Melissa Weatherby

Melissa Weatherby is the mayoral assistant to Charlotte Linzer-Coolidge. She is voiced by Tanja Milojevic.

Adult life
At one point, Melissa met and became engaged to a man. She pretended to be in love with him, but eventually realized that she was not. She realized that she was aromantic and asexual and vowed to stop lying for other people's sake.

Working for Red Line
Melissa voted no on the Red Line referendum, but she was impressed by the work that Charlotte did to improve the city. She applied to be Charlotte's assistant, at one point meeting with her wife, Gemma Linzer-Coolidge. Melissa promised Gemma that she would protect Charlotte, but warned her that she wouldn't fully be able to do so. She kept a detailed spreadsheet of what reporters wrote about Charlotte, and granted Chuck Octagon an interview because he never personally attacked her.

Melissa and Charlotte grew closer as they worked together. Charlotte eventually admitted to Melissa that she was struggling to keep Red Line under control. Melissa reassured her and told her that people were rooting for her, and also that Charlotte should stop pretending.

Melissa was instrumental in planning Chuck's Red Line wedding. When Chuck accused Charlotte of blackmailing him into holding his wedding in Red Line, she immediately assumed Gemma had done the blackmailing. She met with Gemma, who denied the accusations but admitted that she and Louisa Alvarez had broken into Emily Bespin's rail car. Melissa told Gemma that she had to tell Charlotte, because it was her duty to protect Charlotte. Gemma agreed.

At Chuck's wedding, Melissa continued with her organizational responsibilities. When The Lottery attacked, she tried to close the canopy for the train. She was a witness for the whole disaster.

Melissa was upset when Charlotte announced that she would be withdrawing from the mayoral race without warning. Nonetheless, she continued working for Charlotte. She was the only one of her housemates who refused to participate in the protests to free Isaiah Powell, but began rethinking that in order to show that Charlotte's campaign was throwing their support behind Isabelle Powell.
