Personality
Confident and self-assured, Melissa is smart, if sometimes a little scattered. She was the first person brave enough to befriend Milo and is fiercely loyal and supportive of him. She's calm and controlled and loves when Murphy's Law shakes things up. She says that a tremendous portion of her self-esteem depends on her school grades ("Sunny Side Up"). She has a tendency to lose her personal belongings, such as her student discount card ("The Undergrounders") or her math book ("The Math Book"). She seems to enjoy betting on the results of Murphy's Law, which she often wins. In "Going the Extra Milo", she bet Bradley and everyone who was interested Milo and Zack would reach school on time, getting their lunches for them and in "Worked Day", she bet Zack that Milo and his father being in the same place would increase the danger, winning a dollar from him.
