Melissa is a character from Species II. She was the fiancée of Patrick Ross.
History[]
Not much is known about her, but Melissa clearly loved Patrick, and he loved her. When the three astronauts returned from their mission to Mars and attended an honor party, Melissa had no knowledge that Patrick (or Anne) was infected by alien DNA picked up from Mars, or that he had a one-night stand with another woman and her sister. Much later, on the last night of the ten-day quarantine the astronauts were subjected to after their return to Earth, Melissa proceeded to have sex with Patrick after getting him away from the rest of the world by going to his country lodge/cabin, but Patrick didn't feel up to it. She tried to assure him that everything was alright, and that she would "do all the work".
The morning after, Patrick awakens to find Melissa's mutilated, bloodied, lifeless body and another hybrid child. He then attempts to commit suicide, but later regenerates due to his alien half regenerating his destroyed head.
Relationships[]
Patrick Ross[]
Patrick Ross is the fiance of Melissa. He truly loved Melissa. They had sexual intercourse after Patrick became an alien hybrid. Patrick is shocked over Melissa's death and the discovery of their hybrid son. This causes Patrick to try and commit suicide. However, his alien half regenerates his head and takes control.
Her son[]
After being impregnated by Patrick, Melissa died immediately after giving birth to their son. After Patrick regenerates his head, he hides their son in a remote shed on family property to cocoon, awaiting his rebirth as an adult.
