*Melanie Staples is the daughter of Dr. Ned Staples.

She seemed very friendly. She appeared to have an interest in Fred Jones, but this was probably an act to gain his trust.

Inwardly, she was self-absorbed, unstable, and bent on revenge. She did not seem to care about hurting innocent bystanders. She was resentful of her father for putting his research first, that led to him ignoring and neglecting her.*
