Intelligence: Gifted (Both Melanie and her sister's martial prowess and teamwork are noted by the Vytal Festival combat analysis team to be so great that only a fighter with Semblance assisted attacks like Yang Xiao Long could handle them both in hand-to-hand combat and, if they had taken the fight more seriously could have beaten her. When Melanie fights alongside Miltia, the two form a great combination using flanking, distraction, and swift kicks to assault Yang and create openings for Miltia to attack. She also helps her sister while attacking, as seen when she sweeps Yang's leg to prevent Ember Celica from aiming at Miltia. On her own she displays a high degree of skill, able to do fast shifting, evasive flips, and even deflecting some of Ember Celica's bullets at both close range and long range. The twins prove to be a match for Yang and manage to knock her down once. Even without Miltia, Melanie is shown to be a very skilled fighter on her own, being able to hold her ground against Yang in close combat for a short time.
Growing up, she and her sister studied at Lady Browning's Preparatory Academy For Girls, a prestigious school for wealthy and socialite girls located in Vale, and secretly a faction of spies and assassins. From it, they received training in fencing, infiltration, social engineering, and self-defense)
Weaknesses: Has a tendency to underestimate her opponents. Continual damage to her Aura will cause it to decay to the point where she can be left open to more significant damage. Aura's durability is cumulative; it will deplete with each attack she takes and can be brought down by characters of similar strength. Semblances drain Aura by a small amount and without it they cannot be used until it is recharged. Constant exposure to extreme temperature can drain the user's Aura.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Melanie's Heels: Melanie's weapons of choice, a pair of long white boots with blades attached to the heels. They seem to have small armor plates on the front side of the ankle. There are also small chains on them, which are probably for decoration. The front foot pieces may have a small amount of armor as well. The soles of the shoes seems to be made of a durable material, as they withstood multiple blasts from Ember Celica.
