Melanie is a late-20's, blond, blue-eyed beauty. She's beautiful in a pretty, non-threatening way; she doesn't inspire jealousy, awe or lust with her looks, but certainly interest. She has a disarming quality to her, and yet a sense of the strange as well -- around her, you just feel more alive. It's a soothing, pleasant sensation that anyone would want more of.

An odd combination of political activist and priestess for the Goddess, Melanie organized the Circle of the Silver Moon to fight for her pet causes in the city. While she never held a seat on the city council, she was known for making her presence and her views felt at their meetings. Word in the news is that she's threatened more than once to organize the college-age voters to kick out one of the council members if they don't do right!

Of course, this was all before she was captured by the Technocracy, and subsequently rescued before their base went up in a nuclear fireball. Changed, perhaps traumatized by the tender mercies of the New World Order, nevertheless she seems to have made a decent recovery. Now part of the chantry of mages based out of Ground Zero, Melanie's purpose has shifted from the political sphere to a more active role against the Technocratic science that's choking the spirit of the world.
