Melissa Chase

Melissa is confident, good hearted, and very self-assured. She is also very smart, if sometimes a little scatterbrained. She is prone to forgetting her personal belongings, such as her student discount card ("The Undergrounders") or her math book ("The Math Book").

Melissa was the first person to befriend Milo when they were in first grade. Soon after they became best friends. She is fiercely loyal and supportive of him. Even though Milo says that he doesn't think anyone would call him "tough", she does so in front of Bradley and his friends, cheering him on from the school bus ("Going the Extra Milo").

She's calm, controlled, and loves when Murphy's Law shakes things up. She seems to enjoy betting on the results of Murphy's Law, and she often wins. She made a bet with Bradley, and everyone else who was interested, that Milo and Zack would be able to reach school on time. She won and afterwards replaced Milo's and Zack's destroyed lunches with the winnings. ("Going the Extra Milo") On another occasion, she bet Zack that Milo and his father being in the same place would increase the danger and won a dollar from him ("Worked Day").

She claims that a tremendous portion of her self-esteem depends on her school grades. She also hates egg puns ("Sunny Side Up"). She wants to become a 'Journalist/Queen of the Universe' ("Worked Day").

"Physical Appearance" Melissa is a slender girl with light skin and wavy, shoulder-length ginger hair. Her large blue eyes have visible pupils, and she's usually seen wearing a smug expression. Having accidentally caught a pop-fly to the face during a baseball game when she was young, her two front teeth are false, though they cannot be differentiated from her other teeth

She wears a white elbow-length jacket with an upturned collar over a black shirt. The pink of her skirt matches that of her hi-top sneakers, which extend nearly as high as her socks.

When swimming she wears a black one-piece swimsuit with two stripes across the waist, one pink and one white.

Skills Balancing: In "The Llama Incident", when Melissa was being chased by a stampede of Llamas, she wound up on top of a high wire while grasping a flag. She was able to balance for a fairly long time until Diogee herded the llamas underneath her to cushion her fall. Hacking: In "Pace Makes Waste", when Melissa and Zack need cameras to watch the race, Melissa was able to hack into different camera systems such as a nearby bank camera and a go-cart racetrack camera. Guitar skills: As a member of Just Getting Started, Melissa is a great bass guitarist and backup singer. The only other guitar player in the band is lead guitarist and lead singer Zach. Martial arts: In "Cast Party", Melissa is revealed to be taking martial arts classes, where she has proven to be a skilled fighter, having even earned the black belt. She's able to flip her huge sensei over her own shoulder, make long leaps, and throw a rolling garbage can with a person in it in air with a side kick (albeit breaking her own foot in the process).
