Personality: She does not care much for physical appearances, nor does she care much for other people. She does however care about what she wants and getting it. She always tries to repair and not replace. It was this mentality that drove her into the Apothecary business.

History: She grew up in a lower middle class home, but living comfortably wasn't enough. Her parents died when she was young, and she was unceremoniously dumped in the city orphanage. Melissa grew up in the orphanage, tormented by the older kids and famished from lack of food. To avoid death by starvation, most orphans take to a life of crime or prostitution (often both), and so did Melissa. Unlike her family, who was content to work in a sleepy main town, she wanted to work in the city. She has been working here for the past few years.
