.:Personality:. Mel is a very stubborn woman. If she wants something she works to get it – within the limits of the law naturally. She can spend nights laboring over her current work, not even noticing that many hours had passed. She’s a bit of a mother hen, always trying to take care of her family and friends, by patching them up or even just by cooking for them. Though she doesn’t deal well with danger. She doesn’t know how to fight at all and she gets scared.
.:Special Skills:. She can handle tiny objects well, having learned that in her training. She’s one of those who could fix a wristwatch in her sleep.

.:Birthplace:. The Ark – Factory Station
.:Family:. Chewe Ford [Father – deceased], Carina Ford [Mother – deceased]
.:Occupation:. Mechanic
.:History:. There is not much special about Mels history. She was born on the Ark as only child of Chewe and Carina Ford. She grew up on limited rations and poor schooling in Factory Station. Being a daughter of two mechanics her way was pretty much predetermined from the beginning. So she trained to become a mechanic, along with several friends. As one of the few girls in her unit, she was quite popular. She could take their humor, could take on them, though not physically. She became a bit of the mother hen to them, patching them up – mostly with glue – sharing rations with those who had even less than she had. One of those friends was Sterling. After a few of her friends got locked up for minor theft, she met the guard Jonai. He was still in training and usually assigned to where she lived. The two of them shared a quick, yet tragic romance. Only five months later, Jonai met his death as 320 people were killed on the Ark, him being among the volunteers. From then on Mel threw herself even deeper into work, trying to help fix several vents, to seclude areas, just in case. It never came to that.
Mels father didn’t survive the dropship detaching from the Ark. As the entire station was brought down, the 19 year old girl was miraculously thrust from the ship before it crashed fully. She managed to hold on to a branch, but feared death would come to her to, as her friend Sterling and six more people found her and wanted to help her. It was the day Sterling died as well.
