== History ==
== Personality ==
"Not much to say here. I'm not someone you ask questions to and if I don't like you get lost. Gods know I need any pestering flies around me." - Melanie on the topic of herself.
Melanie Skye is brave, loyal and fairly good hearted. She seems to have a hard time making friends and isn't afraid to speak her mind. Throughout the beginning of the story, she is shown to be arrogant, self-absorbed and very cocky in her abilities. Being the daughter of Pluto also made her boastful and bashful. Her physical abilities greatly exceeded her peers and even her twin sister, Stephanie.
Throughout her time in the scene, Melanie is shown to have a mixture of emotions riled up between anger, sadness and not feeling complete. Melanie seems to have a hard time making friends and trusting others. She is quick to act and short tempered. She hates it when others approach her and have no idea what to say and also sees no use for friends or allies unless their is a mutual benefit.
As her story unfolds, you get to see what made her so detached from others and how she rekindles the flames of friendship and relationships. She begins to give others a chance and even opens up to others.
"Cameron. No! He's alright I guess. I mean it's not like he's ugly or anything. He's actually a pretty decent guy when he's not acting stupid. He's also pretty strong and handsome. But don't you dare say I told you that! You'll be a dead man walking, trust me on that." - Melanie on the topic of Cameron.
Her experiences with Cameron make her feel more at ease with others and even she begins to have a much more mutual liking to him. She begins to hold romantic interest in him and holds a harder sense of dependence with that relationship. She learns why others want to approach individuals and why it is that she cannot bare the thought of losing someone as special to her as Cameron is.
"My name is Melanie Skye and I'm the daughter of Pluto. So if you mind your life you'd be wise to leave me the hell alone." - Melanie introducing herself.
Although she grows a bit, some things remain the same like her boastful self and her prideful self. She continues to hold a sense of authority in her name and her abilities. She holds pride in those accomplishments that she has made. She even is so much more prideful enough to help new comers push themselves to become better.
"I get it she can be annoying. Super shy, super quiet and super just over all odd. But don't you ever say anything bad about my little sister. She's my sister to pick on, not yours. And besides, she's actually pretty cool once you get to know her." - Melanie on the topic of Stephanie. 
Melanie's relationship with her sister changes a lot. Where before she held a much more older sibling picking on little sibling relationship. She learns to value her sister and her own character as a compliment toward herself and helps her sister become stronger and if not just as strong as herself. Melanie values her sister and begins to protect her sister from others who downsize her accomplishments or make it seem like Melanie did everything on her own when her sister helped her.
Their conversations change tone slightly and they become much more understanding of each other and even hang out much more. They deepen their own bond as siblings.
"I don't care about power. I don't care about being stronger than everyone else in this world. All I care about is making sure the people that I love are safe. If that makes me sound mushy then so be it. I'll cut you down myself and their we have it." - Melanie on the topic of Power.
As Melanie grows up she begins to shift her view of power and doesn't like the idea of chasing after power and rather holding the power needed to protect those she loves and cares about.
