The Immaculate Texts describe Mela as the eldest of the Immaculate Dragons, Exalting remarkably late in her mortal life. Prior to Exaltation, she was described as a teacher, scholar and tutor to the children of the Solar Exalted. Indeed, it was through her observations of the Anathema’s mistreatment of their own children that Mela realized the Solars were completely corrupted. When she Exalted, she used her Dragon-blessed abilities to spy on the parents of her charges prior to the Great Uprising and later to steal away or sabotage many powerful artifacts from the Solars before they could be used against her fellow Dragon-Blooded.
