Name: Mellory Grennich
Age: 23
Physical Description:

Role: General Store Owner
Personality: Reserved for the most part. Mellory is usually reading a book, or drawing. She often paints at an easel she has set up behind her register desk in the store. She can be nasty with her words, and likes to argue. She is also very quick to judge, and will often kick people out of the store. As hers is the only store for quite some distance, people always end up returning.

She can be rude, argumentative and often won't say a word to people on some days but Mellory is a nice, cheerful girl once she makes friends with someone. She has a tendency to offer to do piercings or tattoos for people, in a makeshift studio behind the shop.

Biography: Mellory grew up in Ashenport and when she turned 18, she inherited the town's General Store. Her Father passed away when Mellory was 8 years old from cancer, and her Mother died the week of Mellory's 18th birthday; she had been swept away by flood waters during a bad rainy season.

Mellory's most prized possession is her 1958 Ford F100. The car is a bright baby blue; at least it had been. Mellory exchanged tattoo work for the rusty, old car when she was 17. The car has a heavy layer of rust on the outside, with patches of blue peeking through. The interior of the car is rough; torn seat covers, scratched up carpeting and stains of various colours covering the seat fabric. The bonnet of the car is almost completely covered in a red layer of rust, with blue only in the centre of the hood. The hood ornament; a sitting cat. is covered in rust, with some main features snapped off. The stereo barely works, the brakes are dreadful and the power steering has long been broken but Mellory adores it.
Car in glory days:

Her cat, Felix, comes to work with Mellory and lounges around the store. Felix loves people and will wander up to people and purr while he rubbed against their legs.

Relationships: Mellory has no real friends but she does often fight and bicker pettily with townsfolk i the store. One girl, Audrey, is quite a fun person to talk to. She often improves Mellory's day, even though they mostly fight. She likes when the girl visits and thinks that maybe she could convince the girl to let Mellory tattoo her one day. Hopefully. Mellory has been invited to a number of parties by one of the women in the town, Montana. The woman was nice and extremely attractive and an absolutely doll to tattoo. Mellory has been designing a few other pieces for the woman.

A man in the town, Flint, worked as a lumberjack. Mellory only knew the man because he had to come into the store for food. Mellory liked him enough; he was fairly polite and always understood if there was a shortage of product in the store.She had begun a few paintings for him but never knew what to realy paint. She'd need some inspiration. Mlellory had never really had a fight with Flint, he never took the bait. He seemed nice s Mellory left him to his shopping.

Since a young age, around 4 or 5, Mellory has had night terrors. These terrors make cause her to make herself stay awake for as long as possible, days at a time. She has panic attacks when she begins to doze and has harmed herself a few times. The terrors have gotten worse the last few weeks, Making Mellory think of seeing a Doctor out of town.

Mellory lives in a small house near the lake with two cats and a dog;
A black and white cat called Toby,
A full black cat called Felix,
A border collie called Oliver.

Nightmare: Mellory has nightmares of people with dead pale skin, whose eyes have been gouged out of their sockets; leaving behind deep red spaces. Their hair is long and matted, with twigs and dead leaves sticking out. They wear dirty hospital gowns, with no shoes. Their hand and fingernails are long and sharp, like flaws. They walk slowly, then suddenly will appear in front of her and screech horrendously. She has no idea why they follow her, for days at a time in silence to suddenly... scream at her.
