Character Biography (TW: teen pregnancy, forced adoption)

The Sunay's were a picture perfect family, their fortune derived from a hardworking ethic that they ensured their children would not only be appreciative of, but have themselves. Her brother and her were pushed to appreciate every moment of ease in their life, and encouraged to see the beginning and end of every hardship. After all, the most important thing in the end was family. At least, that’s what Melina thought. At sixteen years old, there was a rebel side to her that awoke but only as a means of being a person outside of the unit her family loved to function under. She found independence, but also clung to her friends where she could. She was the life of the party, but she needed those close to her in order to make sure she didn’t burn out. One of those people was a boy she had started to get close to, but maybe a little too close when she was left one day, hung over a pregnancy test in her bathroom.

When she told her parents, she was met with scolding but eventually they comforted her. Little did Melina know that their solution they promised her wasn’t what she expected at all. Her bags were packed, and she was forced to leave Vancouver for nine months before her shirts stretched tightly over her stomach. The result was a little boy with eyes that mirrored hers that was plucked from her arms immediately before being put up for adoption without her consent. After that, she was in town with a secret she’d never tell.

As soon as Melina was able to get out of her parent’s clutches, she took her chances and ran. She’d lived in Gastown ever since without a single dime to help her. Despite the heavy shift from Kitsilano to the very district everyone frowned upon, she’s looking to find her place where she can bounce back from mistakes rather than hide them. She found them with a certain man, someone who swept her off her feet, despite her past luck. She saw a future with him, until he broke her heart and left her to pick up the pieces by herself. Now, Melina knows all she can rely on is herself.

“There’s no more chasing rainbows and hoping for an end to them; their arches are illusions, solid at first glance. But then you try to touch them, there’s nothing to hold on to. Their colors used to lure you in and put you in a trance."
