## Personality

Mel is a passionate, outspoken young woman. A firebrand social justice warrior, she is a deeply feeling person and a self-proclaimed "feminist" lesbian; as such, she doesn't "butch-up" in her personal style. And on account of her homosexuality, Mel tends to be rather cynical, expressing a marginally low opinion and scoffing attitude when presented with typical “girly” stuff.

She is stated to be a “control freak”, made apparent of her ability to control time which reflects Mel's drives and sense of responsibility. Her assertive approach in life couple with an inherent sense of compassion instilled into her by Melinda makes Mel a natural-born leader.

## Physical Appearance

Mel Halliwell is a young Latina woman of slightly below average height, standing physically the shortest of Melinda's three children, and with an athletic build physically in her early 20's but is in her mid 40's.

## Powers and Abilities

***Basic Powers***

* **Spell Casting:** The ability to cast spells and perform rituals.
* **Potion Brewing:** The ability to brew potions. This is Mel's specialty.
* **Scrying:** The ability to locate a person or object by the use of a scrying crystal, a map, and sometimes other tools.
* **Mediumship:** The ability to see and commune with spirits of the dead.

***Active Powers***

* **Temporal Manipulation:** The ability to manipulate the flow of time and is a collective term referring to several temporal-based powers. This power is connected to her molecular immobilization power.
* **Molecular Manipulation:** The ability to manipulate matter on a molecular level. More specifically Mel can reduce or increase molecular speed.
	+ **Molecular Immobilization:** The ability to slow down molecules to the point that they freeze. This power works on almost all objects and beings, except certain upper-level demons such as the Triad, and other good witches. This is Mel's primary power which she channels through her hands.
	+ **Molecular Inhibition:** The ability to completely stop the movement of molecules, causing them to lose their energy and solidify, resulting in ice.
	+ **Molecular Combustion:** The ability to speed up molecules to the point that they explode. This power advanced so much that she is able to destroy upper-level demons. It is considered Mel's strongest and most frequently used power.
		- **Deviation:** The ability to manipulate your current magical power to deflect energies back in the direction it came from that are thrown in the targeted direction of the deviator. Mel is capable of this through the use of her molecular combustion power.
		- **Molecular Acceleration**: The ability to reverberate molecules at a speed which causes them to rapidly heat up and sometimes become disordered; this can often result in either melting or ignition.

***Other Powers***

* **High Resistance:** The ability to be highly resistant to physical and magical harm, surviving otherwise lethal attacks.
* **Immortality:** The ability to possess an infinite lifespan and an arrested aging process.
