Melusine Von Tonn

''"Making waves, Mel out!" ~ Von Tonn's catch phrase''

Melusine Von Tonn is a रियाज Pillar based out of Camp Dunwich, Connecticut. Often mistaken for a Wyrmborne (something about the scales), Melusine is a mer-Underfolk.

Pre-Watershed
Born in Derry, Ireland, in 1984, Melusine's parents moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania several years after they were born to work in a research lab owned by an autonomous vehicle facility.

After instilling in Melusine a love of scientific studies and anything to do with water (indeed, many vacations were to locales next to oceans or seas), their parents were not surprised when they attended university to study hydrology. They eventually worked for a research lab themselves, studying the silt overlay in the area's three rivers.

Relationships
Much to the consternation of their fans, Melusine has shown no propensity toward relationships of any romantic or sexual manner. When asked in any sort of official setting, Melusine will respond with a wink and a secretive smile, answering any questions regarding their love life with a "well now, that's a secret, isn't it?"

In more private settings, and outside the camera's eye (as described by on-site witnesses), Melusine gets nervous and tense at any expression of affection or attraction. They can be seen mumbling about something, or laughing the declaration away.

Trivia

 * Melusine prefers to be called "Melly" or "Mel", as only their 'mum' calls them "Melusine".
