clerks were shocked at the news of Arveneän's death. Both clerks noted that Arveneän's patrons gave her expensive gifts, which she then had to pawn to pay off her debts. After the questioning, Meletho asked about Arveneän's funeral, as she wished to attend. She was ultimately one of the few mourners present that day.
