Melissa the Hedgehog (メリッサヘッジホッグ Merissa za hejjihoggu) is a 16 year old with a rather big heart and sees the good in a lot of things. Not to mention she also enjoys the littlest things in life. She is the daughter of Elizabeth the Hedgehog and Nikolas the Hedgehog, a former villain turned hero. Because of this upbringing, Melissa can understand people at their darkest hours more clearly than most people.
Appearance
Physical/Anatomical
Melissa is a female hedgehog that stands at 3'4" and weighs 96 pounds. Her fur is brown, her muzzle is peach, her arms are peach, her stomach is peach, and her inner ear color is peach. Melissa's eyes are as brown as her fur color.
Like Amy, a tuft of hair can be seen on her forehead. Her tuft is more curly than Amy's, however, and covers one of her eyes. She has short and curly hair. However, it appears that way because most of her hair is held up in a high pony tail. Once her hair is let down, it reaches past her shoulders.
Normal/Modern Attire
Melissa wears a black crop top with a red dripping heart on the shirt. She wears green gym shorts. She wears black ring bracelets with grey spikes on them. Her shoes are black and have red hearts on the side of them. The shoe laces are green just like her shorts.
She isn't the type that likes to dress up all the time, either. Melissa generally likes to stick with one outfit to keep it consistent.
History
im def rewriting
Childhood
Melissa is an only child, being the daughter of Elizabeth the Hedgehog, a former member of a currently unnamed organization, and Nikolas the Hedgehog, a renounced villain that runs a library instead. They all lived in a small, cozy town that is not chaotic like the city. As a child, Melissa often wanted to feel a part of her community and always did her best to be part of said community. However, not everyone was on board of letting Melissa in; they couldn't get over her own father being the villain that used to terrorize their town. As such, most of the kids steered clear from her. For most of her little kid years, Melissa felt isolated from her peers.
Personality
Melissa is a carefree and a kind of chaotic teenager. She always seeks to have a good time hanging out with her friends, like what teenagers do. She is very boisterous and full of spunk, and she also happens to be gifted with sarcasm when the time is right. It is very easy to amuse her and she also happens to be impulsive, not putting much thought in the choices she makes.
She always loves to do new things, as she always yearns to try everything metaphorically. She has often joked about herself being born with the ability of curiosity. She sets challenges for herself, and she soughts out to achieve them. Even if she can't fully fulfill them, it was still nice to work hard towards a goal. Melissa often does live for the thrill, finding the adrenaline pretty riveting. Sometimes, life might get chaotic for Melissa and that is when she prefers to "slown down" (by spending as much time to herself).
Growing up with her parents (especially her father) and growing up with facing stigma in her town, Melissa was exposed to many different atmospheres. Her old father used to be a villain, and as such she has more empathy and compassion towards him than most people do in the town. Her mother always told her to stay true to herself and always be kind to others, and it is quite clear that Melissa took that advice straight to heart. While she is an impulsive and boisterous teenager, she can display moments of maturity when the time is right.

Abilities
Above average strength
Melissa has above average strength, meaning she is stronger than the average civilian. She may not have super strength like Knuckles, however, she is physically stronger than the average civilian. She is able to defend for herself and to take down any intruder with almost all ease. She cannot punch through rock or anything strong; her strength is solely for self-defense.
Skills
Swordsmanship
A unique trait about Melissa is that she is skilled on how to use swords, as she was trained by her very own mother Elizabeth. She is primarily efficient with a katana, as that is her main weapon. Her swordsmanship is at similar skill as of Pearl from Steven Universe. Her agility and flexibility makes Melissa attack with grace and poise, and with some keen accuracy. Even though her temperament is a problem, Melissa can stay calm in this situation. She is able to fence as well.
Remixing music
Melissa really enjoys music, and she is also really enjoys playing around with music. She knows how to take samples from songs or the whole song in general and remix it to her own liking. While she knows how to remix, she is also learning how to compose her own music. She works better with electronic music moreso.
Weaknesses
Temper and Personality Issues
Melissa can lose her temper when you make her angry enough. Her sarcastic and passive aggresive attitude can cause fights to start. If you insult her family line, she will take great offense to that. She does not being reminded on how her own father was not a good person initially, and that is not exactly the conversation starter you want to impose on her.
Slight Deafness
Her hearing sometimes can be fuzzy but only in noisy situations. For instance, if the room was somewhat noisy and someone quietly is speaking, Melissa can't hear it fully and can only hear parts of it. However, if the room was quiet, and someone is quietly speaking, she can hear it no problem. Melissa's hearing is really fine, but people just tend to talk quieter around her, making it harder for her to hear. So Melissa can be considered a little deaf.
