"It totally works."

- Melissa Melissa is a student at Springfield Elementary School.

Biography
In the changing room of Wee Monsieur, Melissa was seen attempting to shoplift a pair of socks. In the stall, she had taken off her own shoes and put on the new socks. The security guards noticed this on the security camera, and hurried out of the room carrying rifles. This incident leads us to believe Melissa has somewhat of a trouble making personality.

Behind the Laughter
Melissa is a background character, and has only had one speaking role: in "Milhouse Doesn't Live Here Anymore", where Milhouse insults Mrs. Krabappel on the bus (she was voiced by Nancy Cartwright).

She is mostly seen in Mrs. Krabappel's fourth grade class, although she has been seen in Mrs. Hoover's second grade class in some episodes (usually episodes that center around Lisa).

She is friends with most kids at school including Lisa and Bart. In the episode "The Daughter Also Rises" Melissa was seen with Lewis at the Le Petite Appetit. It can be assumed that the two were dating during the episode.

Description
Most of the time Melissa wears a white shirt, a pink jumper over her shirt, and pink shoes. She has blonde braided hair, which are in pigtails. She has pink hairties, which keeps her hair in pigtails. She has been seen wearing a pink maillot in the episode "Bart of Darkness". Her maillot has a light pink stripe on it while the rest of it has a darker pink (fuschia).
