Hades: Green Lipstick & Alternate Lives – What We’re Loving About Mel

The striking visual style of the game Hades heavily influences how each character is created, and Mel is a perfect example. A recent discussion highlighted Mel’s identity, particularly her bold green lipstick, and one player, Red_Rose23, shared their surprise at realizing Mel is a woman amongst a cast of many other women. This observation sparked a broader conversation about how Hades portrays gender and individuality, and how Mel stands out even among its strong female characters. It’s interesting to see how players’ understanding of characters evolves as they learn more about their stories, and Mel’s design seems to encourage players to think about what femininity and being unique mean to them.
