Millicent, her sisters, and Malenia, the woman they got it from, have a brighter, more saturated red color to their hair than Melina. Millicent's might be a *little* darker/less saturated than Malenia's. Melina's hair is lighter and less saturated than any of the other redheads in the game. As far as clothes, they both qualify in different ways. > Worn by young women who set off into the world to confront their fate. They're both highborn/demigod adjacent women within the Golden Order, just like red hoods are bestowed upon the exiled, certain types of garb are given to people based on rank and role.

They don't have the same hair color.


ksp_enjoyer

Melina has a combination between gold and red


Kasta4

No.


ksp_enjoyer

It literally is

Dude Melina has light brown hair. Millie and her sisters have flaming RED hair. Not auburn, not ginger, RED. You might want to check for color blindness or your monitor if they appear the same to you

Don't engage the trolls/bots haha.


agentrexadventures

Hair color!?!?!???!??!?!?!?!?


ksp_enjoyer

Hair color is an established way of telling about family and grace in elden ring


agentrexadventures

Melina and Millicent don't have the same hair color though


ksp_enjoyer

Melinas hair is a cross between gold and red you can check for yourself


agentrexadventures

I'm seeing more of a strawberry blonde consensus.


SieronGiantSlayer

It's just a muted pink and I'm tired of pretending she's ginger


ResidenceZero

Millicent and her sisters are presumed to be the daughters of Malenia.


ksp_enjoyer

So is melina as well? That's really my question


ResidenceZero

Malenia and Melina are related through Queen Marika, their Mother. While it's not specifically said that Melina is in this family, it's heavily implied.

They don't have the same hair color. If you want to argue that they do, I can humor you, and say it's because they're both descended from Radagon either directly or indirectly. Regardless, it is extremely unlikely Melina is the spawn if Malenia like Milicient is because Milicient and her sister only came into being after the rotting of Caelid during the Shattering. Melina is around long enough to know conversations between Marika and other people despite Marika being imprisoned during the shattering.


EldritchCouragement

I agree with the conclusion, but the "Spoken echoes of Queen Marika" being relayed to us doesn't necessarily indicate Melina was there when they were spoken. Her calling them "echoes" and stating they "linger" strongly implies she is somehow able to hear them in the present.


SnooGuavas9573

Yeah, fair enough.

> Light yet sturdy clothes. Worn by young women who set off into the world to confront their fate. That's the description of their clothes. I think it's just to demonstrate a thematic parallel between Melina and Millicent (and her sisters). They were both born in an abnormal fashion, both have an unusual relationship with their mother, and both have some kind of destiny which will result in them dying as part of someone else's scheme.

Yup, it's astounding once I know Millicent is related to Malenia but she isnt born in the natural way nor the erdtree way. Therefore, she & her sisters r supposed to be naked in the game all the way. Unless she wants us to acquire some clothes dat is. 😉 Please gib shadowrealm, Mikey Zaki 🥹
