GK US Classic 2021 Roster
As usual, I organized the Classics roster by session (junior/senior I/senior II) because I find it easier to navigate than USAG’s method of listing everyone by home state. Juniors will be streaming on Flo, the first senior session will be streaming on Peacock (hopefully someone will take one for the team and share their stream for those like they did with American Classic), and then the second senior session will air on NBCSN.

Name: Melody Duffy
Birthday: May 10th (26)
Species: Human (Medium)
Lookalike: Lucy Hale
Availability: Taken
Personality
The best way to describe Melody is a chaotic mess. She can be focused when it comes to her job for the most part but other than that, she is a total scatterbrain. She likes to be organised but she ends up reorganising everything a couple of days later. She is scarred beyond belief and doesn’t know how to stop it. The things she has seen are unbelievable so se rarely explains herself. She is awkward and shy when she is sober but once she has a drink in her, it’s like a whole new personality. She would be confident and do things she wouldn’t dream of doing sober. Melody is petrified of relationships. She is so scared of people getting too close to her and thinking she is a freak like everyone else. She finds the lines so blurred at this point that the only way she can cope is through alcohol. Her temperament is very jumpy because she is so paranoid about what could be around each corner… or perhaps who.
Past
Melody and Eva were born through a ritual using the blood moon. They took a pregnant single mother who was due around this time. They used their magic in a bid to try and make the first ever witches born from a human with no magic in their bloodline. This meant the mother had to die to complete the cut of the blood line so Melody and Eva were raised by the coven so they could study if their tricks had worked. They were raised to believe that the coven leader gave birth to them which as young children they believed. Eva showed symptoms of having magic but nothing powerful. She could light candles but nothing too amazing but it was Melody who was secretly the powerful one. There was an old lady which she called her imaginary friend called Maggie. Eva couldn’t see her and none of the coven leaders but they let this continue. It was an old lady called Maggie. When she was 10, that’s when Maggie pulled her sleeves up to show her the ritualistic marks on her arms and finally she removed the bow from around her neck to reveal how she died. After this, more ghosts from the covens past started coming to Melody. This became a breeding ground for all the deaths which allowed her to see them. Eva was the only one she could trust with this information and Eva believed her whole-heartedly. The one thing Eva learnt from this in terms of magic was a form of twin telepathy. She couldn’t do it with anyone else but Melody and that’s when she started to see the ghosts but only when she was holding hands with her twin.
One night, their real mother came to them and told them what happened when they were 12. They pair escaped from the coven during the night and had been on the run from them before this. They moved from Massachusetts to Vermont. They were taken in to care but didn’t speak to them where they came from. They were never adopted or fostered so learnt how to fend for themselves. They were kicked out when they were 18 and worked as waitresses to make ends meat. Eva tried her hardest to learn her magic but it never quite took off until one fateful night. She started to burn up which they thought was just an illness but it came on so quickly. She kept getting hotter and hotter and ended up having a heart attack in the hospital at the age of 20 on their birthday. Melody took some of Eva’s ashes and put it in to a necklace and that is her last connection to Eva. It allows Eva to follow her wherever she goes and mostly when she is called upon.
Eva was the one who helped her to embrace her skill and so she wanted to use it for good. Working and studying hard at the college of Virginia (a big move for her), she got her medical degree and became a mortician. She saw a job come up at the Mystic Falls police morgue and figured she could help with homicides that came in if she could channel the ghosts to come to her and speak to her and maybe try to give them some kind of resolution so they could be free from this world.
Present
After five years, Melody is still in the same place. She has helped the police solve many cases even if they were not resolved in a court given the supernatural element of most homicide and the cover up for these cases. It frustrates her but there is nothing she can do about it. She tends to keep herself to herself unless if she is drunk because it has always been hard to be known as that girl who deals with dead bodies every day. Occasionally she gets called to Richmond on special cases and once or twice to Washington when it is a agent being examined. Her powers work by being close to something that the deceased cherished - be it a loved one or something materialistic. Her one solace through all of this is that Eva is by her side every step of the way. When she is drunk, Melody tends to send Eva away. She doesn’t want Eva to see that side of her but Eva does know about it and lectures her to no end.
Connections
Theodore ‘Theo’ Fell
The pair of them slept together when they were drunk and a couple of times after that but when he started to ask about dating her, she awkwardly shut him down out of her fear.
Mila Torrez
Melody knows what Mila can do and vice versa. She would say Mila is the closest thing to a friend she has but even then she still doesn’t open up to her.
James Reid
She has been going to therapy with him for months but doesn’t open up to him. She doesn’t want to sound crazy so she just stalls all session and often paces around the room to avoid him.
