*She is the newest member of The Smiling Dead, and the adoptive daughter of Ken the Butcher. Mel is the only human in the entirety of the Gaslight District, and is the central figure of a prophecy that foretells the end of the hedonistic lives of all who inhabit the area. Despite her desire to become a gangster like her father, Mel frequently butts heads with him due to his desire to keep her safe and her true identity hidden.

She is voiced by Allanah Fitzgerald.

Mel is a petite, curvaceous but slim young woman. While the skin on her face and neck is a greyish teal, the skin near her scrape wound appears to be a more normal beige, implying that she's either wearing face paint or that her clothes protect her skin from the chemicals that stain her face. She has bright red pupils, purple eyelids and three eyelashes on each eye, as well as small freckles on her nose. She has straight orange hair that forms two bangs on the sides of her head and is tied into a ponytail at the back. She also has black lips, as well as slightly yellowed teeth and dark pink gums.

For clothing, Mel wears tan bandages over her entire body, minus her face, neck and hands, wearing a tan-canvas bandana and bronze gauntlet gloves instead. She also wears oversized brown boots.

Like the rest of the Smiling Dead, Mel acts as a sadistic and greedy gangster who commits brutal crimes and expresses little to no remorse. She gleefully shoots up other people and even joins in the gang's little ditty as they prepare to "cement" Jack, sentencing him to an eternity in the ocean.

Likewise, she's not above sacrificing innocent lives such as that of an unborn angel, all to get searchers for the lost human off her back. Mel is also highly eccentric and much more carefree than her father would like, having told one of her friends that she was human and often scrambling about when talking about her schemes. She hopes to become a great criminal like Ken and greatly desires to become part of The Smiling Dead.

Despite this, Mel isn't a completely heartless person, seeing as she seems upset about "cementing" Jack and a bunch of her other friends, showing that she did somewhat treasure them. She also seems to be quite amicable with her uncle Mud and her "brother" Breadhead, forgiving Mud despite his frequent betrayals and giving free beer to Breadhead. Furthermore, Mel genuinely cares for her adoptive father as, while frequently misbehaving and incurring his ire, she does value her relationship with him, keeping to her pinkie promises as much as possible and even coming up with the angel heist as a way to help Ken's restaurant become more popular. Thus, while undoubtedly a bloodthirsty and remorseless criminal, Mel deeply cares for her family and does everything she does for them.

Mel expresses a great deal of frustration with being a human and how she is often sheltered by Ken because of it, which causes her to attempt to formulate a scheme to draw attention away from her being human. She also expresses a desire for Ken's approval, asking him if he was proud of her when they managed to infiltrate Paradise Lost, and was left hurt when he was preoccupied with dealing with Temperance.*
