Melanie is the older sister of Clover Paul. Melanie and Clover lost their mother, leading to Melanie leaving Clover and their home behind to explore the world on her own. Melanie’s disappearance prompts Clover and her friends to embark on a journey to understand what happened to her. Clover and her friends drive to the last location Melanie was seen, a gas station she recorded herself in front of. After Clover enters the gas station and meets the mysterious gas attendant, later revealed to be Dr. Hill, she shows him a picture of Melanie and asks if he’s seen her, prompting him to answer that she has gone missing, which spooks Clover. He mentions a lot of people go missing in Glore Valley, and says that’s where she most likely went. Upon arriving in Glore Valley, they explore an abandoned visitor’s center, where they encounter supernatural events during a gruesome death loop.

During the group’s fourth night, Clover runs into the woods and is shocked to find Melanie, who now has been transformed into a Wendigo. It is revealed Melanie fell victim to the same death loop - an experiment conducted by psychologist Dr. Hill - a year prior, and this transformation is the result of her being consumed by the death loop after 13 nights. Melanie, now in this monstrous form, becomes a threat to the group.

By this point, Melanie has already failed to beat the death loop and has become a permanent part of it as a Wendigo, leaving Clover shocked and devastated.
