A child of the Guthrie family, Mel spent much of her early childhood learning to be self-sufficient. Even when her father Thomas was alive there was not much time for her as a middle child of nine siblings. Mel often went to her older siblings for help or attention instead of her parents. She had a tendency to sleepwalk and could often be found wandering the halls of the Guthrie farmhouse at night. After her father’s death this increased dramatically and a lock had to be placed on her door at night after she managed to sleepwalk out of the house and was found in the woods. M-day had little effect on her as anti-mutant sentiment was already strong in the area and she was still young when it happened. Her church insisted that mutantkind was against God and what had transpired on M-day was punishment.

Growing up she felt closest to her older brother Jay and adopted a habit for music as a way to spend time with him. She wasn’t the best student in school, but had a talent for writing in her English classes. In school she was very social and was known to always have a boy she was seeing. Mel never had a serious relationship however and preferred to just date and talk casually. After graduating high school, she chose not to attend college and instead got a job in town working retail. After Jay revealed his abilities and Paige followed suit, Mel secretly wanted mutant abilities of her own. A few weeks later her wish would be granted.

It was hard being manifested in Cumberland, but Mel didn't want to leave her family so soon after everyone else had left. She agreed to visit her siblings at the mansion for a long weekend, and had a great time meeting people and shopping. The high from her trip was short-lived as about two weeks later Mel was attacked by the Cabots at a bonfire.

This led to a gunshot filled chase through the woods where Mel barely escaped with her life.

Biography

Childhood

A child of the Guthrie family, Mel spent much of her early childhood learning to be self-sufficient.

She had a tendency to sleepwalk and could often be found wandering the halls of the Guthrie farmhouse at night. After her father’s death this increased dramatically and a lock had to be placed on her door at night after she managed to sleepwalk out of the house and was found in the woods. M-day had little effect on her as anti-mutant sentiment was already strong in the area and she was still young when it happened. Her church insisted that mutantkind was against God and what had transpired on M-day was punishment.

After graduating high school, she chose not to attend college and instead got a job in town working retail.
