Melissa is a heavy goods engine who lives at Kahlville Junction.
Personality[]
An engine formally owned by the Sudden Pacific Railroad, Melissa raced against T.J. many years ago for a contract with the Slate Franchise. Despite the rivalry of the drivers (and Melissa being wrecked in the process), the two get along alot better nowadays then you would imagine! The two hold a friendly rivalry, often racing whenever teamed up with freight work around the railway! She's the more impulsive of the two, however, and her headstrong nature can sometimes lead to trouble!

Official Description[]
Deviantart Promo[]
[1]Originally owned by a nasty sailor, then sold to the Crotoonian Railways after being left in disrepair, Melissa is proud of her new life and new livery on the Railways of Crotoonia. Often handling heavier trains from Celgreb Harbour that can't go on the Seaside Branch or the Branch Line that Thomas runs, Melissa enjoys a good competition every now and then, from races to tugs of war. She's very kind, but can get a little too competitive at times, and can be a bit of a sore loser at times. But her heart is in the right place, and she'll always be ready to help out with any job on the railways, big or small.
