“Sure, growing up sucks, but you can make it suck less. Just think of it as the next big adventure! One full of paperwork and scary body changes!”
Next on the Inheritance AU drawing list: Melody! Admittedly she looks basically the same as she did in the show since she was already an adult, so I just tapped into my inner fashion designer. I always felt like she was really underrated, so she plays a much bigger role in the AU.
Some headcanons and AU-relevant deets:
Her full name is Melody Ramírez-Camassia Quamash (the latter part comes from a type of herb native to the pacific northwest).
Her mother, Coral, has traced their family’s lineage back to the Native tribes that lived in the Gravity Falls Valley before they departed northeast in 1200 AD (Mel doesn’t know it yet, but she’s a distant descendant of Modoc the Wise).
She and Soos still got together in the AU, as her name would suggest, but it was a bit more slow-going than in canon; by the time the main story takes place in 2022, they’ve only been married for two years.
She seems to have become more eager for ‘adventure’ with age, hence her jumping at the chance to help the Mystery Twins (and Wendy) with their investigations, in contrast with Soos who’s become more cool-headed and patient.
Bill Cipher calls her ‘Treble Clef’, mostly because of her earrings and it felt clever to him at the time (I headcanon that Bill nicknames everyone like this, not just members of the Zodiac, because he doesn’t respect humans enough to use their actual names). (Also @bluepinetree came up with that :P)
