Bonjour mon ami! This is my first ever post here :O I decided I wished to share some of my personal head cannons and theories about my favorite ride in the world: Phantom Manor!

Mélanie was born into what seemed to be the richest family in Arizona, the Ravenswood Family. Now you’d think being born into such a wealthy family came with lavish gifts, and loving parents! But this was far from it for poor little Mélanie Ravenswood. Her parents constantly argued non-stop. . . it seemed like every hour and every minute of the day they always argued! Which led to poor Mélanie not getting much attention. She’d often play with Anna or Jasper, on some occasions she’d sit in her father's office and play just to be close to him but it always led to her being escorted out. Mélanie soon grew to learn that the best thing to do is to keep to yourself and always try to please people. On very rare occasions, Martha and Henry went out! To different states. . . or different countries even! One thing they both agreed on was they couldn’t just leave Mélanie at home with the maids and expect her to be all fine. . . a certain family would have to watch over their precious little girl. So on an upcoming trip, they packed little Melanie’s bags and the three of them went on a train to none other than New Orleans! A lavish place filled with music and entertainment. . . one could be occupied for hours on end! The Ravenswood couple bid farewell to their little girl and left her standing in front of a large lavish home that didn’t look too far off from her home! It was a pretty white colour like her house yet there were large green beams of sorts and a much different layout. When she came into the home she was in absolute awe of everything around her! Various portraits of the most beautiful of woman. . . and quite handsome of man! That’s where she ran into none other than Emily Gracey of course! Melanie was in absolute awe of this woman… she was so pretty and filled with grace! It didn’t take long for the two to become best of friends. Emily took great care of the little girl and made sure she was quite content. She played with Melanie in the grand ballroom, she played dolls with little Melanie, and she even took her out into the streets of New Orleans! One day when they were out and about it was quite a busy day in New Orleans. Many were out and about just like Mélanie and Emily but unfortunately, Melanie drifted away from Emily! In distress and scared, Melanie called out Emily’s name but there was no answer! She whipped her head around everywhere to try and figure out where she could be when she came across quite a beautiful hat shop! Without a moment to spare Melanie bolted into the hat shop and was in awe of what she saw. . . so many hats! Hatty was quite curious to hear the bell of his shop chime, but there was nobody there! He peaked over his counter and looked down at the little girl in curiosity, where were her poor parents? Melanie explained to Hatty that she had come here from states away to visit some of her parent's friends for a week. She was separated from Auntie and she couldn’t find her. A wave of pity washed over Hatty and he assured little Melanie he would help find her auntie after he made some hats. He told little Melanie that if she wished to make hats with him, she could! Melanie gladly took the offer and began making hats with him. Soon after they made a couple of hats, the evening of the day approached! Hatty held Melanie carefully in his arms as he looked around town for her said auntie. . . and there she was! Emily was frantically searching for little Melanie but when he eyes came across Hatty she quickly rushed over! Not only was she quite joyful to see Hatty… Hatty also had mélanie in his arms! She quickly scooped Melanie into her arms and thanked Hatty with a flustered look on her face. Ever since those times, Melanie has always returned to New Orleans to see the two, the two who treated her like their child.
