10 things I'll bet you didn't know about...Melissa
1. Melissa is the fourth original character that I created (or at least the fourth character who I decided to give detailed information on and have used somewhat regularly). She was created in 2000.
2. Melissa's birthday is May 3 (and for those of you who pay attention to major severe weather events, that also happens to be the same day that this happened). The reason why I chose this date for her was semi-intentional, but not completely. I wanted to choose a date during the spring and one that I could easily remember, and for me May 3 was definitely a day I'll remember.
3. Melissa is largely inspired by Gadget Hackwrench (with whom I had a Helga Pataki-esque relationship with as a kid). Her electrical powers and raichu form are (obviously) inspired by Pokemon.
4. Her ability to transform comes from the angelic powers she gained shortly after turning 18. At this time, I haven't decided how I want to explain how this came to be, but I'll likely do a story about it in the future once I do.
5. Even in Melissa's normal form, she still carries an electrical charge in her cheeks and tail. Although her charge is strongest in Raichu form.
6. Melissa has the ability to grow in size to accommodate multiple breasts for whenever she has to nurse large litters at one time. In her angelic form, it is possible for Melissa to have upwards of 200 kids at one time. In addition, since being mated to Sapphire, Melissa has inherited some of the abilities that Sapphire has. (I.E. to 'give birth' to her offspring through spheres instead of vaginal birth, though she only does this for large litters).
7. Melissa is semi-immortal thanks to her angelic form. Her body stopped aging shortly after her 21st birthday. She's also fertile for life as well as able to lactate even without kids of nursing age.
8. Melissa is part-vixen. Her mother was a vixen and even though Melissa took after her father (a field mouse) for the most part, she did inherit a few fox characteristics. For example, she has fox-like claws on her fingertips and toes, thicker than normal fur in the wintertime, and longer/sharper canine teeth to go along with her traditional buck teeth.
9. Melissa is omnivorous. While most of her diet consists of fruits, vegetables, milk, and cheese, she can eat certain types of meat as well (namely fish and poultry). However, Melissa cannot eat any kind of meat that comes from another mammal (it causes an allergic reaction).
10. Melissa's tail is NOT segmented and smooth to the touch. It is also prehensile and quite strong. She can very easily hang upside down from her tail in the same way that a possum would be able to...at least in her normal or angelic forms. Her tail isn't quite as strong in her raichu form, but it's still prehensile and still contains the powerful electric charge in it.

I think she did ask before Sapphire gave her some of hir abilities, if I remember correctly. Yeah. She probably asked.
Sapphire also gained hir angelic form from her, and hers has a very short pregnancy, but she gets extremely hungry and requires a lot of food before she gives birth. Same way with hir. About a day long gestation for that form, and eating a ton before giving birth.
I knew about the charge. Sapphire don't have as strong of one, though shi had gotten the ability to use hir hands for hir Thunderbolt in addition to getting a boost to it and being able to use electricity more freely, but not as freely as Maneson or the other siblings that are electric types. Shi does have a charge in hir Raichu form, though I guess shi could have a subtle one normally. I also know that she had a Pikachu form and it evolved later, after she became an adult? I think..... I remember you mentioning that... or was it when she had sex? Not sure.
I knew about her being omnivorous. Comes with being part-vixen. Same for the rest of Sapphire's family. Omnivores, Sammy is a pure carnivore, one sister, the Celebi/Mewtwo hybrid, is a full vegetarian, and another, the Leafeon/Mewtwo hybrid, is mostly vegetarian, but she eats some meat, though only fish and poultry.
I think I knew about her being semi-immortal. I guess Sapphire could be the same way. Shi is fertile for life, and the rest of the siblings might also be the same way. Haven't really decided.
