She has a doesn't really care attitude when it comes to school. She struggles through homework, but has been able to keep her grades to a steady stream of B's. She likes to hang with her brothers when she has time and jokes around with them. They try to ask her dating advice and she helps them date, but when it comes to just a one night of fun she laughs at them and usually says, "your on your own". She likes to watch horror movies, and makes fun of most of them. Doesn't like playing video games, thinks its mostly a waste of time.
A back pack with homework is a constant companion of hers. Back pack contains; 1 big textbooks, 2 small books, a pad of paper, pens and pencils, an exacto knife (used for her art class, uses it to sharpen drawing pencils), a towel for when she goes to work after school on her short days. Converse shoes, jeans, wallet, keys (to a xterra), necklace with some tribal designed pendent.
In her vehicle; Tool kit for her vehicle, bag of change of clothes, a baseball bat (gift for her brother, its wrapped already).

Her parents are divorced and has been staying with her dad and just visits the mom sometimes. The mother has had some trouble with drugs and hasn't been able to get back on her feet. Father is a cool guy, retired cop.
History: She usually doesn't have much time for them since she both goes to college and works as a life guard at a pool. The reason she chose to be a life guard was because she nearly drowned herself when she was 11 years old. Her brothers took her to a swim spot where you can jump off of a cliff into a body of water, but she had slipped and hit the back of her shoulder, passed out and nearly drowned. Currently in college, this is her second year, has four classes.
Relationship: Mel is not dating anyone at the time, since she had some bad experiences with past boyfriends. Half her friends commend her for being single, the other half wants to match her up with a date.
