Name: Melanie Claire Ryan
Face Claim: Emilie De Ravin
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Occupation: Owner of Fallen Ridge Farm, Equestrienne
Likes: Horses, of course. Running and biking. Spending time with the ones who know her best and can catch her before she lets herself "fall".
Dislikes: The feelings of being trapped or suffocating. One's who cling on and show no weakness of letting go. Staying put in one place for too long without a reason.
Personality: Bubbly, and fun, Mel is your typical no-sense, no-feeling gal. She'll take one for the team and likes to keep things light. But take a gander in those blues and you'll know that she likes to get down to business. Once she's in it, she's in for the long run, not just a kiss-and-run. Mel is a risk taker and sometimes gives a lot more than she gets in return.
History: Many people have known Mel for the longest time. She is a been there done that kind of girl who knows her stuff. Mel was a runaway at the age of 16, but returned home briefly when she was 18 to tell her parents that she still loved them, and always would, but it was time for her to get out. The past two years had been rough on her and she continually found herself winding up at yet another race track or horse show. Only god knows how this girl manages herself.
Helping where she could, Mel has moved around to various TB breeding farms, but has always found more than her share of trouble (or attention), upon finding this, she packed up a left, giving very sparse notice.
Stumbling upon her two first loves in a park one afternoon in KY, Mel found herself falling fast for them both. The first was a huge and handsome black Hanoverian stallion, Dark Storm they called him. This three year old horse was her cloud 9 with the silver lining, and she pulled all her savings plus so much a month in labour in order to get him. Her second love that afternoon was a young man with sweeping brown hair and deep blue eyes, Tim. Soon the trio was inseparable and with Tim's skilled guidance, Mel and Storm were finding themselves rising quickly to the top till that one fateful drive. And well most of you know the rest of the story.
In all, Mel has found her life altered, crazy and quite unorganinzed these past few years, she needs a patient hand, listening ear and a good shoulder to help her through this next while in order to sort things out.
Other: Single, and just trying to piece her crazy life back together. At times she thinks she has finally got things figured out when another piece is slid into play.
