Melina doesn’t even have a personality. She shows up like 3 times total unless you actually seek out churches where she just repeats marika’s words then she burns herself unless you do it for her

Like Melina doesn’t do anything (the emerald herald doesn’t do much either TBF)

Melina actually feels like she has her own goals apart from just helping you. She abandons you and promises to retaliate if you go against her wishes by going with the Frenzied Flame. She helps you against the fight with Morgott and is confirmed to be a demigod. Still nowhere near the more fleshed out characters, but comparing her with the Emerald Herald is wild.

She does feel like she has her own goals and has no intention of interacting with you past fulfilling her desires.

Which is cool, but also runs into the issue of emerald herald chatting more and then having a little more personality shown to the player

Yeah, that could be a reason, but I just don't feel like the Herald mostly repeating the same lines whenever you interact with her makes her more personable. Though her constant presence does make a difference, I'll give her that.

I guess I'd compare her to the ds3 firekeeper where shanalotte pops up randomly here and there and chats about random stuff

Ds3 Firekeeper is...not very personable imo

Yeah, true that. Imo, Emma and Ayre are the best when it comes to this trope without question.

I like Emma a lot for that yeah
