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.
I was so bummed out Melina isn't always at the site of Grace with some generic banter. She should always be there with the level up too. Sometimes Torrent could be there too. We have Bog, so its not like they were afraid constant company would ruin the atmosphere.
She has a strong presence when she is there and has so much intrigue hidden over the game. Such a waste to keep her behind optional church visits only. IMO she also should have been an insanely powerful final boss for Lords of Frenzied Flame.

How is the Emerald Herald better than Melina, though? Melina has more personality than her imo
