Melissa Rowland is a character on the fanfic Glee: The New Direction. Melissa was created by Xoxoamyxoxo. 
==Biography==
She was born into a well off family due to her Dad being a lawyer and her Mum owning a dance school. She lived happily with her brother Tommy (now 20) and her twin sister Evie. Her dad and Tommy bonded over sports whilst she and Evie were taught dance by their mum. They both soon became very talented dancers with their mum's private tuition. When Melissa and Evie were 14, her parents started arguing over Tommy's decision to leave home and move to Australia, with his dad saying he should go follow his dreams and his mum not wanting to lose her 'baby boy'. 2 days after Tommy left the arguments got worse and worse until one day their mum had enough and stormed out the house shouting at Melissa and Evie to get in the car. Evie rushed to get in to be with her mum, but Melissa refused to leave her dad on his own. As a result Melissa was left behind with her dad, not that she minded at the time. Later that evening they got a call from the local hospital to say that her mum and Evie had been involved in a car crash with her mum already dead but Evie was in a coma. Melissa and her dad drove to the hospital immediately and spent three days there in hope Evie would wake up but she never did. This scarred Melissa for life as she was so close to Evie and they were more than just twins. Now 16, Melissa puts on this bitchy exterior to hide to fact she is still grieving and upset for the loss of her mum and sister. She inspires to be the best dancer she can be and dreams for her brother to come home and make everything right again.
