What a kick-ass lady!
Mel is such an interesting and frankly amazing character! Her ability to focus on her life goals is impressive enough, but then you add in her assortment of skills, and you have me wanting to befriend her and learn from her! Cole is lucky to have her.
(Also, though this has little to no bearing on the story, I really appreciate that she is such a well-developed black woman, and vegan! As a black woman who's vegan, I very rarely see us depicted as such, and it's a nice change.)
