Background - Melpomene is the daughter of Zeus and Mnemosyne. She's the muse of singing and oddly enough tragedy, which she's better know for.
General Personality - Melpomene is a pretty loud and crazy girl, she likes to be the center of attention and usually gets to be thanks to her antics. She wears rather odd clothing, opting for shorts that look like panties or catsuits in odd prints, and her makeup usually matches. She's been known to wear jewelry as makeup and has more than once been seen walking around with her lips covered in diamonds. Melpomene is fascinated by the human condition and finds their strength to continue on living for those fleeting moments of happiness in one long tunnel of pain to be something worth watching, she respects them for it. Because she knows the pain that's coming and that none of them can stop it. She likes to inspire people to sing and has been known to more than once cause entire towns to lapse into musical extravaganza, both to amuse herself and to let the people in the towns find some peace with their secrets and heavy hearts. Although she is happy and jumpy, she is extremely tough and will get into fights with people when they get in her face. Her family of god's blame her 'scrappy ghetto rat' attitude on long term exposer to humans, and perhaps they were right. But in Melpomene's mind she'd take the scrappy humans over the pomp of Mount Olympus any day.

Powers -Teleportation, immortality, the ability to inspire mortals to the point of song, the ability to call forth music from the ether, as well as the ability to sense coming tragedy, to lessen or increase depression/sadness/etc, increased power, hearing, sight, etc.
