Appearance: 
Melina is of a bi-racial couple, she always wished for her mothers beautiful grey eyes. In fact she sometimes gets upset with her appearance, with both her parents in the fashion industry as designers they often praise models for their looks. It gets to Melina, she wishes she was taller than her rather short build and she forever whines about her dark skin. She's always been very involved in fashion with her parents as designers it was a given family aspect she'd have to follow, but she enjoys it very much.

Personality:
Melina is very nosy, she likes to know things about you for just incase's. Her confident ways can be quite funny to watch disappear, essentially she always makes sure she likes whoever she's confronting and speaks with much confidence, no fear but when confronted by someone more intimidating she does tend to turn to the quiet side. Back home in France she was the star of everything, very kind and happy but since being stripped from her happy home she is prone to mood swings and often does or says things that don't take long for her to regret.

Family:
Her family is rather small but slightly confusing, Melina's mother is her Father's third partner. Therefor she also has two half-siblings by the names of Elliot and Marcus, they are much older but are a big part in Melina's life. They mean everything to her, they where there for her when her Parents weren't. Due to her parents busy career's they often are away, it's always left a mental mark that's ignored. When it suits Melina is her Parent's golden star for them to boast about but then its almost as if she's just dumped in other Family member's home's when they can't care for her.

Background:
Melina grew up in and out of her Parents flat in Paris and her Grandmother's Riding school in the Rural part of france. She had always prefered her Grandmother's and would often bring her friends and half siblings there every summer with her. They would have the best time's as swimming in a fresh cool lake and going on trail rides or playing in the tall grass never really got boring.

When Melina joined school she was like a social magnet, her interesting lifestyle of constantly traveling and modeling made the best stories to talk about during lunch breaks and sleep overs.She really had it all, she made her best friend Sybil on her first day of pre-school and they where inseparable.

It all ended when she turned nine, her parents where both offered amazing Jobs in London. When Melina had to leave her one and only Sybil, she stopped talking to her, she occasionally would owl to Melina to say how things where going but it was all ruined for Melina. Sybil had in no doubt taken over Melina's role back in school and everyone just seemed to forget about her. The bond Melina had with her Parents also seemed to die off as their new jobs got to their heads they hardly payed any attention to the poor girl. She then started acting up and had severe mood swings and anger issues, its calming down since Hogwarts though as her Parents couldn't be there anyway so there's less hurt.
