Background
Born and raised on a modest farm in the rural village of Inishlinn, Murandy, Melosa Beshar grew up amidst the rolling hills and fertile fields of her homeland. The eldest daughter of Declan and Eilis Beshar, Melosa's childhood was defined by relentless, unending hard work and a close connection to the land.
From a young age, Melosa helped her parents tend to the farm, learning the value of perseverance and resourcefulness in the face of adversity. Despite the simplicity of her upbringing, she harbored a restless spirit and an insatiable curiosity about the world beyond the borders of her village.
At the age of sixteen, fueled by a desire for adventure and wanderlust, Melosa made the decision to leave her family and set out on her own to explore the world. Over the next year, she traveled widely - from Tear in the deep south to Fal Moran, the capital of Shienar. During this time, she made her way by seeking and trading items of rare value.
It was during her visit to Fal Moran that Melosa's life took an unexpected turn. It was there when she was found to have the ability to learn to channel the One Power. Journeying to Tar Valon, Melosa was enrolled in the Book of Novices in the year NE1558.
Being of average strength in the One Power, Melosa took 5 years to be raised to Accepted in the year NE1563 and has since been apprenticed to the Green Ajah.
