detailed personality:
CARE FREE. mel is more of a 'worry about it later' kind of person. if she wants to do something, then she'll do it, and worry about the consequences later. mel has gone through most of her life with an "act first think later" attitude. some of the time it's worked for her, but most of the time it's leaves her in a hole that she has to dig herself out of. luckily, she's done it so many times that she's got pretty good at talking herself out of things.
HOPELESS ROMANTIC. call it naivety, but mel dreams of finding mr right and falling in love and living happily ever after. has she found him yet? maybe. she thinks she's in love, but she can't be sure because she's never been in love before. she tells her boyfriend everything though, even things she isn't supposed to tell him.
PROTECTIVE. mel loves her friends and family, and has no problem standing up for them. she can be fiercely loyal, especially to her family and close friends. she has no trouble backing you up if you need it, and since her bark is just as bad as her bite (if not worse), she's a good person to have on your side.
FOCUSED. once she sets her mind to it, mel tries not to let anything distract her from her goal. if she wants something, then she's going to try and get it no matter what. she isn't one to get easily distracted and so nine times out of ten, when she says that she'll do something, the chances are that she's going to do it. however being focused can work both ways. sometimes mel can be too focused on things, meaning that she shuts himself away from the outside world... friends, family and and other people included. she pushes plans back so that she can finish what she's started, sometimes more than once. she's lost friends because of it in the past.

detailed history:
melinda cassidy is the oldest daughter of silvia and george... by about two of three minutes, but she tends to leave that fact out when she's telling people about that. growing up, mel was quieter than her twin sister sutton, although she learned a lot from her sister. the two of them were extremely close, and still are.
she was ten years old when her parents got a divorce. although she was the same age as her sister, mel was less mature than sutton and didn't really understand what exactly was happening. the two of them lived with their mother, and didn't see her father very much for three years. by that time she was thirteen and had a better understanding of what had happened, only to be hit with another bombshell: her father was in fact gay. she took the news better than her sister. whereas sutton thought it was selfish, mel thought that it was simply who he was, and you couldn't change that. it didn't change her views on her father, if anything it made their relationship better, now that she could understand things better. she agreed to her sister's wishes that they kept their family life to themselves. she loved sutton and would've done pretty much anything to show that.
both sutton and mel were accepted into an arts high school. they used it as a chance to start a new life. mel focused on her singing whilst her sister continued to excel in photography. they may not have seemed close at school, but in fact they'd never been closer. she could tell that her sister wasn't as okay as she was pretending to be, so she tried her hardest to cheer her up whenever she could. she kind of made it her job to do so, and she's gotten pretty good at it over the years.
graduating high school, the next step was either to try and make it in the world of music and performing or further her education at college. mel chose the second option, and so went with her sister to elizabeth bishop academy. she watched her sister fly up the social ladder, whilst mel was not so concerned about what people were thinking. as they started their junior year, sutton was basically queen and mel was happy for her. her junior year was also when she met zayden vance, who is now her boyfriend. they hit it off pretty well and it didn't take long for them to become serious. she trusts him more than almost anyone (her sister will always top that list) and so telling him about her father seemed logical to her. little does she know that he hasn't kept it to himself.
