* HatesBeingAlone: While she hides it well, someone as extroverted as Nejire is very afraid of being alone, which is one of the main reasons Yuyu ghosting her since their argument about Izuku at the Sports Festival is something that makes her very upset with her friend. Thankfully, the main trio is around to not let her feel like this any longer.

* WholesomeCrossdresser: ''Oh yeah!'' Good lord, once Izuku dressed up on Nejire's Mirko cosplay (this one [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTJJXJO32SKbqcHTGxlneaW-uuxPAU2sV82sZuZ9Zw627q-Xz63EZ4DT0Q&s=10 here]]) during the Truth or Dare game, the girls barely hold on the urge to jump on him and make out.

* HormoneAddledTeenager: All five of them, honestly - they are all aware of their attraction for each other, and they are noted to get carried away fairly quickly, from giving each other hickeys or making out. This is especially evident in Chapter 45 during the game of truth or dare, in which Izuku, Ochako, Itsuka and Nejire get pretty into their make out and the narration implies that they're getting ready to go even further until Ochako ends up setting off a domino effect by falling off the bed.

* PoorCommunicationKills: Initially, a lot of the drama Izuku, Ochako and Itsuka faced was because they insisted on keeping their feelings for each other to themselves, causing themselves and each other a lot of grief. After they have their RelationshipUpgrade, they go out of their way to avert this, being more open and communicative so as not to cause any misunderstandings.
** After this, Izuku, Ochako and Itsuka face having this trope with Nejire - Itsuka acknowledges her own attraction to Nejire after their kiss, Ochako realizes that she needs to get to know Nejire better as well, and Izuku is at least aware that the relationship between himself and Nejire isn't entirely platonic. What they ''don't'' realize, however, is that Melissa is beginning to have feelings for them as well, and it's implied that, at least on Izuku's end, that a mutual crush may be forming as well, much to Ochako and Itsuka's concern.

* AdaptationalBadass: [[spoiler:The second FlashForward reveals that Melissa becomes a pro hero in her own right, and is indicated to be the Number One Hero of America. Not too bad for someone who's a TeamNormal in canon.]]
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Appears in canon sometime after the Final Exam arc, whereas here she is introduced before the entrance exam.
* AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul: In canon, in spite of small ShipTease with Izuku, she doesn't show too much interest, and is shown being friends with Ochako. Here, she is shown to be attracted to them both, [[spoiler:and ends up getting married to them.]]
* AffectionateNickname: 'Uncle Might' for All Might.
* AgeLift: Perhaps. It's shown that Melissa is in Class 1A while in canon she's a year older than Izuku and the rest of 1A, indicating that, like Nejire, she was aged down.
* AscendedExtra: Her role is rather small in the manga and the only prominent role she had was in ''Anime/MyHeroAcademiaTwoHeroes''. Here, she is Izuku's chief support item builder, and is going to move to Japan to begin attending UA as of Chapter 35. [[spoiler:Chapter 36 escalates this as it reveals that she's actually going to become ''one of the main characters'', as she's shown to be an active part of Team Clover and married to the Trio.]] [[spoiler:Come Chapter 37, she full on becomes a member of Class 1-A to replace Bakugo.]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Melissa's most prominent characteristic is her NiceGirl personality ... unless you destroy her support items. Upon seeing the wrecked state the Full Gauntlet was in after what happened at the USJ, Melissa hollowly states that she spent months building it for Izuku, only for him to destroy it in a week, with her facial expression making it clear that she was about five seconds from flying out to Japan to wring his neck. And upon seeing it wrecked ''again'' during Izuku's fight with Bakugou, the scene cuts to Melissa screaming at the TV as loud as she can, and her call to Izuku the night after (which gets picked up by Ochako since she had the button) has her immediately start screaming at him, only to calm down when she sees Ochako.
* BespectacledCutie: Normally wears a pair of glasses, and sometimes wears goggles for her inventions, and is quite cute.
