Meralda Usiu came into the world in a small village nestled in the midst of the lush forests, blossoming meadows, and serene lakes of the enchanted realm. Her parents were renowned sages, wizards, and healers, held in high esteem and revered by the local folk for their abilities to tap into the celestial energies, divine the future, and ameliorate the sufferings of body and soul.

As a child, Meralda was brought up amidst a library of mystical tomes, relics, and artifacts, and trained to open her mind's eye to the cryptic omens and portents the universe presents. She cherishes memories of her childhood friend, a wild and free-spirited forest nymph who later vanished without a trace, leaving Meralda with a hollow ache in her heart.

Through dedicating herself to deciphering the elusive visions delivered by dreams, the flight of the birds, the rustling of the leaves, and the murmurs of the unseen forces, Meralda has become a wise and gifted soothsayer. She wanders through the kingdoms, offering counsel, guidance, divinations, and evocations to the rulers, armies, merchants, peasants, and anyone who seeks her counsel.

Meralda is drawn to the call of her inherent curiosity and a deep-seated desire to discern and decode the universe's hidden secrets. Above all else, she is enamored with the prospect of spreading visions of hope and inspiration to those she encounters. Her beloved daughter is her raison d'être, and she dedicates all her focus and energy to protect her from the malevolent beings that lurk in the darkness of the unknown.

On an adventure some years back, Meralda found herself entrapped in a network of deceitful sorcerers who sought to manipulate and enslave her for their nefarious purposes. The experience has cast shadows over her psyche and compelled her to be more vigilant and cautious as she journeys through the realm's hidden corners and wormholes.

Meralda has limited mobility due to an old injury she sustained while fleeing from a pack of dark-hounds. She finds solace in taking notes, sketching maps, and cataloging the elusive flora and fauna that blankets the provinces.

Meralda's symbol is deceptively simple – an ivy leaf, which to her is symbolic of both resilience in times of hardship and immortality brought about by the endless rebirth and cycles of life.

As Meralda traverses the kingdoms, she endeavors to direct her energies towards enhancing wellbeing, raising consciousness, and guiding the people to lead a fulfilling and convivial existence. Her life is the journey – her world is the adventure – her gifts are the legacy that she will pass on to the universe when her time comes to cross over to the realm beyond.
