Melisande Alice Smith (28) is Virginia’s friend and Snegurka’s girlfriend. She believes in the phrase “love is blind” though she’s insistent to anyone who falsely thinks her sister has an eye problem – it’s just an obsession with coloured contacts! Melisande’s firm on the idea of having some (vocal) contact before the blind date she had. It makes her less nervous and if she decided she didn’t want to go forward, she could say it on the phone rather than face-to-face. She gets very socially awkward, which is why she doesn’t like to admit she dislikes her job in customer service at the local fair. She only stays because she insists “no one else should have to suffer through this”. She’d rather operate the rides or help with the performers. Ironically her sister Lizzie Belle was a performer the previous year, even if it wasn’t planned. Melisande was sad she didn’t get to watch it, since she was on shift and Lizzie Belle’s performance selection was last-minute. But she knows her sister made a lot of people happy, even if Melisande still insists she’s Lizzie Belle’s biggest supporter. Lizzie Belle knows she didn’t really perform in front of millions, but Melisande will let her enjoy the moment all she wants. After all, Melisande’s customer service job at the fair feels like millions nag at her.
Melisande and Lizzie Belle are being more low-key for Canada Day. They’re both spending the day with their dates but also making it chill and low-key. So no chance anyone’s gonna randomly have a baby named Céline Dion Canada Smith. This is the first Canada Day that Melisande doesn’t have to work at the fair, so she’s stoked for a break, especially since the fair gets crowded that day. Melisande grew up as a camper for a week at Camp Kikinaw which she has many fond memories of. But honestly can’t imagine working the entire summer there and needs days to do other stuff, so she hasn’t decided to counsel there. She’s happy for other campers going, like Lark and Merritt Porter, and Melisande gets along with the staff too. Melisande still likes the camp songs and crafts, and she and Snegurka have made each other some camp-inspired friendship bracelets. She and Snegurka are both casual but click so well in dating, in a way where they can be serious without insisting they are or going too fast in their relationship. Melisande doesn’t care about Tim and nothing about him will change her, though she feels bad for anyone who’s felt pushed away by him. Melisande isn’t as hyper as her sister and is more relaxed, but their differences complement in a positive way on each other’s lives. Likewise she feels this way with Virginia and supports her too.
Happy Canada Day to the Canadians!
