She's a control freak, she likes being in control of whatever she's involved in, be it group events or projects, her "friends", her maids or really anything else she could get away with.
Having so little say or control over her life, crushed under the strict teachings of her mother since she was born has brought about this obsession in her mind that she simply had to be at the top so that nobody could tell her what to do.

Biography
Born in the city of Mardus, in the country of Mardania, Melina knew only wealth and privilege.
She and her older step-sister, Dianna, were raised by their mother and father, or rather, the nursemaids that worked for them.
The nursemaids raised them out of infancy with a caring hand, and as soon as they were able, their mother took an active role in teaching them both the ways of the courtly gentlewoman.
Both girls had a rebellious streak. As soon as Dianna came of age she decided that she didn't want to become a lady, so instead she went to join the Knight Paladins of Mardus, attending the School of Oaths.
Melina stayed, however, and continued her education.
When she was old enough she was sent to attend the most prestigious university in Mardus, the School of Script. A massive university dedicated to learning of all sorts, especially magic but including classes in many other fields. Many noble families sent their children here to learn how to become successors to the family head, or proper wives to powerful lords, or even statecraft and politics.
Now she attends this impressive university in the biggest city Arethil has ever seen. What will happen is anyone's guess, but as the daughter of a Duke, there are high expectations on her shoulders.