* BirdsOfAFeather: Her and Ochako both have body issues concerning themselves, facing bullying from their classmates that don't make them feel any better about themselves. These issues allow Melissa to give Ochako genuine advice about her body in contrast to Itsuka and Himiko's attempts to make Ochako feel better about herself, and allow both Melissa and Ochako to form a much stronger friendship between each other.
* CallingTheOldManOut: [[spoiler:A more heartbreaking take than the usual, but Melissa points out that she would be one of the people hurt the most if her father went with the idea of the fake villain attack. This helps to knock some sense into him.]]
* ClingyJealousGirl: PlayedForLaughs example, but upon seeing Mei sliding up to Izuku and attempting to seduce him into becoming her test subject, Melissa becomes uncharacteristically catty and passive aggressive, and makes sure to tell Izuku that she will remember this interaction in a clear threat.
--> "I won't forget your hesitation."
* CovertPervert: She checks out Izuku's ass during the Festival, and makes notes to take a good look at it when she invites him to I-Expo, much to her embarrassment. She would later have an EroticDream about him, and feels embarrassed that she's become enamored by his looks.
* CrushBlush: Grows flustered when Ochako unintentionally thanks her genuinely for being a good friend, and quickly hangs up so that she can calm herself down and pack for her trip.
* TheDreaded: PlayedForLaughs example. She makes clear that if Izuku damages or breaks his new Full Gaunlet, she will take the first flight to Japan to hunt him down. Izuku fearfully promises not to break it.
* FantasticAbleism: She's implied to have faced this due to her status as quirkless, in addition to being bulled over being David Shield's daughter.
* FirstNameBasis: She's shown having Izuku call her 'Melissa', and both Itsuka and Ochako call her by her first name as well.
* ForWantOfANail: [[spoiler:Melissa ''is'' the nail actually. By accidentally overhearing Sam and David's plans to steal the amplifier, she manages to talk her father out of the plan that would lead to the I-Expo attack. Although, since Sam is still on the loose, the attack could still happen under different circumstances.]]
* FriendlessBackground: She mentions that none of the other students at I-Island particularly care for her, either trying to befriend her as an angle to get closer to David Shield's daughter or completely disregard her and bully her. The Kendousquad are her first friends in years, and she clearly holds them dearly, wanting to actually be at the Sports Festival in person to cheer them on.
* FutureBadass: [[spoiler:The end of Chapter 36 reveals that Melissa will become a hero by utilizing [[CoolCar Herc]][[PoweredArmor ules]] and is the fourth member of Team Clover with Izuku, Itsuka, and Ochako.]]
* GadgeteerGenius: One of the minority that doesn't have a quirk, and yet can build a support item that can easily assist Izuku in using his violent quirk. Upon her meeting the Trio in Chapter 19, she is able to teach Izuku, who has little to know knowledge in building support items, how to create a nanobot that would repair the damaged Gauntlet.
* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: She's quite pretty and as the picture above shows wears formal, neat attire, but she isn't afraid to slip into a pair of overalls and get under an engine, and definitely isn't afraid of getting a bit dirty. Her workshop is noted to have a few empty energy drinks and pizza boxes lined up against the wall.
* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: Her focal portion in Chapter 26 reveals that Melissa doesn't have any friends outside of the Kendousquad, and feels lonely that they're all in Japan while she is on I-Island, wanting to actually ''be'' at the arena to cheer them on rather than watch them through a screen.
* MoralityPet: Serves as this to her father, with Melissa asking him [[spoiler:if he didn't care what happened to her if he went to steal the quirk amplifier being one of the contributing factors to David abandoning the plan.]]
* NiceGirl: The sole reason she rebuilt the Full Gauntlet to assist Izuku, and putting her other projects on the side to build it in a short time span? It sounded like Izuku needed her help. And Ochako revealing her body issues has Melissa emphasize, and talk to her honestly about her own issues.
* ProudBeauty: An interesting version, in that she didn't ''always'' consider herself to be this. Due to bullying in the past, she used to have issues with her body, but therapy and support from multiple sources have Melissa deliberately consider herself beautiful as an effort to make herself feel better about herself. On a humorous level, she's also aware that Izuku checks out her behind from time to time, but shows more humor about it than anything.
