History: Wiki.
Personality: Melanie is angry. She has always been angry, because for her anger is both a driving force and a substitute emotion in the face of disrespect, mistreatment, being ignored, having to claw her way tooth and nail to success and acknowledgement. For a while it was all she could really feel, thanks to the ghost bullet, but since having it removed and more importantly attending regular therapy she's come a long way to controlling it and expressing her emotions and needs in more productive ways. But no matter what, she's not afraid to demand the respect she knows she deserves, even if that means coming across as a bit of a bitch sometimes. She's not ashamed of that impression, not really.
She has a lot of pride in her accomplishments and is a very dedicated worker when she actually wants to do the work she's doing. She's got a dry sense of humour and is very blunt even when she's being generally nice to you, but she does have a slightly softer side that people closest to her get to see. Despite all her rough edges, Melanie ultimately does want to do good in the world and cares for people.
Initial Game Plan: Melanie's got to adjust to being blind, first and foremost, so she's not going to rush right into working or moving out of the O&I even if she'd rather be more immediately independent. So it's settling, adjusting, making new friends.
RP Interests: Very open to new friends and people she can chill with, but also she's got the kind of attitude that lends itself to negative CR with certain types so I'm down for that too. This is the first taste of freedom from the Institute Melanie's getting and whilst it's not how she'd prefer it, she does want to try and recuperate and find meaning in life again, so anything playing with that.
Preferred Job: Currently unsure! Something adjacent to her old work would place her in either publishing or audio entertainment probably but the options in those areas are tight, so we'll see.
NSFW-friendly?: Theoretically, but probably not in practice since she's got a girlfriend she's looking to get back to at home.
