Melissa is currently an Illustration major attending the MInneapolis College of Art and Design. If she could have a minor in Comics, she would. Melissa was born in the mighty city of San Francisco, California, to two very loving parents. She comes from a military family and has decided to take the black sheep path by becoming an artist. She has lived for three years in Okinawa, Japan, and would really love to go again. Melissa enjoys games (mostly RPG), music (all kinds), Japanese culture and cute Japanese things, non-exotic all-American food, and other stuff.
