  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Name: Melanie Taylor Benson
Being: everyday non-magic human
Gender: female
Height: 5/5
Hair: dark brown
Eyes: dark blue

Background:
Melanie was the biological daughter of Jake, a decent man and Drusilla, an evil abusive mage who had him killed. So Mel's life started out very messed up. She learned to obey Drusilla's wishes at a young age, and this eventually lead to Melanie being an accomplice for committing child abuse against Ameh, an orphaned fairy the mage took in for purely self-serving purposes..

Unknown to the mage or the little fairy, Melanie eventually became tormented by her own conscience and fear of her own mother, so had called child services.

Both Melanie and Ameh were removed from Drusilla's home, but not before a lot of damage had already been done to both girls, impacting them quite differently.

While Ameh learned not to trust and let anyone close to her, Melanie was haunted by guilt and fear because of the things she witnessed and participated in with Drusilla.

Eventually, Melanie got the chance to confront Drusilla, and publically apologize to Ameh, but neither one made it easy on her.

Since then, she has done her best to live a very decent life. She hasn't married and is not ready to have children of her own. That prospect would scare her to death. Even if she had a child and was loving to it, Melanie would still doubt she was a good mother.
