Mel is a gijinka/anthropomorphisation of the city of Melbourne from my webcomic Southern Cross.

As the capital for arts and culture, Mel is artistic but also a huge hipster as well as a nerd. He may seem angry but he's actually just awkward and shy, getting embarassed extremely easily. He can also be quite haughty.

Casual street wear, skinny jeans, hats. He dressed a lot more fancy when he was younger. He also wears the girls outfits better than they do

movies/books/comics/games that you havent heard of, painting, street art, horses.
