Mell's favourite part of autumn, possibly even the whole year, is Halloween. she herself can't entirely tell you a reason why she likes it so much. but as soon as the trees turn orange its close enough for her. she can even say her favourite colours are orange and red. a lot like the trees that time of year. she often can be seen wearing cheesy Halloween shirts around town. she has a collection of pins on her backpack many of which are black cats, bats and pumpkins. her favourite pin is definitely the witches hat. it's a small pointed hat with a green stripe on the brim and purple star outlines across the top of it.
Mell's enthusiasm for Halloween always ramps up the closer it gets to the date. once it hits October she always goes all out. her whole yard is usually filled with a graveyard, differant skeletons hung up all over the place or posed in the lawn. in the weeks before the holiday, she would visit all of the haunted houses in the area. shes gotten used to the scares, but she loves seeing everyone so festive. one year she was actually offered to become apart of a haunted house at the local fair grounds. she took it right away and became the haunted house's new vampire monster number three. it was one of her favorite years terrifying kalons that came inside. she tries to do it every year as a part-time thing, she would never miss out of going out on Halloween night of course. but for the rest of the month shes happy to spend her days scaring little kalons and their kids.
despite her age, she has never missed trick or treating once. she does it every year and the adult kalons in the neighbourhood are used to it. they dont see anything wrong with it mainly because they know her pretty well. shes a kind kalon and could never even think of hurting someone. she has a whole mapped out route by now and visits her entire community in one night. usually bringing home her backpack filled to the brim with sweets. she lives in an area with many houses back to back. a rather open gated community of houses on the outskirts of a larger city. her home is in the very back, with its backyard facing directly into deep swampy woods. she has a Halloween tradition thanks to her parents. she would always take a handful of candy out to the woods behind the house and leave it there. this would be a sacrifice to appease the greedunks, a monster that her father had supposedly made up to scare her. it was said to eat candy and if you didn't share then it would sneak inside and take away all of the candy you had. when she was little this local story scared her to bits. but nowadays she doesn't mind the idea of the creatures living behind her house. she still gives them candy every single year anyways though just to be safe.
