Nickname of the maid Mellisandre. The spelling appears on her Knightmare Top Trumps card as provided in The Quest.

Mellie is an astonishing eight syllables shorter than her full name of Mellisandre Makepeace Perhappenstance. This is almost as astonishing as the sonorous coincidence of Melly finding herself employed alongside Molly and Milly at the Crazed Heifer.

Just as this sobriquet gave rise to the less complimentary nickname 'Smelly Melly', it's possible that Aesandre became known as 'icy knickers' through shortening her name to 'Aesy'. But I digress.
