A slender girl with long blonde hair tied in a messy ponytail or bun. She has large, expressive blue eyes that reflect her shyness and innocence, with a slightly nervous but curious expression. Wears simple, practical clothing in neutral, muted tones, including a lightweight fabric jacket and worn-out jeans or comfortable pants. Her shoes are sturdy sneakers fit for running. Carries a small, worn but functional backpack or crossbody bag, with visible books or notebooks. In a post-apocalyptic setting with collapsed buildings and vegetation among debris, under a cloudy sky with occasional sunlight rays. The scene conveys a sense of caution and hope. Melanie is in a defensive posture, hiding or exploring her surroundings. Realistic art style, soft and muted colors with a hint of youthful vibrancy. Gentle lighting emphasizes her facial expression and eyes.
