Melina Kanakaredes has a very practical nature; she wants to see concrete, tangible results for her efforts, and she is not one to concoct wild dreams that are unlikely to come into fruition. Most of her "wild dreams" have to do with material achievements, well-being and security, for she has a great love of the physical world and she wants to experience and enjoy it to the full. Though Melina Kanakaredes will work long and persistently, she also has a strong sensual and comfort-loving side, and she wants to enjoy what she has worked for.

Melina has three major faults: one is her bullheaded obstinacy. The second is her unwillingness to deviate from her safe, predictable routine.
