Mystical Melody, known to many as the new "Frost Seer", hails from an island far SouthWest of the South Luna Ocean known as Maradice Isle ( A play on "Mare" and "Paradice" ). As her title might imply, she is unmatched in the art of controlling ice, snow, and cold itself as a powerful weapon to destroy her enemies.

Over 5,000 years ago, Melody's ancestor Frozen Shield, a pony skilled in the use of ice and cold-based magic, which would later be called Frost Magic, accompanied six other brave unicorns to this remote island, along with a large group of ragtag survivors from various disasters that plagued the area.

The seven Seers had a life-long dream to teach other young ponies their ways, so they the inhabitants of the island may grow and prosper independently, safe from the dangers of outside life. Frozen Shield, naturally, had a role to play in this event, and eventually, their efforts resulted in the construction of the HoovenStrum School of Magic, which both Mystical Melody and Burning Embers, her foalfriend for life, attend to this day.

But of course, not everything grand can go without it's problems. A tragedy struck the island one faithful day, and one of the other seven Seers, Strange Tidings, became corrupted by evil magic known only as Shadow Magic, turning him evil and causing him to attack the islands inhabitants. Frozen Shield and the other Seers moved against him, and during the ensuing battle, Frozen Shields magic caused the islands tallest mountain to be blanketed in a never ending blizzard, thus creating what would later be known as Mt. Winter.

Although the Seers attempts to stop Strange Tidings were successful, a terrible illness overtook Frozen Shields, and he perished shortly afterwards, along with four of the other Seers, leaving the supposedly lone survivor, Lord Instrument Strums, to rule Maradice Isle by himself.

It is unknown what happened to Melody's other ancestors. All that is currently known is that her now deceased father was a high-ranking royal guard in Princess Celestia's army in Canterlot for some time, evidenced by the fact that Melody still has her fathers suit of royal guard armor. It is unknown what happened to her parents, even by her, and it is assumed they both met with a terrible fate.

Growing up in the rough and tumble of the HoovenStrum School of Magic, alongside her childhood friend Burning Embers, she quickly learned to like her then teacher, General Smash, a highly skilled Frost pony. Melody discovered she had incredible talent in the use of Frost magic and quickly became General Smash's top student.

A few years later, Melody was forced to battle her teacher when Shadow magic surfaced again out of the blue and overtook the Frost professors mind. Though she was successful in defeating him, General Smash did not survive the encounter, and Melody was from then on forever scarred by her first brush with Shadow magic. She earned her cutie mark shortly thereafter.

Just when Melody thought everything was fine again, the worst had happened. Strange Tidings returned from his ashes, now even more power hungry then ever. Though Lord Strums did his best to defeat him, he was ultimately unable to, and the weakened Strange Tidings quickly fled from Maradice Isle, stating he was going to a land of enchantment to recover his strength, and eventually to return and overtake the island, plunging it forever into never-ending darkness.

The islands high council had assembled that night, consisting of Lord Strums and the school teachers, as well as Dancing Blades, the island duelmaster and registrar, and of course, Melody. After a long, heated debate about how to handle the Strange Tidings situation, it was eventually decided, mainly by Melody forcing herself into doing so, that she would travel to Equestria to hunt down Strange Tidings and put an end to his evil plot. This was met with much criticism from the school faculty, but Lord Strums believed it their best idea, as a Seer would have the best chance of finding Strange Tidings and ultimately stopping him.

Eventually, at the eve of the islands destruction, Melody did find and foil Strange Tidings plot, by using a very special item she had inherited from Lord Strums called the Light Medallion, which freed the wounded and weakened Strange Tidings from the shadow corruption that had dominated him 5,000 years prior. With his last few words, he instructs Melody and friends to destroy the shadow magic book that had originally corrupted him, before bringing down his Tower of Evil in a valiant effort to stop his own creation from destroying Maradice Isle. Though his life was lost, he was successful, and Melody's long journey was finally completed.

Upon returning to Maradice Isle, Melody and friends were greeted and hailed as heroes, the islands saviors from darkness. Lord Strums had pulled Melody aside into his office, where he officially dubbed her the new ruler of Maradice Isle in a new age of prosperity. Shortly after accepting her new position, Melody earned a pair of alicorn wings and was dubbed "Princess of Maradice Isle".

Some time later, a large Royal Palace was built in Saddleville, which Melody now lives in along with her adopted daughter.

Following some rather crazy events involving Shadow magic, Melody is finally able to destroy the corruptive nature of Shadow magic, allowing it's free usage without fear of corruption to the user. However, it also changed her dramatically: She is now able to call upon this dark power and summon her Shadow form. In this form, she's completely invulnerable to enemy attack and her magic power is boosted greatly. But overuse can result in the destruction of her soul, meaning she is unable to use it for very long. However, it is usable for whatever mundane task she needs it for.

Melody still rules over the island today, both as it's ruler and as the headmistress of HoovenStrum, and will likely continue to rule for many years to come.
