ROLE-PLAYING NOTES
Tragic family life and time spent as a super villain give Songbird a harder edge than many heroes. She is willing to justify her means for suitable ends at times and often keeps a distance between herself and others. Despite this, she’s at heart a compassionate
and heroic young woman, just one haunted by her past. She would like very much to find romance and a higher purpose, but misfortune and her own cynicism have made this difficult.
Melissa believes in the Thunderbolts and the team’s quest to redeem themselves. This often brings her into conflict with self-righteous heroes and less savory villains. She also has some issues with authority. While she is willing to work with S.H.I.E.L.D. and similar organizations, she doesn’t completely trust them.
