Ah, Melissa...
Melissa Sone is from the japanese/italian animated series Montana Jones and one of my fave cartoon cuties that appeared on the TV screen just in time to mess up my preferences during puberty.
A little bit on the show, Montana Jones was an Indiana Jones inspired series in which the epitomous hero discovered lost ancient treasures, supported by his fat cousin Alfred and Melissa, always fighting the villianous art collector Lord Zero and his blundering henchmen. The show was set in a 1920s/1930s earth inhabited by anthopomorphic cats (big cats like lions and tigers appearantly). The stories were suprisingly good and the ideas for treasures, mazes riddles and traps pretty neat. The animation was good standart. The highlight for pubescent little me was of course Melissa, she was cute, sexy and the animators appearantly took great effort in giving her at least one different outfit (in the fashoin of the 1920s/1930s/1940s) in every episode. Her character was a bit self-contradictory when I look at her retrospectively. On one hand she was highly intelligent and spoke fluently over 20 langlauges, on the other hand she was often dumb enough to get caught by the mostly incompetent villians to be the damsel in distress for the hero. Another thing I noticed (and that probably messed me up in one way or the other) is that something like in this picture happend quite a lot to her. She often lost a shoe or took them off and walked around on stockings. I think thats where my mild fetish for stocking feet hails from, alongside with an early imprinting on anthro characters. You can see quite a lot of the episodes from that show (in german voice dub) here: http://www.veoh.com/list/c/MontanaJonesDE
