Melissa

As an illegitimate child of a noble, Melissa grew up in the Lumina City, capital of the Moniyan Empire, where she runs a small tailor shop and down with black magic, she uses cursed needles to fight solving problems for her clients in unique ways. 512px|center There used to be an inconspicuous little tailor shop on the busy streets of the Lumina City, capital of the Moniyan Empire. Its owner was an elegant woman always with a weary smile on her face, who had a clever, quirky daughter named Melissa. They lived a hard life, but Melissa always wore a clean, pretty dress and shoes, the worn-out parts carefully patched up in adorable patterns. She was naughty, but she was also thoughtful and sensible. When she was in the shop, she'd help her mother with the needlework and put aside the shredded cloths. When she was old enough and already had enough worldly experience, she never asked again about where her dad was. Melissa always wished for a beautiful rag doll, but she never once mentioned it to her mother, because she knew that her mother couldn't even afford to go to the doctor's despite her illness.

Giving up the connection to the noble family, she eloped with her father for love, which abandoned her and left her an illegitimate daughter. Later on, even though her father tried to make up for abandoning Melissa, he couldn't give her all the rights entitled to a legitimate child. When Melissa was introduced to her half-sister, a cultured and graceful young lady, she became filled with hatred toward Melissa. She thought Melissa had barged into her family, so she always bullied Melissa when their father wasn't home, and Melissa pretended not to care but remembered it all. Every night, only the rug doll would accompany Melissa in her sleep, which gave her a feeling that her mother was still there with her inside the doll, so when she felt the urge to cry, she
