An eighty-year-old Earthborn missionary of the Church of Humanity Ascendant, Melissa is taller and heavier than her tiny husband, though they share the same cloud of thinning white hair. Her bright blue eyes nearly vanish when she smiles, giving her an open, kindly warmth. She is among the people Holden hopes to save on Ganymede, but when the protomolecule crisis reaches them, Melissa is already dead.
Description
Melissa is an eighty-year-old woman with a heavier, taller frame than her tiny husband. Her thinning white hair forms a shapeless cloud around her head, while bright blue eyes nearly disappear in her face when she smiles. She has an open, kindly expression and the grounded presence of an Earthborn missionary; the text does not specify her clothing or skin tone.
