Early years / pre-canon
Melchior's family used to be a noble family, however little politcal standing or land they might have had. Really, they were more noble in name more than anything else, but they took great pride in their title regardless. However, the Wyszka family was reckless in spending and indulgences, and were eventually overthown and forced to live like low commoners, having to work painful hours to get by with little to their name. Because of this, Melchior grew up with little luxuries to his name as a young boy and would often envy the nobles passing through the streets with their lavish garments and their many little comforts, especially the ladies of the families. With hard labor and many hours, the Wyszka family managed to make a humble but stable living for themselves by the time Melchior was about 7 years old. It was around this time Melchior for the first time tried his hand at sewing by patching up his own clothes and those of his friends. Realizing the power that a needle and thread held, he wished to open a tailoring shop as soon as he would be old enough, however his parents had little faith in him as someone of their disgraced standing, and would often encourage him to pick up smithing or a sword instead, or even to serve a family that was better off than them.
As he grew older, Melchior would become very cautious with his belongings, and even more so with his health. He took great pride in his self care and his loved tending to himself and loved ones in the form of fixing stuff for them, helping them clear themselves or their homes, and especially in helping heal then when injured. Melchior was often seen as vulnerable and weak due to his feminine appearance and his hobbies, and would often have to rely on his friends to fight back for him or defend him when getting picked on. Even so, Melchior tried to not show his fears and would quitely learn healing magic in the his spare time to tend to the injuries his friends ended up with while defending him. After a long and difficult talk with his family about his worries about his strenghts and weaknesses, his insecurities and his passions, Melchior and his family sold many of Melchior's handmade garments to pay for his education at Garreg Mach, hoping he would learn to fight better for himself and his loved ones.
Canon
Pre-TS: Melchior often feels a bit out of place between the nobles at Garreg Mach, feeling a complicated mix of admiration, jealousy and shame when interacting with them. Even so, he can't help but often hang around those better off than him and cozying up to those who pride themselves on their family names, such as Ferdinand or Lorenz. Even so, Melchior hates showing off his true fears and insecurities and anything he sees as weak or ugly, often acting in a teasing yet innocent manner to hide his true heart. Often he worries others can see right through him even as his lines between his true self and his facade begin tho blur together for him. He does well in classes and training, and is quickly shown that his care for others and his healing abilities. This leads him to often put others before himself and be very self-sacrificing, believing it's the best he can do to give back to his classmates. During breaks and peaceful downtimes between training, Melchior finds himself envying the Golden Deer in their lighter mood and playful interactions. He especially finds himself fond of the other commoners such as Leonie and Ignatz, feeling a stronger bond with them and feeling safe in being able to understand him. He also soon finds out he just really likes strong women who put him in his place, but that's not the point. Melchior does what told very well, but he tends to be stuck in what he knows and is afraid to change. He believes that loyalty is rewarded ands sticks close to the Black Eagles because of this even in spite of friendships or family relationships.
