why: I picked Melody because she’s one of my favourite characters, and she’s such a underrated and misunderstood princess.

charrie appearance[/ul][/font][/i]
facial description/mood expressions: Melody’s face is quite striking. Her dark blue eyes always seem mysterious to other, and the colour contrasts with her so pale skin. Her lips are a pale pink in colour, blending well with her skin also. Her nose is smooth and curved.
clothing style: Although in Melody’s era, most women or girls wore dresses, she prefers to walk about in her under-wear, mainly her white slinglets and white buttoned top. The reason; easier to get around in, and most importantly, to swim. When she out of the Kingdom, she will be seen wear shin-length dresses of every colour, or long ballroom gowns when there is an event, much to her dismay.
body build: Melody is smaller than your average twelve year old, and very slender. Her fingers, toes and neck are dainty and elegant looking. She has a little muscle on her arms and legs, which are toned due to all the swimming she does.
any unique traits (optional) : Her mother’s side of the family are all mer-people, so when Melody touches water [mainly the sea], her legs transform into a tail. The tail is a red-orange colour, like the sunset above the waves.

original charrie analysis. (everything must be in your own words! please be thorough.)[/ul][/font][/i]
Melody is quite shy, and isn’t one to be loud or dramatic about things. Even though she will make friends with anybody, usually they will be the ones to say something first. She is self-conscious about her appearance, believing that she is isn’t pretty and she is stupid. She is afraid that everyone thinks of her as ‘weird’, and this drags her down even more. When she does meet people, and hopefully become friends with them, her confidence can slightly rise, as she will be seen talking and laughing with them, and also helping them feel better about there selves. Being the daughter of Ariel, she also shares her love for adventure and curiousity.
history: Born to Princess Ariel and Prince Eric, Melody grew up unaware that she was part of mer-family, due to Morgana, a sea witch, trying to kill her when she was just a baby. On the day of Melody's twelfth birthday, she had been out swimming, and found a strange, golden locket down in the sea, unbeknownst to her, it was a lost gift from her grandfather twelve years ago.
She managed to just get back in time for her much-disliked birthday celebration, and after in ended in disaster, ran to her room, and found out that the locket she had picked up earlier that day, in fact, bore her name on it. After a heated arguement with Ariel, Melody ran off to find out on her own what the locket meant. Thanks to a mini-shark called Undertow and his stingray, she found a witch called Morgana, who turned her into a mermaid. She lied to Melody about her grandfather being a thief (Melody did not know it was her grandfather at the time) and tricks her into stealing the trident.
Along the way, she meet a peguin and a walrus called Tip and Dash, who help her to find King Triton's aplace and get to the trident. Melody, hesistant, only takes it when she hears someone coming, and in the hurry, drops her locket. Ariel finds the locket, and with her old friends Scuttle and Sebastian, find Melody, just about to give the trident to Morgana. In anger [and possibly, revenge] Melody soon after gives the trident to Morgana, afterwards realising how she has been tricked.
Eventually, with Tip and Dash helping, she manages to free the trident and get it back to her grandfather, leaving Morgana encased in ice at the very bottom of the sea. Melody is then re-united back home with all of her mer-family and their people.
ambitions: Only just finding her hidden family, Melody is determined to become a mermaid permanently when she is older, and to live in Atlantica. She also wishes to become more confident and maybe learn to dance better, so at events she might be better focused.
strengths && abilities: Swimming all her life, Melody is an expert of the waters around her home, and can swim very fast, so she can get out of danger easily. She can now transform into a mermaid on contact with the sea [thanks to her Grandfather!] Being very active, she is a great runner, and good at physical things, like climbing and jumping high heights. She is a quick-thinker and has a lot of wit, and can get out of situations using them.
flaws: She is very shy and self-conscious about herself, and has trouble being social with others. Being like that, she can also be led on very easily by people who seem kind or compassionate, but later turn out to be using her. Though graceful in water, her nervousness on land makes her prone to being clumsy.
likes: Living near it, and having it in her blood, Melody adores the sea, and swims in it every day. She also loves her family and Atlantica, and loves to imagine being care-free and succesful down there. Obviously she also likes being a mermaid. Like Ariel, she also loves adventures.
dislikes: Melody loves her family and friends very much, so obviously if they are in danger, she will be angered and hurt by it. She also feels uncomfortable having attention surrounding, so dislikes formal events about her, where people will have their attention on her. Growing up with a hidden secret surrounding her, Melody hates liars, and will try to force the truth out of people if they hide something from her.
fears: Melody fears that Morgana might return to get revenge on her family. She fears that she could humiliate herself if she is with many people. She fears that she could drown if she is trapped in places with water [even though she loves the stuff!]
what makes this character unique: Even if she hasn't been in thr most well-known or liked sequel to a great movie, Melody is the only daughter of any of the Disney princesses. She is also one of the few, if not only, half-human characters in the Disney world.
RP SAMPLE: ----
Melody had been searching for some time now, searching for someone she knew in this place. The girl hated to admit it, but she was lost, no doubt about it. She didn’t even know if any of her family was around here, especially her parents. Now, Melody could handle being on her own just fine, as she’d done countless times before, but usually that had been either in a place where people she knew were close by, or she had some sort of a guidance to where she was.
This time, she had neither and it was making her feel uncomfortable.
She guessed that her mother could either be at home in their palace or out adventuring somewhere, as after the whole fiasco with Morgana, Ariel had decided to take it up, provided that she let her family know where she was going. But, wait. Melody stopped her walking at this, pausing randomly in the middle of various people. Her mom had never said anything about that, so she had to be at home. This just made the raven-haired girl feel worse.
“Okay, Melody, get a grip,” the princess consoled herself, “You’ve took care of yourself before, so what’s the problem…you’ll find someone you know soon…enough.” Finding the talk with herself wasn’t helping and, accustoming a few strange looks from passers-by, she decided it would be best to keep walking. After all, how big could this place be?
It was then the girl’s eyes fell upon a restaurant, one than looked to be quite upper-class. Her expression became pained; it had been forever since she’d eaten anything and she hadn’t realised how hungry she was until she’d seen the building. ‘I just had to see that, didn’t I?’ Melody bitterly thought, as she didn’t have any money on her, because she hadn’t planned on getting lost today.
Folding her arms, she sighed hollowly, and started to continue past the restaurant, when a male voice greeted her. Unaware at that point the boy was addressing her, she turned around with a puzzled expression, her fringe falling into her face. She smiled nervously as she saw what the boy looked like, and that he was talking to her. She knew she must look like a total idiot right now.
“Uh, hi…” she started, before adding. “You were t-talking to me, right?”
