History: Melissa was raised in a hard working conservative environment. 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. She bought a mace and has really upped her game hunting, due to her understanding of decoy and ambush.

Motivation: A rival would like her out of the picture.
