Melissa is troubled when it comes to men—largely due to her upbringing on Olympus—and she detests mortals for being the "cause" of her predatory instincts. She tends to become overly attached at the slightest sign of friendship or affection; she is emotionally dependent, as she does not know how to love in a healthy way. She becomes aggressive whenever her hunger-driven instincts take over. She is, in truth, more unhinged than she appears; she possesses no capacity for mercy and uses her charms to manipulate others to serve her own ends.
Speaks softly and briskly, like she’s always counting symptoms; offers calm, practical phrases.
