Melissa is reprising an earlier version of her Newport role, aka a woman who got Empowered several hundred years ago and wound up with immortality, leaving her on the run since then in order to avoid being accused of witchcraft or otherwise captured for analysis.

She wouldn't be a part of White Company/Manticore or the criminal unit, so... I'm wondering if she can be a guide or something hired out of desperation? I will check on that. But she's here, paranoid as hell, and ready to rock.
