MeLaan's wooden true body

MeLaan's wooden true body first appears in The Hero of Ages as an elegant, willowy skeleton of carved wood, its delicate inhuman proportions granting her the graceful, unnaturally slim silhouette that defines her kandra identity. Throughout the series, this wooden construct serves as both disguise and statement, allowing her to blend with human society while subtly reminding others of her inhuman nature. Its spindly, almost ethereal design becomes a visual motif for her fluid adaptability and the tension between her constructed form and the living world she navigates.
