Meliadoul Tengille

Meliadoul Tengille, also known as Meliadoul Tingel, is the daughter of Folmarv Tengille in Final Fantasy Tactics. She, her father Folmarv, and her brother Isilud, are Knights Templar in service to the Church of Glabados. Her birthday is December 24.

Appearance
Like her younger brother, Isilud, Meliadoul wears a golden templar armor with a long emerald-green cloak (with gray linings at the edge of her cloak in the mobile app version). She wears a long dark gray skirt and black boots. Like Loffrey, Meliadoul wears the hood of her cloak up. Her hair appears as light brown in her in-game while wearing a cloak if she is looked on front (light auburn in the mobile app version) and brown eyes

Personality
Meliadoul is unaware of the Lucavi plot. She is initially vengeful and cold-hearted towards Ramza, and blames him for killing her younger brother in the Riovanes Castle. When she realizes Ramza was telling the truth she apologizes, and decides to avenge Isilud by joining Ramza's party to aid in his quest to foil the Lucavi's scheme. She is righteous, brave and determined.

Vendetta Against Ramza
Meliadoul's brother Isilud is killed at Riovanes Castle when their father, the leader of the Knights Templar Folmarv Tengille, transforms into the Lucavi demon Hashmal and goes on a rampage. Not knowing of the Lucavi or that Hashmal had possessed her father, Meliadoul comes to believe Ramza Beoulve, who had been labelled a heretic, had killed her brother. She sets out for revenge, waiting for Ramza on the road to Zeltennia Castle.

When Meliadoul confronts Ramza, he tries to explain the truth, but she won't listen. She attacks, but Ramza and his friends overpower her. Meliadoul vows she would strike at Ramza again and teleports away.

Meliadoul prepares to strike at Ramza again as he approaches Limberry Castle to deal with Marquis Elmdore. Following Ramza into the castle basement, she witnesses Elmdore's transformation into Zalera, one of the Lucavi demons, after the Gemini Holy Stone kept on his person glows. Meliadoul has Zalera admit Folmarv is also possessed by a Lucavi, and, realizing the truth, she helps Ramza defeat him.

Meliadoul Against Folmarv
Meliadoul joins Ramza, alerting him that his elder brother, Dycedarg Beoulve, has been given the Capricorn stone, and thus may become a host to another Lucavi demon.

On their way to Eagrose Castle, Meliadoul saves Ramza from Cletienne Duroi in the Merchant City of Dorter. Cletienne notices Meliadoul's outfit, and the latter angrily replies that her brother Isilud and herself were used. Ramza and Meliadoul defeat Cletienne together. Before following Folmarv and another Templar, Loffrey, who escapes using teleporation, Meliadoul asks if her father was a Lucavi. Cletienne tells her to see for herself. Meliadoul realizes her father really is possessed.

After defeating Adrammelech, the Lucavi demon possessing Dycedarg in Eagrose Castle, Meliadoul and Ramza's party run into Folmarv in Mullonde Cathedral. Folmarv, with Loffrey and Cletienne, has mortally wounded Marcel Funebris, the high priest.

Meliadoul confronts her father, asking if he killed Isilud, explaining she had learned of the Lucavi and she knows Folmarv is possessed. Folmarv confirms and asks why she is with Ramza. Meliadoul explains the truth of the Lucavi to her father, and Folmarv remarks on her referring to them as monsters. Meliadoul rebels by challenging him, and though Folmarv proves a powerful opponent, backed up by two other Knights Templar, Loffrey and Cletienne, Ramza and Meliadoul prevail. Folmarv escapes with the other two by teleportation, and later raises Ramza's other elder brother, Zalbaag Beoulve, from the dead to distract Ramza long enough to escape. Meliadoul accompanies Ramza on the final stage of his quest to stop the Lucavi leader Ultima's resurrection.

Gameplay
An additional battle in War of the Lions includes Meliadoul confronting Cletienne about her father. Meliadoul fights as an ally, even if the player does not recruit her after the battle with Zalera.

When she joins the party, her level depends on the party's level, but she starts with 67 Bravery and 68 Faith, and comes equipped with the Save the Queen, Aegis Shield, Circlet, Luminous Robe, and Hermes Shoes.

Boss
Meliadoul is fought at Free City of Bervenia. She starts at level 35 with 67 Bravery and 68 Faith, and comes equipped with the Defender, Platinum Shield, Platinum Helm, Carabineer Mail, and the ultra-rare Chantage.

The player can steal both the Defender and Chantage, as they are rare and powerful pieces of equipment. Defeating all of the enemies or KO'ing Meliadoul is not required; simply reducing Meliadoul's HP to less than 20% of her Max HP ends the battle.
