| [atrb=border,0,true] melina grace richards  this here is melina richards; she is a twenty year old college student who has lived in lipton since the year she turned twelve. the daughter of a former miss colorado and miss america second runner up, mel has been entered in beauty pageants since before she could even walk. in fact, these pageants have have practically ran her life. she's a music major, with an emphasis on piano and she's damn good; it has just started to feel so much like a job that she doesn't really enjoy it anymore. the constant pressure from her family to be perfect with it doesn't help, either. she'd much rather be studying biology and nursing. still, she hasn't worked up the nerve to tell her mother that because that is one of the people mel can't bear the thought of disappointing (along with her sister). behind the scenes of the pageant circuit, she's the girl her mama raised: she's ruthless and competitive, willing to tear down another girl with a catty remark and judgmental stare before flipping the switch with a smile and well-spoken charm to the judges. but don't let that fool you; that's all for the sake of winning that crown and title. she has a legacy to uphold, you see, and nothing will stand in her way. the real melina is seen when she is amongst her friends. she's a friendly girl, though maybe not a total extrovert. don't mistake her silence for bitchiness; she's observant and likes to get the lay of the land before diving in. and okay, maybe deep down, she does have a judgmental streak, though she has gotten a lot better with biting her tongue as she has gotten older. considering how her mother was while she was growing up (not to mention the eating disorder she's developed), she is a bit of a control freak. but no matter her faults, her heart is usually in the right place. she'd do anything for those she cares about without a second thought. friends, enemies, loves; she could use it all, even though her end game is already sealed by matt craft.
