Backstory: Melanie was raised in a poor family who lived in a one-story cottage in the woods. By the time Melanie was three, her family could afford to live in an actual community and buy a two story house. It was painted light blue and had a cobblestone driveway. She loved it. She wouldn't rather be anywhere else. Everything was picture perfect, but everything took a drastic turn. Her mother, Anabel, died in a car crash on the way to work. Anabel worked at a doctor's office, and mainly worked in the children's ward. She was 28 years old. Melanie was only four when she died. She was strucken by the event. Her mother (besides her father) was the best friend she ever had. Besides her dad, she didn't have many friends. All the neighbor kids would be mean and throw rocks at her. There are lots of permenant bruises around her body (specifically her lower left hip) because of the rocks. Her father found out and thought they should move to a village far north of where they used to live. Melanie lived a normal life since then and is now homeschooled by her father.
