Melody Black

“Never underestimate how stubborn a girl can                         be when she really wants something.” Melody Black Sixteen · Female · English · Guitarist Hair: Melody’s hair is blond, and goes down to her mid-back. She usually wears it down, with hairpins or other decorations, though she also wears it in other styles. Her hair is a little unruly most of the time, and it tends to stick up a bit in random places. She has a love-hate relationship with her hair, wishing it would stay down properly when she wanted, but at the same time kind of liking the look it gives her. Eyes: Melody’s eyes are large, round, and brown. They make her look as naturally inquisitive as she is. They say the eyes are the windows to the soul, and in Melody's case, her thoughts can be pretty obvious if one looks into her eyes. Face: Melody’s face is vaguely heart-shaped, though somewhat skinny, like the rest of her. Her skin is practically flawless. She's pretty light with her makeup, only really wearing lipstick or eye shadow at any given time, if that much. Honestly, she still looks great even without makeup. Body: Melody is somewhat tall for a sixteen year old girl, standing at about 5'8" and somewhat skinny. She has a modest chest, though her legs are generally considered attractively long. Her skin is fair as well. Because of her high metabolism, she's in good shape, as far as, well, shape goes... though she doesn't have a lot in the way of muscles, and she'd probably run out of breath pretty fast if she had to run somewhere.  Clothing: Melody wears dark clothes, highlighted with lighter colors, most of the time. Her favored combination is black and red. She tends to wear dark t-shirts and matching skirts or shorts, and similar clothes in the winter, though it is accompanied with a jacket or winter coat of course. She isn’t so stubborn that she won’t switch a skirt out for warmer pants, though. She is more likely to wear a long-sleeve shirt than long pants, and she hates anything resembling high heels.  Of course, she wears the proper school uniform when she goes to class, consisting of the standard shirt and the shorter of the skirt options. She tends to wear short shorts underneath the skirt, just in case. When it comes to pj's she tends to favor a simple tank top and short shorts. Her sleepwear is the only clothing she tends to wear that has much pink. She claims it is because she doesn't care, she's going to be asleep anyway. appearance General: Melody is somewhere between outgoing and introverted. She isn’t always talking, but she is usually able to find words when she wants to, with relatively little effort. She’s intelligent, but more than that she’s creative, as is befitting for a girl going to Fukui Academy. She knows the feel of her guitar well enough that she can practically remember it well enough to play it without even holding it, though obviously to others it would just look like someone who was just air-guitaring like an idiot. For the most part, she’s pretty nice, but she has a temper. She’s more likely to yell than to hit, but she does tend to bonk people over the head if she finds them annoying. She’s a fan of hugs though. She used to be a bully to cover her insecurities, and that can come up if she's distressed enough. She tries not to though, and in reality, she's uncomfortable around a lot of new people.

She finds the public baths in Japan, frankly, kind of scary. Melody is a bit of a gamer. Not overly much, since she has her music to distract her, but she enjoys them, and especially enjoys playing them with friends. personality History: Melody was practically destined to be an artist. Her mother was a painter, her father a songwriter for classical style music. She acquired her own passions early on, and thanks to her parents, she was able to practice her guitar from the time she was five. She went to middle school in a private school in England, though she never made many friends; She was afraid of people, and rather than being shy like most girls, she instead acted out as more of a bully. She feared people, so she made them fear her.The fact that she discovered she liked girls when she was about twelve didn't help. Her parents would never stand for it; they were always talking about what 'those people' did to society. So she pushed, she kept people away, for the most part. Her closest friends were either other bullies who weren't especially nice themselves, or people who feared her too much to say no to her hanging around them. Melody grew tired of the life she'd built for herself after a while. She had people who would spend time with her, but non who actually liked her for who she really was. She wasn't the tough girl she had put forth for people to see, really. The girl she was closest to learned that Melody was a homosexual (something Melody herself had been struggling to come to terms with for nearly a year), and began to make fun of her for it. It didn't help Melody's attitude at all, and things slowly got worse from there. Fortunately for her, word of her preferences never got home to her parents. Just as fortunately, she learned about a girl's academy for artists of all kinds, located where her uncle once lived in Japan. Her talent easily got her into the school… but actually being successful there was another matter. Art was easy… making friends, however… was not. It was her second year in high school before she managed to convince her parents to let her go, so despite being a second year student, she's as new as any of the first years. She had resolved not to make the same mistakes as before. She didn't want to be made fun of, and she certainly didn't want to be 'that girl' anymore when it came to bullying. She'd done it because she was insecure, and it hadn't gotten her anywhere. She knew that. This was her new chance at life. She could be who she wanted to be. She could be the rocker girl who made friends instead of minions and enemies. Maybe, just maybe, she could even find a girlfriend, and not be made fun of for who she really was. Being tough all the time was overrated. She just wanted to have friends.
