earnest and dedicated, mel can be described simply as a shrinking violet. with a tendency to push herself too hard in order to meet the unrealistic expectations she's set for herself.her hard working attitude and strong work ethic stems from a fear of failure and being alienated by her peers, her often passive personality leads to taking on pretty rough workloads in order to secure a 'spot' amongst the crew.nevertheless, her sense of moral is surprisingly strong - her steadfast beliefs seem almost unwavering; a value for human life has been engraved in her heart due to the irreplaceable people she's met.ironically, her fear of been seen as an outcast was exactly the reason why she has trouble openly socializing with individuals that she perceives to be intimidating and / or superior. yet; she tries to remain open to all and avoids prejudice as much as she can.despite her seeming naivety, she's shown both exceptional analytical abilities and knowledge on history, a believer that humankind follows patterns that can be avoided once people recognize when and where they're committing the same mistakes their predecessors committed.despite her distaste for grim topics, she's surprisingly down to earth; akin to a voice of reason that values logic over sentiment, straightforward when the situation calls for it, willing to knock sense into her peers if she perceives it's the right call.her introspection, however - often leads her to overthink situations. even if she performs decently enough during stressful situations, the aftermath of the situation leaves her exhausted to the point that she might fall into bad habits and be left emotionally vulnerable. often clinging to someone she perceives to be stronger than her for support, she can quickly become dependant on those individuals for her own comfort, or even be perceived as a pessimistic person.likes: coming up with her own mech designs, reading blueprints, reading about the olden century, aircraft fighters, cute clothes.dislikes: pushy and unreasonable people, pointless fighting, being teased, bugs.
sexuality: bisexual, no lean.
ideal type: someone she perceives as strong and reliable - a person she feels like she can trust and that makes her feel safe. if she finds someone she looks up to, there's a chance she'll crush on them.

the anti earth union group, or the a.e.u.g is an anti-federation movement that opposes the oppressive tactics of the federation's elite taskforce: titans. its ultimate political agenda is to reform the corrupt earth federation government, however, after the colony 30 incident, the organization became more focused on the more urgent task of fighting the titans with military force.it is mostly composed of dissatisfied colonists, federation soldiers who disown the titans and several ex-zeon officials posing as federation officers. its founder, blex forer, is a former high-rank officer in the earth federation forces who became outraged by the atrocities of the titans, he used his political and business connections to organize the resistace group.most of their jurisdiction and forces are in space due.independent from the space established aeug, karaba is another resistance group founded by former veteran hayato kobayashi, residing in earth, karaba operated from the audhumla, a giant cargo aircraft stolen from the federation during the aeug's attack on jaburo.since karaba's main benefactors were in space, it was initially more under-equipped than the aeug up until the titans influence lessened on space, most of their forces consisted of a rick dias and nemos left behind by the aeug, however, later down the line they were able to produce their own ground mobile suits for earth use, such as the msk-008 dijeh (based on the aeug's rick dias), famously piloted by the one year war ace pilot, amuro ray.their most significant operation would be an all out attack on the titans headquarters in kilimanjaro, as well as temporarily seizing control of the federation congress located in dakar to allow char aznable to make a globally televised speech, which led to the titans being shunned by the federation as a result. thus, the battlefield almost entirely shifted to space.

orphaned after the 7th space war, melissa got by with skills inherited from her late father, a former u.n.e engineer. her primary source of income would come from salvaging parts from broken down mobile suits, selling and trading them to vultures.at some point, she crossed paths with the freeden's crew - which lead to an encounter with kid salsamille, the pair hit it off quick, to no one's surprise, a proper proposition to join the crew was extended to her under kid's recommendation.hesitating in regards to fully committing to the vulture life, she'd weight her options. with conflict steadily escalating and bandit raids becoming more and more frequent, she'd eventually make up her mind after realizing that working solo would be far more risky and difficult.good natured and trusting to a fault, what kept her out of harm's way for the most part would be her keen eye for… trash. she seems to be far more interested in scraps and parts than complete mobile suits, however - she has a knack for turn even the dullest rocks into diamonds.up until tiffa's arrival she wasn't aware that she was a newtype, she's still in denial to this fact and can't quite come to terms with it, especially when juxtaposed with tiffa's borderline miraculous abilities. this is the reason she seems intent on keeping them a secret from the rest of the crew.
