Stephen: ...I hope that clears things up, yes?

And here’s the reference and character page for the new character, Lady Melissa Foster!

Title: El Jefe (The Boss) Species: Ninetales (Shiny) Age: 25 Personality: Sweet and coquettish yet at the same time brash, condescending and blunt. She can also be very big-headed and can tend to think highly of herself. She also tends to be very secretive of her past and has an extensive knowledge about demons. Born: She says she was born in 1966. Occupation: Lead Engineer for the Crown of the Royal Isles (Since the establishment of the crown in 2020) Spouse: Mentioned but not named. Children: None

Not much is known about Lady Melissa, even though she’s the head of all the engineers that work under Queen Katherine. When she does let a bit of her backstory slip out, the information constantly conflicts or what she reveals is extremely cryptic. A notable example is her age, where she claims she was born in the year 1966 when the year is currently 2048. This would mean that she is 82 years old, but she always claims she is 25.

She is very secretive about her backstory as well as her personal life but she is more likely to unveil more about her personal life rather than her backstory when asked.

When it comes to her primary job, she takes her work very seriously and can tend to be very upset if things aren’t done right or if her old dirt is exposed from Fernando’s rule. To accompany her vast knowledge of machinery, she also seems to have an immense amount of physical strength for someone of her stature, which many take note of.

Many men lust after Melissa since she has “un cuerpo construido por pecado” (“a body built for sin”) but some men even recall meeting or having personally known a prostitute named Roxanne, who looked very similar to Melissa in appearance and had mysteriously disappeared one evening in the year 2019 - in the midst of the Cryptic War. Roxanne was presumed dead by the police at the young age of 25, but many theories surround her disappearance. Many men theorize that Lady Melissa had involvement in the disappearance of Roxanne, but she often denies even knowing her and acts strange when asked about her.

Whether she had involvement in the prostitute’s mysterious disappearance or not, she seems to share her formally flirtatious personality, oddly enough. She tends to call strangers “Sugar” or “Sweetie” (in a more flirty way than in a more grandmotherly way) and while many men swoon over her, she does claim to have a husband. Not much is known about him aside from the fact that he works as a bartender for her “other job” and that she met him a long time ago and had only recently reunited and married, claiming she had lived in Hayañil for much longer than he did.

Jasper:He brought a paw up to knock,his reddish eyes scanning around.He was fearful,seeing how some hid when they saw him or froze.He shook it off,but those factors made him frightened."Umm,hello?"He called,his gruff voice echoing.Was the door gonna open?Or was something horrid about to happen...?

Cecilia: Project Lazarus? What’s-

Adrián: How is this even possible? We locked ARCHIE away long after Fernando abandoned the whole Project Lazarus disaster… If she sees that someone else may have imitated it that means that someone knows about Archie. 

Cristiano: …and if someone knows about Archie someone knows about Project Lazarus. And if someone knows about Project Lazarus, Lady Melissa’s going to-

Christiano: Lady Foster, ma'am! You’re here for a visit to the castle I presume! Ma'am, I can explain-

Melissa: Quit your chin-wagging. Both of you.

Melissa: And I don’t need you gum-flapping dumbasses distracting me from my work.
