A pair of ropes are protruding from between the scarf and the robe at the front and a stone is decorating each end. Lastly, the squad's insignia is located at the center back of the robe.

Personality
Despite her hostile attitude and short temper, Meleoleona shows a deep understanding in how to motivate others, even those she just met.

Biography
Meleoleona is born as the oldest daughter of House Vermilion.

After the assassination attempt on her brother Fuegoreon Vermilion and his subsequent coma, Meleoleona takes over as captain of the Crimson Lion squad and, at Julius Nova Chrono's request, attends the annual Star Awards Festival.

After the Crimson Lions place fifth, Meleoleona berates them for letting Fuegoreon down and decides that they should all further train in a hot springs. When she hears Asta exclaim about the idea of the training camp, she grabs him with a paw of fire and invites him to come along. Yuno goes to leave but she grabs him, too, since she wants to see the power of the two best rookies.

As Yami Sukehiro is praising himself, Meleoleona shows up and Yami laughs at Asta being caught, before she grabs him as well for training. She goes on to grab Charlotte Roselei and Noelle Silva and carries them all off to the Ultime-Volcano Mountain Trail. She encourages them to reach the summit and the hot spring there, but none of them are excited. She then kicks Asta and Leopold onto the trail because they are distracted.

When Noelle begins to doubt herself, Meleoleona notes how the girl has changed and challenges her to be like her mother, which motivates her. When Asta collapses from exhaustion, Meleoleona tells him to go home as he lacks the magic and the determination to climb the mountain, and speculates that luck let Asta reach the second place rookie and could let him become Magic Emperor. However, Asta disagrees and is motivated to continue. However, he struggles to come up with an answer and makes a joke of it, which incites Meleoleona to threaten sending him home. She then leaves him to struggle.

After Asta accesses his Anti Magic and loses control of the transformation, he shoots straight to the top of the volcano, where Meleoleona is waiting for him. She releases her mana and jumps at him, before he warns her to run away. Pointing out that lionesses are the hunters of their prides, she leaps midair to Asta's left and punches him, sending him crashing into a rock. She compliments him for improving and then demands that he strip to enter the hot springs.
