Melanie “Mel/Melly” Vlahovic — MEL-uh-nee / MEL / MEL-ee VLAH-ho-vitch

Melanie Vlahovic, affectionately called Melly, sometimes Melania, or “little fledgling” by her father, is a young vampire raised by Ivanya and Luka. Quietly intense yet deeply curious, Melly longs to experience the human world the way other people her age do — carefree, connected, alive.

But life near humans isn’t easy. Her thirst is strong and difficult to manage, making every interaction a delicate balancing act between desire and restraint. Melly is no stranger to isolation, and despite her parents’ care, she often feels like she exists just outside of the life she truly wants.

She forms a deep, genuine bond with Owen, one of the first humans who treats her like a person, not a threat. Their connection gives her a fragile sense of hope and belonging, even as she struggles to keep her darker instincts in check.

This role calls for emotional nuance. A voice that can shift between control and desperation, longing and strength, with subtle vulnerability beneath a quiet exterior.
