Melissa's the daughter of Hedrick and Allison Chapman.
Both of her parents are hosts to Yeerks.
She's been aware since 1998 that her parents have been replaced by something. She's thinking possession.
Knows some variant of Pitman. Chews through notebooks taking notes of everything, her hand never stops moving.
Melissa has a shitstomping but limited firearm of some kind in her backpack that's a secret to everyone. (870 super shorty that she personally aqcuired or a Mac10 that 'fell off a Sharing truck' are the 2 big ideas i have)
