Melaan often takes the form of a very tall (several inches taller than the notably tall Waxillium) and very busty woman named [[Milan]]. This True Body is made of a green crystal. However, she also has several others, including one that is ostensibly designed for combat. The skeleton underneath is revealed to be made entirely of aluminum, with many useful implements hidden inside including a reinforced compartment for storage of the part of her that stores her consciousness, needles for stitching wounds, and a set of picks for opening locks. This metal body is very durable (A Feruchemist Brute punched her in the face and the hand essentially exploded).

== History ==
=== Pre
▲MeLaan was the only kandra raised by [[TenSoon]] and is considered his adopted daughter/little sister.{{book ref|mb2|20}}{{annotation ref|aol|chapter=3|link=annotation-the-alloy-of-law-chapter-three}} She has a hero-worship crush on him, inspired by his gruffness and his adventurousness, which makes TenSoon somewhat uncomfortable.{{annotation ref|mb3|chapter=9|link=annotation-mistborn-3-chapter-nine}}
MeLaan attends TenSoon's judgement trial. After he is publicly imprisoned, she approaches him and offers to help him escape. She also offers to retrieve the [[Blessing of Potency]] he took from [[OreSeur]]. She believes his claim that [[Vin]] is the [[Lord Ruler|Lord Ruler's]] heir, and that the kandra's [[First Contract]] has been transferred to her. She takes the changes in the outside world –- the [[mist]]s that remain during the day and constant ashfall -– as signs and proof.
After [[KanPaar]] revolts against the first generation and imprisons [[Sazed]], [[TenSoon]] returns to the [[Kandra Homeland]]. He finds [[Sazed]] has been taken prisoner with the help of MeLaan. MeLaan then fetches the keys to release the first generation, as well as bones for them to inhabit.{{book ref|mb3|78}}

She is the kandra who gives [[Waxillium Ladrian]] his earring.{{wob ref|10004}}
MeLaan once again meets Wax at [[Lady ZoBell's party]]. She introduces herself as Milan, a slight mispronunciation of her real name. After seeming to flirt with Wax, she walks away.
After the party, she saves Wax from the [[Set]] agents who had ambushed him. She reveals that she is a kandra sent by [[Harmony]] to help him.{{book ref|mb5|11}}
Later, she meets Wax, [[Wayne]], and [[Marasi]] at a tavern. She goes on to help them on their quest to defeat [[Bleeder]]. MeLaan impersonates one of Governor [[Replar Innate]]'s guards and saves Wax from bleeder after the rouge kandra reveals herself. {{book ref|mb5|22}}▼
With bleeder unmasked and on the run MeLaan attempts to impersonate Governor Innate in her stead with the intent of placating the angry crowed. While the crowed believes the ruse MeLaan's natural inclinations to mimicry move her away from the speech that Marasi planed and she ends of inflaming instead of calming everyone. Before a riot can break out [[Aradel]] intervenes. He arrests MeLaan and gains the support of the gathered citizenry by promising them justice.{{book ref|mb5|26}}
MeLaan did not know about the true identity of Bleeder and was told only afterward. However she firmly believed that Harmony had done the right thing in not informing Wax of the true identity of his antagonist. After the defeat of Bleeder she continues to impersonate Governor Innate "hanging" herself in her cell so that she does not have to falsely testify in a court of law.{{book ref|mb5|Epilogue}}

MeLaan agrees to accompany Wax, Marasi, Wayne and [[Steris]] on their mission to [[New Seran]] in the hope of curing [[ReLuur]]'s insanity by restoring his spike.{{book ref|mb6|3}} Reluur was injured looking into myths about [[The Bands of Mourning]]. MeLaan is later found topless with Wayne on the trip.{{book ref|mb6|9}}
▲Later, she meets Wax, [[Wayne]], and [[Marasi]] at a tavern. She goes on to help them on their quest to defeat [[Bleeder]].
When they arrive in the city MeLaan shocks several of them by turning into a man indicating that she is comfortable as either sex.{{book ref|mb6|10}} MeLaan aids Wax and Steris at [[Kelesina Shores]]'s ball helping Wax escape from the scene after he is framed for Kelesina's murder.{{book ref|mb6|16}} After escaping she travels with the party to the crashed [[Brunstell]] where she and Marasi find ReLuur's spike and liberate [[Allik Neverfar]]. Together the three of them reconvene with Wax and Wayne and escape on one of the Blrunstell's miniships called [[Wilg]] although Marasi is injured in the escape. MeLaan is able to graft a piece of Marasi's own flesh onto her wound to heal her.{{book ref|mb6|21}} After retrieving Steris they go to the second site to retrieve the Bands of Mourning. MeLaan's invulnerability proves critical in reaching the temple where they are supposedly stored as she is able to survive the damage of the many traps the [[sovereign]] left behind.{{book ref|mb6|23}} However she is immobilized by [[Sequence]] on reaching the temple and looses her spikes reverting to a mistwraith.{{book ref|mb6|26}} After the battle for the Bands MeLaan's spike is returned by Wayne and her self is restored.{{book ref|mb6|29}} The Bands are left in her keeping to keep them from being used for political purposes or conquest.{{book ref|mb6|31}}
