Monster High Jackson

Melody Carver is a character exclusive to the Monster High book series by Lisi Harrison. She does not appear in any webisodes, or even on the Monster High website. Melody is a Siren, a bird-like sea nymph with an incredibly hypnotic voice. She starts growing/shedding feathers in the third book, which they all seem to come from her hair.

Personality

Initially, Melody was a bit frumpy and awkward, but also very kind and sweet. This stems from her being made fun of because of her old nose and asthma problems, which put an inferiority complex on her. She was very accepting of Jackson when she found out he was a RAD, almost to the point of just not caring. When she herself found out she was a RAD, she was pretty much happy about it, probably due to the fact that she figured out she had found a place of belonging.

However, after tasting the freedom and specialty that comes with being a RAD, Melody completely shed her bland nature, and found herself doing things the old Melody never would, such as joining a band. This behavior also came with a new attitude, an almost antagonistic one as Melody started acting like people owe her, as well as her power for personal gain after she promised herself she wouldn't.

Melody is also fiery, feisty, quick-witted, very intelligent and crafty (when needed), and very much capable of defending herself and her friends.

Though her style was frumpy at first, by the fourth book, she starting wearing glam rocker chic, such as bustiers, denim vests, leopard print mini-skirts, shiny shirts and skirts, high-heeled boots and booties, fedoras and bangles. Her trademark style, however, is her feathers, which she wears for extensions, earrings and other accesories.
