1. Mel was once an ordinary, rather unremarkable-looking cat girl, just wandering around in the lower levels of the Idea's End doing all that she can to try and not die for the 12th time today by either the Moon Empire, the insane residents of her sublevel or a new heap of trash being spirited away right ontop of her.

2. Until, in a stroke of (mis)fortune, while searching the second heap of trash that smushed her this month, she found, nestled in a red cape, a legendary shape-shifting weapon that was lost to the sands of time (Until now, obviously.)

3. Granted untold, yet uncontrollable power by a legendary weapon and recruited into Unlucky's initiative to escape from the Idea's End, Mel would be best described as not trying to succeed, but rather trying not to fail. Badly.

4. Her weapon, the true name of which has been lost to time, can rearrange itself into several forms. Right now, she can rarely access the sword and whip form of this legendary weapon.
