Are Ranni and Melina the same person? (spoilers)
I think they must have split after Ranni killed herself, you can see the burned corpse on top of Liurnia divinity tower.

Then the eye thing, they have opposite eyes closed. They are both related to black knife assasins.

In the frenzied flames ending, it seems Ranni and Melina are back to being one person again and have both of their eyes open.

There is also some evidence to indicate they are not the same person, for example Ranni's tattoo is that of the death curse symbol. Melina's tattoo is the frenzied flame symbol.

They are different characters with different names, but in this game nothing is as it seems, multiple times characters have tricked us or pretended to be something they are not.

no
alone the fact that they have completely different motivations and goals should give it away

Ranni killed herself, you even find her body.

What I wonder is why she seems to go against you during the Rennala fight then doesn't seem to care or remember it happening.

It's been shown that Melina's face perfectly fits the ghost form present on Ranni's body...

They aren't the same person, but definitely do have a connection.

They are both Empyreans born from Marika.

Could be possible they're a split like Marika and Radagon? Same being, but different personalities and goals?

Melina is actually Ranni's old mentor but from a different timeloop before she became a snow witch.

Their absolutely not the same person, Melina's mother is from the base of the Erdtree(Leyndell) where Ranni's is Rennala from Raya Lucaria. Ranni's real body at the top of the Divine tower of Liurnia is much larger then her doll, which on her hat's description says that it's based on her mentor a "Snowy crone"

Where is the evidence for this? Also this isn't Dark Souls, there's no "loop".

melania is a different demigod, they are no
t the same person.

I believe they are the same person originally. Melina's mother is in the tree, that is queen Marika. Ranni is daughter to Rennala & Radagon. Radagon was a part of Marika she took out to wage war on her behalf. Ranni is also daughter to Marika because of this. Without further detail into Melina's life it can be assumed they are the same person. Followed by the opposing eyes with a mark & Ranni eventually getting the 2nd faced with the other eye to show up.

I have two theories on this.

1. Ranni "made" Melina, kinda how Flynn made CLU 2.0 in Tron Legacy. It'd explain the weird similarity between them and such, and how they both basically wind up manipulating you (or try to) to achieve their own ends, and also get frustrated when you don't do things their way.

2. Ranni and Melina are basically the same "thing" happening that Malenia and Milicent have going on. If you do Milicent's questline, she's basically like a "reincarnation" of Malenia, despite Malenia not actually being dead or anything. Does Waterfowl Dance when you fight her, has ties to and is afflicted by the Rot, missing the same arm, and Milicent gains odd memories and follows the same path Malenia took however long before after getting a needle jabbed in her. Maybe something happened with Ranni and Melina though, resulting in Melina having little to no idea where she came from, but knows a lot about the world and what her primary mission is. In Milicent's quest, Milicent removed the needle herself after seeing she was losing herself and becoming someone else - maybe Ranni saw that was happening to her "kid" and went "welp, I ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up, lemme try to fix this" and that was the result. Or maybe Ranni did all that on purpose just to have a pawn in play to point a tarnished with promise towards her, and thus Melina is nothing more than a puppet given a fake life to help her do her job.

Who knows, maybe some DLC will come out at some point to go into this further.

yeah, ranni's real body is burned to a crisp, and melina literally says her body was burned and that now she is bodiless.

there seems to be a connection, they had the same mother/father which is marika/radagon. We know empyreans can only be birthed by a god, aka marika/radagon. (marika is radagon, we also see marika turn into radagon in the final boss scene)

So it's possible ranni/melina are the same person who had some kind of a split upon ranni's death.

Nobody seems to notice one other hint. In the chaos ending Melina will deliver us what is ours. Destined Death. So she obviously also has a part form the rune of death.

Ranni was the one who originally stole a part of the rune of death from Maliketh to kill herself. So.. eh..

Yeah, that makes sense. I definitely think Ranni/Melina are connected

Either Melina is a clone or reincarnation or sibling of Ranni or they are the same person that underwent a split upon the death rune's use, since she was an empyrean, the part of her that wanted to rebel took control of a puppet that looked like her mentor and become ranni, and the part of her that wanted to please marika became melina.

But also the death rune has a confusing history and makes this theory so much more confusing because I'm not sure how it works and it has it's own story. For example melina can be the gloam eyed queen because the gloam eyed queen was in control of the death rune and was eventually burned and became bodiless upon marika's order to her shadow malekith

Yes, there is deep relation between Melina and Ranni. But you'll never find "physical" definitive explanation. Is she one person in two or whatever, etc. You'll never know and it's not important. Even the "Radagon is Marika" thing is just that, a concept. But at what extent "Radagon is Marika" is infinitely open to all kinds of interpretations.

My impression went something like this, spoilers ahead, D'UH.

If you 'make' a demigod out of only one god parent, the child is essentially a 1:1 copy. A modern word for that would be 'clone'. This can be seen by all the children in Rennala's room having her face although they are technically still children - she makes them with the help of her Great Rune, but out of only her genetic information.

In the same vein I think that Millicent's 'sisters' you get to meet during her questline and Millicent herself are clones of Marika/Radagon - or, more realistically, clones of Malenia who herself is a clone of Marika. So are the other children of Radagon and Marika.

So Melina and Ranni are not literally the same being, but they are figuratively the same being as both are clones of Marika ( well, of Malenia, but it's the same 'DNA', so to speak ) - as cloning is the only way you can make a child out of the genetic information of only one parent.

And as there can be only one 'god' ( = ruler of the Lands Between with the Elden Ring inside ), all of their clones automatically become demigods - I thought that was more of a rank name than a power-level thing. Like one general, multiple majors, and there can always be only one general.

In this scenario and with the translation we got ingame, 'Empyrean' would come down to mean 'clone'. This would also mean that Radahn, for example, is a copy of Radagon ( ingame items comment on their similiar looks, yet never call him empyrean - so possible mistake in the theory? ), but changed physically due to the whole cannibalism and rot thing.

And I think that it would also mean that Malenia and Radahn, who fought forever and ever, are clones of each other ( as they are then both clones of Radrika ), just that one is cloned from the Marika aspect of Marika, the other is made from the Radagon aspect. But this needs further study and thinking to really put together congruently.
