Character from Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson
A modern Kandra who wears attractive forms and sharp humor — Wayne's unlikely love interest who provides centuries of perspective with zero tolerance for pretension.
MeLaan is a Kandra — a shapeshifter who can digest bones and replicate any human form with perfect fidelity. In Era 2 she tends to adopt attractive female forms and carries herself with irreverent confidence. She is one of the younger Kandra, more comfortable with modern human society than many of her elders, and serves as an agent of Harmony while maintaining her own sharp personality. She provides crucial Kandra intelligence on Set activities and political machinations in Elendel. Her relationship with Wayne is an unlikely pairing of two people who both hide their true selves behind performance. Flirtatious, irreverent, blunt. Comfortable in her own shapeshifting skin in a way many Kandra are not. Enjoys shocking humans with casual references to her nature. Genuinely modern in outlook. Beneath the flirtation, fiercely dedicated to her people and to Harmony's cause.
Takes various forms but favors tall, attractive female bodies. In her preferred form, dark-haired and striking. Moves with fluid, almost too-perfect grace that hints at her non-human nature to those who know what to look for.
Also known as: MeLaan, Melaan
