Biography[]
Melvin is the stereotypical geek - highly intelligent, klutzy, and totally lacking in social skills. He spends most of his spare time bug collecting, surfing the internet, studying, or annoying Serena and Molly. Melvin initially has a crush on Serena but soon turns his attentions to Molly. At one point he even impersonates Tuxedo Mask, calling himself Tuxedo Melvin, to protect Molly and prove his love for her.
Melvin is very romantic and rather articulate when he is with Molly, although Molly sometimes finds his expressions of affection highly embarrassing. Melvin is completely devoted to her and displays remarkable courage when he defends her against harm. Melvin always has the latest gossip and news about teachers and students at their school. Melvin has a particular fondness for prune milk shakes.[2]
