basics BIRTHDAY: DECEMBER 25th STATUS: ...It's complicated... ORIENTATION: Straight KEY TRAITS: Intelligent. Shy. Quiet. Insightful. Selfless. Helpful. behind the mask Hello! My name is nevermore and I am 14 years old. As of today, I have been role playing for approximately one year. I also play CLARISSA ANN BLAKE. EDWARD AYDEN BLIZZARD..

Appearance: Melanie has fair skin with q few freckles on her face. She has long, wavy blonde hair and icy blue eyes. In terms of height and weight, she's definitely petite. She's under five feet tall and slightly under average in weight, too. Clothes: Kind of whatever the wardens want... She doesn't have much choice. History: Melanie (a.k.a. Millie) is the only daughter of two important citizens. Her mother is a well known author and her father is a butler in the president's house (it's a loftier position than it sounds). Most of her ancestors were also well to do- only her grandmother on her father's side was less respectable, as she was a rebel, but the family doesn't talk about her much. Anyway, her parents were both adopted by the same family (her father's mother died in childbirth and her father ran away soon after, never to be seen again; her mother's mother went off to be a rebel and was killed later by the city military, her husband couldn't take the shame of being married to a rebel and committed suicide). Melinda Sue Bluewater was adopted only a year after Joe Doe Bluewater. Both took the surnames of their adoptive parents, Marie Polka and Gary Lee Bluewater. They should have regarded each other as siblings, but really they saw each other as playmates, then friends, then lovers, and finally, husband and wife. Joe proposed to Melinda when they were both eighteen. The wedding occurred two months later. The couple's favorite joke around that time was that now they could become Melinda Sue and Joe Doe Bluewater-Bluewater. One year later, the couple's only child, Melanie Jane Bluewater. Remembering her grandmother, the young parents decided they were going to raise their daughter 'right'. The first instance of this decision was when Millie was five. She and her mother were playing in her room when she glanced out the window to see a small boy around her age loitering in the street, wearing only rags. She asked her mother and was astonished to find herself dragged away from the room. This was because the boy was a 'street urchin', according to her parents. Really he was a professional thief who stole to eat (or technically, the child of two of these thieves who was proving to have a prodigious talent in the family trade). They didn't tell their daughter any of this. That made her curious. A curiosity that was compounded when they wouldn't let her go near that side of the house that had Windows to the street. They didn't even let her sleep in her room. So of course, now she had to know. Once her parents were asleep she snuck into her room and looked. The boy was there- robbing a fruit stand. She laughed. She'd always wanted to rob that stand! Donning a dark sweater she dashed outside and introduced herself to the boy, Joe John Schmoe. She instantly liked Joe. He was smart and funny. They kept meeting at night like that for five years. During that time Joe taught her much of his trade. She could steal very well at age ten, and she could fight too. She knew, through Joe, a very fair amount of karate. She and Joe were pretty much boyfriend and girlfriend; they had kissed a few times, even though they were only ten. At age ten, she and Joe decided to join the rebels. The two soon became prized as spies. After all, children who looked sweet and cute but we're really karate masters- perfect spies, people! But on her fifth mission, something went wrong. One of the people she had previously spied on recognized her and she was taken into custody. She was scared that she'd never see Joe again. But the next day, these worries went away. They had put her in the memory machine and Recreated her. She was now fully loyal to the city. Her outgoing nature, rebellious tendencies, and 'vicious propensities' were removed. She was now shy and quiet- and she had no memory of Joe. For about a year, she was happy in the city. But then, during a rebel attack, Joe saw her and recognized her. He took her and brought her back. He didn't want her thrown in prison but they didn't have a choice- she kept trying to flee. It was blatantly clear that she'd been Recreated. They held her in a cell and Joe tried to help her remember. But Joe was scary to her; she didn't know him, but he insisted he knew her! Nan executive decision was made to replace Joe with another boy, a twelve year old, named Maxwell Gorman, or Max. Max stayed in her cell pretty much always. He was very nice to her. Within a month, she was just as close to Max as she had been to Joe. But the first time they kissed, she nearly passed out. The kiss had jogged so.e of her memories, the ones with Joe. It was a very confusing time for her. She knew from her memories of Joe that she hated the city. But the aspects of her Recreation that still lingered made her confident she loved it. She also knew she loved Joe. But her memories of that love seemed foreign, like she'd read about them in a book. Her love of Max- and she did love him- seemed more real. But the love of Joe was there, too... She was torn. And she often suffered from migraines when she tried to untangle her memories. She couldn't throw off the changes to her personality and loyalties. She could only lock away her city loving side enough to be confident that she wouldn't try to escape- because of this she was allowed free reign of the camp, even though she was still technically a captive. For five years her life was like this. She tried not to get involved with Joe or Max- not wanting to choose she tried to have neither. One of her favorite places at the camp became the Dance Hall. She used.alcohol to forget her problems- and her hangovers from the day before. Her day became a cycle of drinking herself silly at night, waking up hungover, and repeating. As the years went by she began to get more and more drunk each night. One night when Millie was so drunk she could barely think Joe happened to wander in. She managed to persuade him to go to her room with her (it wasn't hard). The next night it was Max who happened to catch her eyes first. This went on for three more years. Slowly her drinking slowed down as she got more mature and got a better hold on her dual life. By age eighteen, she was sober nearly every day. Along with sobriety came a realisation that what she was doing wasn't morally praiseworthy. She also found she didn't really care. She loved both guys- why shouldn't she have both? After all, then she didn't have to break up with one or both of them... a win win scenario. It's now two months to her nineteenth birthday, and she has realized she's pregnant. But she also has a dilemma- whose child is it?
