Melissa Shield

Melissa Shield (メリッサ・シールド) is a Quirkless girl and the daughter of the scientist David Shield. She appears in My Hero Academia: Two Heroes.

Appearance
Melissa is a full-figured young woman of slightly above average height, with pale skin and quite a round face. She has wavy blonde hair which reaches halfway down her back, two shorter pieces she leaves over her shoulders, side-swept bangs, and face framing. She has sky-blue eyes with notable upper eyelashes, some slightly longer ones extending on each side, and pronounced lower eyelashes.

She normally wears a white short-sleeved dress shirt with plaid cuffs, an large bow of the same design at her neck, and a dark raspberry pink waistcoat. Accompanying these are pale gray capri pants, under which are a pair of plaid pink socks as well as a pair of heeled brown boots. She also wears a wristwatch and pink, oval-framed glasses.

Her formal outfit consists of a strapless dress with a sweetheart neckline. The upper half of the dress is a deep blue, while the skirt is a pale powder blue. Separating the two segments is a black cloth belt with a large white rose that sits slightly to her left, covering where the material is tied. The belt matches the black ruffles underneath her knee-length skirt. On her feet she wears white, strappy heels with an open toe. Her toenails are painted a shade of coral pink, the same as her fingernails and lips. She wears her hair up in a high ponytail, tied with a large black bow. Her bangs are swept back underneath a red headband, while her face framing is left loose. She has golden earrings which hang from her earlobes, and she doesn’t wear her glasses.

She is American.

Personality
Melissa is a kind and very intelligent girl who maintains a positive attitude despite being Quirkless. She is also not afraid to speak up for what she believes in, and is able to keep a clear head even during dangerous situations.

It also seems that she is very humble about her creations, and wants them to go to good use. She is rather generous, and even gave Izuku one of her power gauntlets to use.

In addition, she cares deeply for her father, David Shield, and wants to reunite him with his old friend All Might.

My Hero Academia: Two Heroes
While schools in Japan are on vacation, Melissa Shield sends an email to U.A. Teacher and No.1 Hero: All Might. In her message, she asks All Might to come and visit her father on I-Island for an upcoming expo. She hopes that All Might will reunite with her father and she expresses that she can't wait to see his reaction.

Melissa knows All Might because of her father, the two having been very close friends when All Might worked in America during the beginning of his hero career. As a result of this, Melissa occasionally corresponds with All Might, and is very excited to see him when he comes to visit her and her father.

Melissa becomes good friends with Izuku Midoriya when he visits I-Island with All Might. She also lets Izuku use a power gauntlet that helped him stabilize his use of One For All while he was on I-Island.

Trivia

 * Melissa refers to All Might as "Uncle Might". Which is due to the closeness that he and her father share.
 * According to Melissa, she had given up on being a hero a while ago. Instead, she wants to be like her father who saves people’s lives, but saves them indirectly.
 * Her last name Shield, may be a reference to the secret organization SHIELD of Marvel Comics.
