Melanie Dewinter was a Hooblot who lived on Level 4 on Tera Con Prime with her husband David Dewinter and her two kids.
History[]
Melanie died three years before the series.
When first seen in "Chapter 2", her dead body had been confiscated by Clarence, who gave the skin to Gary Goodspeed so he could disguise himself while on Terra Con Prime. This lead to an awkward situation when a computer mistook Gary for the real Melanie, and send her to her house. Melanie's husband David and children were overjoyed to see her alive and well, until her son accidentally ripped the skin apart and exposed the truth. Gary was then ejected from the house by David.
Melanie's death is shown in detail in "The Remembered", when the crew of the Crimson Light was sent back in time by a Temporal Worm. The Team Squad encountered her in the Lord Commander's Treasure House, where she was working. She died of a heart attack when she ran into Gary, wearing the skin of her deceased father as a disguise. This lead to a similar situation as in "Chapter 2" where Melanie was first overjoyed to see her father alive again, only to find out it was just Gary wearing his skin. After she died, her body was dropped into a dumpster by Clarence so his past self could find it.
