Mel Medarda survived Jinx's attack at the end of Arcane Season 1, despite her being the closest to the blast. She then spends Act 1 in direct opposition to her mother Ambessa Medarda. Mel put effort into keeping the peace between Piltover and Zaun, while preventing the weaponization of Hextech.

Both of these fail, of course, as Ambessa names Caitlyn commander and declares martial law, and Jayce arms the Enforcers with Hextech-enhanced weapons.

At the end of Act 1, Mel and her assistant Elora fall under the influence of the Black Rose.

Mel seemed to have good intentions throughout the season. She was reasonable when it came to making decisions as a Councilor. She developed a romantic relationship with Jayce and protected his interests of keeping Hextech away from the wrong hands. She also opposed her mother who was starting to dig her claws into the governing bodies of Piltover.
