Melissa Horner, a wombat beastman, co-manages the Beastman Co-op alongside her husband, Gem Horner. In human form, her tan skin and shoulder-length auburn permed hair complement a practical yet polished wardrobe: a cerulean cardigan over a white blouse, a gray skirt, white socks, and slip-on shoes, with a gray notebook ever in hand. When transformed, her wombat form mirrors these details, blending brown fur, a rounded black nose, and pointed ears with her human attire and hairstyle.

Warm and attentive, Melissa swiftly extends support to Michiru Kagemori, offering shelter and orienting her to Anima City’s complexities. She balances nurturing guidance with firmness, stepping in when Gem overlooks Michiru’s needs. Though well-intentioned, her occasional absentmindedness leads to mix-ups, like confusing a basketball league invitation with a baseball outing.

Her devotion to Ginrou manifests in a home shrine and handmade protective charms gifted to allies like Michiru and Shirou Ogami before perilous missions. This spiritual reverence intertwines with her role as a community pillar, where her empathy and organizational efforts strengthen bonds within the Co-op, underscoring themes of unity and mutual aid through steadfast, collaborative action.
