Born in a wealthy and distinguished family, Melissa was usually arrogant and domineering. However, she was crazy about Matthew, and Veronica, who was on friendly terms with him, could help her date him, so she liked Veronica very much as well. Despite her domineering disposition, beneath that flamboyant exterior, she was a kind-hearted person.
