Mela

A member of Caccini's "Hellhounds." Mela is a deceptively cute looking young girl who is also an expert sniper of the group. She's madly in love with Ricardo, to the point of obsessively following him around or stalking him through the scope of her rifle. Ricardo is therefore always afraid whether he'll get accidentally shot. She's also very possessive of him and, to Ricardo's chagrin, clings to him whenever she can and threatens to shoot anyone who dares to approach, hurt or insult "her Ricardo." She's one of the reasons why Ricardo doesn't trust women, the other reason being his sister, Laura. 'Mela' means 'apple' in Italian.
