IMPORTANT RELATIONSHIPS,  AS  (MOSTLY)  OUTLINED BELOW:   fitzgerald grant iii (ex-husband),  karen grant  (daughter),  teddy grant  (son),  olivia pope  (former enemy,  former chief of staff,  sort of friend?),  abby whelan  (current chief of staff,  friend-ly),  susan ross  (vice president,  friend),  jacob ballard  (former chief of staff,  nON FRIEND),  cyrus beene  (former vice president,  definite non friend),  david rosen  (attorney general,  friend).
IMPORTANT RELATIONSHIPS WITH THOSE DECEASED:   jerry grant  (son),  james novak  (friend),  elizabeth north  (sort of friend?),  evelyn eaves  (mother).  
IMPORTANT PORTRAYAL BASED RELATIONSHIPS:   owen grady  (advisor;  @raptorraised),  minerva allory  (best friend,  tbh;  @crimscnmalice).
QUICK FACTS THAT MOST WOULD KNOW!
while mellie is definitely republican,  it’s been noted that she’s the most progressive republican president in over 100 years,  and is pro-lqbt+,  pro-immigration,  pro-choice,  and has notably pushed through legislation for stricter gun control,  and worked toward middle eastern peace.
wrote a ‘tell all’ book about her time as first lady,  though only bits of it were published in a ‘leak’ in an attempt to get her better footing as a presidential candidate.
was the first person to air information about fitz’s affair with olivia pope  (  though she didn’t leak olivia’s name   ).
ex-wife of 44th president of the united states,  fitzgerald ‘fitz’ grant iii.
once she filibustered for 16 hours on the eve of the christmas holidays to save planned parenthood bc a man told her not to and i love her.
her son,  jerry,  died during fitz’s second campaign and she spent three months in a deep depression,  where she was dubbed ‘mental mellie’ by the press for regularly visiting his grave in her pajamas.
she didn’t win the presidential election,  she lost to frankie vargas,  who was assassinated almost immediately after being announced as the winner.  mellie was elected by the electoral college over cyrus beene.
her chief of staff was initially olivia pope,  until mellie forced her to resign. 
her original pick for vp was jake ballard,  who was blackmailed out of the position and replaced by frankie vargas’ widow,  luna.  luna died the evening of mellie’s inauguration and was replaced by cyrus beene.
olivia was replaced as chief of staff by jake ballard,  who tried to push mellie out of office with the aid of cyrus beene.
jake was later arrested and sent to a maximum security prison,  and cyrus was forced by olivia to resign as vp.
underwent impeachment hearings during her first year in office,  though they were later found to be under false pretenses presented by jake ballard. 
i headcanon that she convinces susan ross,  who ran against her for president,  to come on as vp;  and abby whelan,  who worked previously as fitz’s chief of staff,  to come on as her chief of staff,  as cyrus resigned,  jake imprisoned,  and olivia refused to come back on.
also this isn’t necessarily crucial to mellie,  but david rosen definitely didn’t die and is helping mellie to restore her public image post impeachment-hearings.
FACTS THAT PRIVILEGED PEOPLE MIGHT KNOW!
her marriage to fitz was arranged for political benefit,  as mellie’s father came from old money so her name was ‘good’.
had an affair with former vice president andrew nichols.
was a part of the team that conspired to rig voting machines in defiance county, ohio in order to get fitz elected,  along with olivia pope,  verna thorton,  hollis doyle,  and cyrus beene   (   commonly referred to as ‘defiance’   ).
her son was murdered by a secret service agent under orders from olivia’s father,  rowan pope.
was in a flirtatious relationship with president farid rashad of bashran before he was killed by olivia pope via her b613   (   an underground spy organization,  now dismantled   )   resources.
in an on-and-off relationship with senator marcus walker.

tbh she’s only a republican bc fitz is and she for political and image reasons she had to match him.
