Melody

Biography
Melody is the former Eighth Princess of Heart and a Keyblade Master. She is from a world full of light called the Serene Kingdom but lived in the castle. The people of the kingdom believed in the light and did not know that Darkness existed. She did not actually get her name until she was fourteen.

At the Serene Gala, she met Raptors, a young boy who recently became a student of Master Eraqus, and fell in love with him. She did not realize that her mother had already betrothed her to him. Pearl, Ana, and Stacie, three good fairies, gave her three gifts: the gift of beauty, and the gift of the arts. During the party, just as Stacie was about to grant her gift, an angel, who she did not know about for her whole life, came into the ballroom. Angry that he was not invited to his own daughter's birthday, he cursed her with a powerful death curse. If her fingers would pluck the strings of a harp in her sixteenth year, she would die, and then he disappeared.

It was obvious that the three fairies could not break the curse, but Stacie could alter it. Instead of her dying, she would merely be asleep until True Love's Kiss broke it. But the spell still had a catch: if she were to fall asleep, all citizens of the Serene Kingdom would internally fall asleep as well, and they would not age. Afraid that it would still happen, Dark ordered that all the harps in the kingdom be burned, except for the Goddess Harp, an important family heirloom. Concerned for Melody's safety, Pearl decided to send her to the Land of Departure, where she would be safe for the next two years. They thought as long as she was away from the Goddess Harp till her sixteenth year was over, the spell would not work.

Pearl, Ana, and Stacie also altered a small part of her memory containing Raptors, so she would not remember who he was, but they did not realize that Melody's memory would instantly repair itself with time. When she got there, she met Ventus, a kind boy, Aqua, a responsible young woman, and Terra, a young man who is very protective of the two.