* TheRival: A PlayedForLaughs example with Mei - Mei wants to consider her a genuine rival and steal Izuku away from her as a test subject, while Melissa treats Mei as an annoyance.
* SamusIsAGirl: [[spoiler:The FlashForward has her inside [[PowerArmor Hercules]], a masculine sounding name and appearance.]]
* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler:Melissa ends up being the reason for Sam not being able to convince David to enact the "fake villain attack" during the I-Expo. Although, that doesn't necessarily means the attack won't happen anyway.]]
* TheSmartGuy: Of the members of the squad, Melissa is a bona fide genius in the field of support items, having built Izuku's Full Gauntlet.
* TeamNormal: She is the only Quirkless member of the Kendosquad and of Class 1-A as well.
* TeenGenius: She is 17 years old, and a prodigy in Support Item development.
* TheTease: She's aware that Izuku is somewhat attracted to her and subtly teases him over it - while him walking in on her getting out of the shower embarrassed them both, Melissa later accepts his apology and pokes fun at him innocently, only getting amusement out of his flustered expressions.
* VoiceWithAnInternetConnection: How she used to communicate with Izuku over the Full Gauntlet, advising him of how to repair and use it, and likewise act as a friend from across the world. Come Chapter 37, this is averted as she shows up at UA.

[[spoiler:Chapter 36 escalates this as it reveals that she's actually going to become ''one of the main characters'', as she's shown to be an active part of Team Clover and married to the Trio.]] [[spoiler:Come Chapter 37, she full on becomes a member of Class 1-A to replace Bakugo.]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Melissa's most prominent characteristic is her NiceGirl personality ... unless you destroy her support items. Upon seeing the wrecked state the Full Gauntlet was in after what happened at the USJ, Melissa hollowly states that she spent months building it for Izuku, only for him to destroy it in a week, with her facial expression making it clear that she was about five seconds from flying out to Japan to wring his neck. And upon seeing it wrecked ''again'' during Izuku's fight with Bakugou, the scene cuts to Melissa screaming at the TV as loud as she can, and her call to Izuku the night after (which gets picked up by Ochako since she had the button) has her immediately start screaming at him, only to calm down when she sees Ochako.
* BespectacledCutie: Normally wears a pair of glasses, and sometimes wears goggles for her inventions, and is quite cute.
* BirdsOfAFeather: Her and Ochako both have body issues concerning themselves, facing bullying from their classmates that don't make them feel any better about themselves. These issues allow Melissa to give Ochako genuine advice about her body in contrast to Itsuka and Himiko's attempts to make Ochako feel better about herself, and allow both Melissa and Ochako to form a much stronger friendship between each other.
* CallingTheOldManOut: [[spoiler:A more heartbreaking take than the usual, but Melissa points out that she would be one of the people hurt the most if her father went with the idea of the fake villain attack. This helps to knock some sense into him.]]
* ClingyJealousGirl: PlayedForLaughs example, but upon seeing Mei sliding up to Izuku and attempting to seduce him into becoming her test subject, Melissa becomes uncharacteristically catty and passive aggressive, and makes sure to tell Izuku that she will remember this interaction in a clear threat.
--> "I won't forget your hesitation."
* CovertPervert: She checks out Izuku's ass during the Festival, and makes notes to take a good look at it when she invites him to I-Expo, much to her embarrassment. She would later have an EroticDream about him, and feels embarrassed that she's become enamored by his looks.
* CrushBlush: Grows flustered when Ochako unintentionally thanks her genuinely for being a good friend, and quickly hangs up so that she can calm herself down and pack for her trip.
* TheDreaded: PlayedForLaughs example. She makes clear that if Izuku damages or breaks his new Full Gaunlet, she will take the first flight to Japan to hunt him down. Izuku fearfully promises not to break it.
