Melissa Finely (Japanese: メリッサ細かく Melissa Finely) is the first main character of the comic series Pokémon: Peridot, and the text-based role-playing game of the same name. Her first Pokémon in both story arcs was a Chikorita . Melissa is happy, bubbly and upbeat. She is an optimist and often tries to find light in whatever situation. She is very self-confident, which is often misinterpreted as being arrogant. She is also incredibly strong willed, rarely giving up on something once her mind is set on it.

Born into a wealthy family within the luxurious Goldenrod City, Melissa was raised as the “ideal lady”, learned in proper etiquette, elocution and poise. Her father worked as a producer at the famous Johto Radio Tower, and her mother owned a florist within the Goldenrod Department Store. Melissa was brought up as a ballet dancer and unlike most children; she did not like Pokémon – specifically Pokémon Battles. She believed they were crude and lacked finesse. So, she spent every waking second perfecting her dances. By the time she was 13, she was dancing at a professional level with a golden future set out for her.

However, her entire career path changed the day she witnessed a newcomer to the city battle against the Goldenrod Gym Leader, Whitney. The dazzling display intrigued her greatly, and she was absolutely fascinated. Upon the trainer’s defeat at the hand of Whitney’s Miltank, Melissa commented that Pokémon Battles took just as much care and dedication as dancing. In order to discover more about herself and the world of Pokémon, she decided to leave her dancing on hold, and become a Pokémon Trainer by asking her father for a Pokémon.

The comic follows Melissa’s journey through the vast world of Pokémon. It begins as she recalls the start of her journey and takes the reader through her experiences; from her beginnings in Goldenrod City, to the Silver Conference tournament, and beyond to other regions. Melissa makes many friends and many enemies on her journey – but always manages to continue! Nothing will stop her from reaching her goal to discover the link between humans, Pokémon and the world.

The comic is currently in development, but there are many volumes planned.


Volume 1: So It All Began Here... (In Development)

This volume kicks off the series, including Melissa's initial decision to become a Pokémon trainer, and her acquisition of Chikorita. The excitement of her adventure is cut short however, after she meets a young girl named Rosemary Cullen, who's appearance brings the wrath of the infamous Team Rocket down upon them.
