Mel was adopted by a very traditional couple, but after she came out to them as transgender, they kicked her out. She chose the name Melody Craft because she had a gift for creating music. It's what kept her alive on the streets, letting her get enough money to get to Strangervile. Mel suspects her gift of music is more than natural. Could this be related to her birth parents & why they gave her up? Is there a reason she has never been to the ocean but feels a call to it? #BumpkinTheatreKid