* FantasticAbleism: She's implied to have faced this due to her status as quirkless, in addition to being bulled over being David Shield's daughter.
* FirstNameBasis: She's shown having Izuku call her 'Melissa', and both Itsuka and Ochako call her by her first name as well.
* ForWantOfANail: [[spoiler:Melissa ''is'' the nail actually. By accidentally overhearing Sam and David's plans to steal the amplifier, she manages to talk her father out of the plan that would lead to the I-Expo attack. Although, since Sam is still on the loose, the attack could still happen under different circumstances.]]
* FriendlessBackground: She mentions that none of the other students at I-Island particularly care for her, either trying to befriend her as an angle to get closer to David Shield's daughter or completely disregard her and bully her. The Kendousquad are her first friends in years, and she clearly holds them dearly, wanting to actually be at the Sports Festival in person to cheer them on.
* FutureBadass: [[spoiler:The end of Chapter 36 reveals that Melissa will become a hero by utilizing [[CoolCar Herc]][[PoweredArmor ules]] and is the fourth member of Team Clover with Izuku, Itsuka, and Ochako.]]
* GadgeteerGenius: One of the minority that doesn't have a quirk, and yet can build a support item that can easily assist Izuku in using his violent quirk. Upon her meeting the Trio in Chapter 19, she is able to teach Izuku, who has little to know knowledge in building support items, how to create a nanobot that would repair the damaged Gauntlet.
* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: She's quite pretty and as the picture above shows wears formal, neat attire, but she isn't afraid to slip into a pair of overalls and get under an engine, and definitely isn't afraid of getting a bit dirty. Her workshop is noted to have a few empty energy drinks and pizza boxes lined up against the wall.
* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: Her focal portion in Chapter 26 reveals that Melissa doesn't have any friends outside of the Kendousquad, and feels lonely that they're all in Japan while she is on I-Island, wanting to actually ''be'' at the arena to cheer them on rather than watch them through a screen.
* MoralityPet: Serves as this to her father, with Melissa asking him [[spoiler:if he didn't care what happened to her if he went to steal the quirk amplifier being one of the contributing factors to David abandoning the plan.]]
* NiceGirl: The sole reason she rebuilt the Full Gauntlet to assist Izuku, and putting her other projects on the side to build it in a short time span? It sounded like Izuku needed her help. And Ochako revealing her body issues has Melissa emphasize, and talk to her honestly about her own issues.
* ProudBeauty: An interesting version, in that she didn't ''always'' consider herself to be this. Due to bullying in the past, she used to have issues with her body, but therapy and support from multiple sources have Melissa deliberately consider herself beautiful as an effort to make herself feel better about herself. On a humorous level, she's also aware that Izuku checks out her behind from time to time, but shows more humor about it than anything.
* TheRival: A PlayedForLaughs example with Mei - Mei wants to consider her a genuine rival and steal Izuku away from her as a test subject, while Melissa treats Mei as an annoyance.
* SamusIsAGirl: [[spoiler:The FlashForward has her inside [[PowerArmor Hercules]], a masculine sounding name and appearance.]]
* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler:Melissa ends up being the reason for Sam not being able to convince David to enact the "fake villain attack" during the I-Expo. Although, that doesn't necessarily means the attack won't happen anyway.]]
* TheSmartGuy: Of the members of the squad, Melissa is a bona fide genius in the field of support items, having built Izuku's Full Gauntlet.
* TeamNormal: She is the only Quirkless member of the Kendosquad and of Class 1-A as well.
* TeenGenius: She is 17 years old, and a prodigy in Support Item development.
* TheTease: She's aware that Izuku is somewhat attracted to her and subtly teases him over it - while him walking in on her getting out of the shower embarrassed them both, Melissa later accepts his apology and pokes fun at him innocently, only getting amusement out of his flustered expressions.
* VoiceWithAnInternetConnection: How she used to communicate with Izuku over the Full Gauntlet, advising him of how to repair and use it, and likewise act as a friend from across the world. Come Chapter 37, this is averted as she shows up at UA.
