Not to be confused with her Cosmic Dreams counterpart.

## Information

Melissa is a yandere girl who had an unpleasant childhood filled with abusive parents. She appears as a minor character in Cartoon City, and a major character in Holiday Havoc and Cosmic Dreams.

### Origin Story (TW: Abuse, Murder)

Melissa had abusive parents back in her unpleasant childhood, which left her with a very low self-esteem and no love received. When she grew up, she was stalking an unnamed person who she had a huge crush on. Eventually, Melissa got arrested and had confessed that she was stalking the unnamed person because all she wanted was to be loved. She also confessed about her abusive parents, who were later arrested for child abuse. Melissa, however, was sentenced to a mental area that was in the Hospital, which she had broken out of a few months later in October.

A major incident (which was later known as the *Dying Love Incident*) happened in a mansion on the outskirts of the city a few days after the breakout, where Melissa had killed a majority of people during a Halloween Party and while at it, kidnapped her crush. She got arrested again and was originally going to be sentenced to life in prison, but her parents had changed their ways prior to them being released and they managed to have Melissa's punishment reduced to a house arrest along with some therapy. Melissa was later released from house arrest and was allowed to have a weapon by her side in the event that she had to defend herself. (The law is very different in Cartoon City, by the way.)
