Personality: Melissa is a very introvert person. She tries to go through life ignoring everyone, but if you get on her bad side, she finds it hard to turn the other cheek. She's very self-conscious, and usually deals with her anger through "curses." She is obsessed with magic and witchcraft and believes that she has the ability to curse others. Ironically enough, when she "curses" other people, bad things tend to happen, so she has yet to be proven wrong in her own head.
Melissa is also a gifted writer and artist. She's always writing or drawing when she's out and about, and is a decent musician when it comes to piano and voice control, but she doesn't like anyone hearing or seeing her work. Despite the fact that she ignores everybody, she is rather vain and is always wearing make-up and nice clothes, usually a Gothic style in shades of purple, red or black.
Where I Began
Mother: Sandra Brooks (Darkwood)
Father: Eric Darkwood
Siblings: Mika Darkwood(13)
Other Relatives: Aunt Roberta Brooks
Pets: Celeste (black cat)
Friends: Celeste is the only one that Melissa could consider a friend (so far)
History: Melissa grew up a loner. She didn't have a bad childhood, really, except for her workaholic parents and her bratty little sister. Until Melissa turned three, her mother was a business woman and a workaholic. Her father was a stay at home dad, but when Mika was born, her parents divorced. Her father was tired of being stuck at home and being married to a type-A personality. After the divorce, Eric ended up gaining custody over Mika, but Sandra was stuck with Melissa.
After the divorce, Melissa saw her father about once or twice a month, and her mother even less than that, it seemed. Sandra spent hours at work, and when she was at home, she was most likely on the phone. Sandra and Eric never talked when he visited, and if they did then it ended up in an argument. After Sandra got tired of seeing Eric, she decided to get rid of him by sending Melissa to a boarding school.
During school, Melissa distanced herself from other people. She was rather normal, of course, until she learned about European cultures and a few of the religions that it had. When she discovered Wicca, she was interested in the subject. She continued to research it and was drawn even more to another style of paganism. Witchcraft. Growing up in a female dominant home, she liked how the religion worshiped the female half. After three years of study and practice in the art, Melissa truly believes that she is a witch capable of magic, both dark and light, and that Celeste, a cat she had found wandering outside of the school grounds, is her familiar.
