Name: Melody Espressivo

Important Appearance Things: Long, very fluffy blonde hair, lavender eyes, and FLOPPY DOG EARS!! That are also blonde. She's based off of a golden retriever.

Other Important Things: MELODY IS A BARD, therefore her skillset contains a lot of things like crowd control (paralysis, confusion), basic healing for hp and mp, and buffing her teammates with things like vitality, might, power, defense, etc. THE BUFFS ARE THE ONLY THING SHE IS ACTUALLY REALLY FUCKING AMAZING WITH, since that is the purpose of the bard class. She is totally useless as an actual combatant in a fight if you want to cause damage, unless you give her a stick to hit things with. She has a staff that she uses in her "canon", though it is never used physically. If she has to physically attack someone, she will do it with her fists post boss-battle.

Basic Personality: Calm and cheerful, though she has very intense bursts of excitement when she sees things that she knows or something exciting happens! She is a very determined individual that never gives up, and she always puts on a happy face for the people around her. She is always honest about what she thinks and feels!

However, at the same time, while her heart is in the right place, she honestly isn't a very competent person. She depends heavily on her childhood friend for ... everything, basically.

Also, at one point she cried over a squirrel because she tried to hunt one for a party member but then she failed and she cried and the squirrel became their mascot.
