Melaina

Item #:  SCP-280-1

Object Class: Euclid

SCP-280-1 prefers to be called Melaina (means "dark" or "black"). She is the "daughter" of SCP-280 (see Monster Type).

Melaina was created by JackandDannysGirl on deviantart.

Personality
Melaina is a quiet little girl and is often seen as mysterious to her classmates. She has a hard time fitting in at Monster Elementary but continues to attend her class to prove to the SCP Foundation that she is capable of handling it. Melaina wants to make friends but finds it difficult to start conversations and make connections. Her classmates also find her sophisticated way of speaking a bit intimidating or odd and tend to avoid her or pick on her. She figured that simply not speaking to others would fix this problem.

Melaina strives to prove herself and doesn’t give up easily. She comes across as apathetic to others because of her lack of socializing.

Melaina hasn’t severely injured or killed anyone…yet, though she has been known to lash out during some tests. As of now she is in the Euclid class (the second of the three SCP classes) since she is still unpredictable but hasn’t proven to be a dangerous threat.

Physical Appearance
Melaina is basically a small, black, shadowy mist. She has black hair that is tied back in a long braid. She has two large white eyes on the front of her head though they don’t work as normal eyes do. Melaina can’t see out of her “eyes” but can sense her surroundings. She has a pair of ears, a nose, but no mouth, though she can still talk. She has long, sharp fingers that resemble claws.

Monster Type
Melaina is based off of SCP-280, an object found on the SCP Foundation, a website that hosts descriptions of fictional paranormal entities or simply very odd objects. SCP-280 is a shadow-like creature with a desire to attack its prey. SCP-280 appears to have white “eyespots” when retreating just as Melaina has. Melaina is also weakened by bright light just as SCP-280 is. It is unknown whether Melaina is biologically related to SCP-280 or simply of the same species. The scientists at the SCP Foundation are hesitant to ask SCP-280 to clear this up as SCP-280 is in the Keter object class (the most dangerous class an SCP can be put in to).
