Elden Ring Lore
Melina is the player's maiden and guide throughout Elden Ring, offering to act as your Finger Maiden despite not actually being one. She appears at the start of the game to forge a connection with the Tarnished through the Accord at the Site of Grace.
Her true nature is one of the game's biggest mysteries. She has a closed eye that opens to reveal a dark mark, she can travel between Sites of Grace, and her relationship to Queen Marika is left deliberately ambiguous.
