GRADUATE, 22, MOTHERLY, SARCASTIC, INTERESTING, MIRANDA KERR, HARTFORD
MEL AND KARA: Kara Hale, 48, house wife. Mel and her daughter have always had a healthy relationship. Melanie is respectful of her parents, and is basically the daughter that everyone wants. She always kept her room neat, helped around the house, didn’t pick fights with her younger sister, and worked hard in school. Kara and Mel talk about everything, from boys to mean girls to annoyances at work. The two are almost sisterly. Melanie was a cheerleader in middle school, high school, and college, just like Kara. The two bonded majorly over that. They shared many interests, such as shopping, volunteering at animal shelters, and looking after Melanie’s younger sister, Mackenzie.
MEL AND CAMERON: Cameron Hale, 52, surgeon. Cameron has a hard exterior, but is a caring guy. He and Kara were high school sweethearts, and got married right after college. Melanie and her father always had a fairly close relationship, but were never extremely close. As a surgeon, he works long hours and misses a lot of family dinners. But, that’s what happens when you work saving lives all day. Melanie is extremely girly, so she usually shied away from going fishing with her father. Surgery makes her queasy, so they never really talked about his work. But, the two of them don’t have a bad relationship by any means.
MEL AND MACKENZIE: Mackenzie Hale, 19, teen mother. Mel and Mac had a strange relationship growing up. Melanie was always protective of her little sister; always. Mac is irresponsible, flighty, and borderline ditzy. She doesn’t take anything seriously, and never thinks about consequences. That’s how she ended up with Stryker Alexander Hale. Mac got pregnant when she was seventeen, and had him when she was eighteen. Now, Stryker is fourteen months old, and Mel is usually the one taking care of her nephew. Mackenzie is in college for fashion merchandising, and has no interest in raising her son. Kara and Cameron live just a few hours away from the girls, but still too far away to babysit on a regular basis. So, Mel usually has Stryker with her. Not that Melanie minds; she’s always been maternal, and she absolutely adores her nephew. But, she just wishes her little sister would grow up and take some responsibility.
MELANIE ANNABETH HALE: Melanie majored in early childhood development, and is currently working as a kindergarten teacher. She loves it more than she possibly thought possible. The kids in her class were precious and so full of potential. The job was really more than she could ask for. Mel loves children, and hopes to have kids of her own someday. But, that would require a husband. For now, she just has Stryker and her kids at school. Melanie is motherly and loving to nearly everyone she meets. If you need someone in your corner, need help with anything, she’s someone you want as your friend. But at the same time, she has a spunky personality. Mel can stick up for herself when the time calls for it, and will stick up for the ones she loves. She’s always been that way. Mel is intelligent and sarcastic, and has a quick wit and sharp sense of humor.
Melanie grew up in Hartford, and her family was average. She had a mom and a dad; the Hale’s were fairly wealthy, and happy. When Mackenzie was born, Mel was excited to be a big sister, even though she was only three at the time. The way Mel saw it, she had a new baby to play with. As they got older, Mel became increasingly protective of her little sister. It was easy to tell from the start that Mac was going to be a free spirit. Mel was well liked in school, and left a bit of a legacy. She was cheer captain and student council president, and although Mac wouldn’t ever admit it, she was a little jealous of her older sister. Mac was usually in trouble with their parents, whether it was because she’d stayed out past curfew or got mouthy at dinner. Either way, Mel was the favorite child (although her parents tried to be fair all the time.)
When Mac got pregnant, it wasn’t really a surprise to anyone. Still, it sucked. She’d hooked up with a guy while the Hale’s were on vacation in Florida, and Mac had no idea how to get in touch with him once she found out. So, there was no father in the picture. That meant she needed even more help. Kara and Cameron weren’t happy, not in the slightest, but they weren’t going to abandon their daughter in her time of need. They helped support her until she graduated high school, and helping pay for her college education, and bought her an apartment. Between that and Mel basically raising Stryker, Mac still doesn’t have many responsibilities.
Mel currently lives on her own, but is looking for a roommate. Being a kindergarten teacher doesn’t pay much, and her parents are a little wrapped up supporting Mackenzie. Not that Mel would take their money anyway. She was an adult, and she was going to act like one. Mel has a lot of pride, and likes to do things for herself. She is perky and optimistic, and it takes a lot to get her overly upset. Really, her younger sister is one of the only people that can push her buttons.
NO!
