Melanie Graham (oc)
Name: Melanie Graham
Nicknames: Prairie Dog
Age range: 18-25
Hair: brown, straight, barely beyond shoulder length, straight bangs over eyes
Eyes: Hazel
Skin: pale
Body type: toned, slender, apple, 4'10"
Sexual orientation: homosexual
Bio:
Melanie grew up in in the midwest in the middle of bumf*** nowhere as an only child who was close to her parents. Her childhood was fairly normal and sweet, as were her teen years. It would later all spiral out of control when she graduated highschool and moved to the city with her best friend, to be close to her college of choice. She knew her friend lived in the ghetto area, but never quite comprehended how bad it was, being sheltered by a suburban life.
It was in the ghetto that Melanie began slowly discovering the injustices of law systems and criminals alike, as well as the poor barely scrapping by to live, and many instances of substance abuse and child abuse. As well as gang violence. In fact, her first taste of gang violence was when her own friend, who she moved in with, was shot dead when caught in the crossfire of a shootout. That's when the Prairie Dog was born.
Melanie started off eliminating the people involved in the shooting, not taking over the gangs but still taking them down. She then started seeing her sights on crimes she saw cops and courts overlook or ignore, punishing the perpetrators herself in one way or another. Usually with threats of sabotage or death. That or actually eliminating the target. With her alter ego gaining so much respect on the streets, she began making acquaintances with people who know things, without really building much relationships. In fact, she hasn't built /any/. Her other activities as the Praire Dog include swindling human traffickers and drug dealers before offing them, and robbing certain select places and people to give that money to the poor. Robin hood style.
Personality:
Melanie has a very catlike personality. She'll do whatever she wants, though that usually didn't involve rule breaking beyond stealing from the cookie jar as a child. Up until she became the Praire Dog, that is. On the streets, her friend taught her how to blend in and survive to a good extent, and Melanie had gotten better at it with experience. She was once a playful and sociable girl, until fully devouting herself to her vigilante work, taking a minor cut from what she steals and gives to the poor to provide for herself. Nowadays, she's very aloof and seems almost hostile based on her cold demeanor.
She doesn't make friends anymore, considering her line of work. It was a sacrifice she was willing to make, though. Her sense of morality and justice is incredibly strong, and if someone were to somehow break the mold, she'd be an incredibly fiercely loyal friend. But make no mistake, she's not a knight in shining armor. She's shady, and secretive, and has delved into a shady business. She chooses who she trusts and/or betrays carefully. But so long as you behave yourself, she'll get along with you just fine.
Abilities:
The extent Melanie had of any combat training is kickingboxing class. Most of her fighting skills were developed in the streets as she moved up in infamy and made her way through more targets. That being said, kick boxing is still her preferred fighting method. Her Praire Dog costume consists of an oversized brown trench coat with the large black scarf to cover up her hair, a white mask, black carge pants, and grey sneakers.
Her arsenal is constantly carried around in her black backpack consisting of: a metal baseball bat, a standard pistol, a butterfly knife, homemade smokebombs, pepper spray, a grappling hook, brass knuckles, rope, and whatever she just recently picked up or stole. She's skilled and self taught in using all these at her disposal, as well as whatever her current environment provides. However, she's not one for confrontation. She avoids fighting when she can, though fights are frankfully inevitable in her line of work.
She'll rarely use the pistol as a real weapon to fight with, rather being content with simply using it to off a beaten target or whip it out in a shootout. Besides, since it's not really stealthy, she'll usually settle with using her knife to kill. The bat, to fight. The pepper spray and smoke bombs are for quick getaways. Although, that pepper spray makes for an okay interrogation.
