Lovelitchi

Lovelitchi (ラブリっち), previously spelt internationally as Lovelytchi, and also known by her stage name Lovelin, is a female Tamagotchi character who debuted in the first episode of the Tamagotchi! anime, and on the TamaCafé playset. On the Virtual Pets, she debuted on the Tamagotchi iD (in Japan), and the TamaTown Tama-Go (internationally).
Since her introduction, Lovelitchi has become a mainstay of the Tamagotchi franchise, and eventually one of the franchise's mascots, which may be due to her immense popularity amongst the Tamagotchi fanbase, most especially in Japan, alongside longtime mascots Mametchi, Kuchipatchi, and Memetchi.
Her birthday is on September 10, and when written as "9-10", it can be read in Japanese as goroawase (Japanese wordplay) for キュート (kyūto), meaning "cute". Coincidentially, it is shared with her Japanese voice actress, Kei Shindo.
==Appearance==
Lovelitchi is a white rabbit-like Tamagotchi, with two fluffy, tall ears, teal blue eyes with sparkly highlights and 3 eyelashes on each eye, and light pink blush marks. 
For clothing, in both of her designs, she wears ear accessories, a frilly dress, a neck accessory, stockings, and a pink heart-shaped bag.
In Tamagotchi!: Legend of the Pure Notes, it is revealed that Lovelitchi always keeps a microphone in her bag, in case she wants to sing. Whilst she has used various microphones throughout the series, the most commonly-used type has a light grey handle, and a pink grille. 
===Original Clothing===
Her original attire consisted of a frilly blue dress, with a fuzzy, light pink collar, matching blue bows on her ears, magenta stockings, and a pink, heart-shaped bag.
===Tama-Heart Clothing===
Since episode 95 of the anime, her attire consists of a light pink dress with white frills, a blue bow, blue stockings, and two beaded scrunchies on her ears, with the one on the right being obscured by two Tama-Hearts (added in by Moriritchi). The heart-shaped bag from her previous attire is carried over to this outfit, but in a slightly different shade of pink.

==Personality==
Lovelitchi is a very sweet girl who cherishes her family and loves meeting new people. She is very kind and likes to help out, which can sometimes lead to her being worried about having to please everyone. Due to bad experiences in the past, she used to believe that "idols can't have real friends", until she transferred to Tamagotchi School. Since then, her friends have helped her gain some confidence.
Her favourite activity is singing, but she also likes dancing, and trying on new outfits. She is positive and hardworking, even when it comes to her career as a superstar, though sometimes she may end up overworking herself.
Throughout the anime, it is mentioned that Lovelitchi enjoys reading and can be a bit air-headed at times. It is also revealed that her favorite food is Neapolitan ice cream, and her least favorite food is bell peppers. Lovelitchi is also depicted to be talented at drawing in some episodes.
==Relationships==
===Melodytchi===
Lovelitchi first saw Melodytchi on television, playing her violin. Lovelitchi found the music beautiful and admired Melodytchi's talent. When Melodytchi arrived at TAMAX-TV, Lovelitchi recognized her immediately and was quick to introduce herself. While Lovelitchi was interviewing Melodytchi for a TAMAX-TV show, Lovelitchi felt a mysterious connection to her and was deeply moved by how much she cares about her violin. When Lovelitchi was performing a live concert and the power went out, Melodytchi played her violin to save the concert and the two girls became the best of friends. Melodytchi now lives at the TamaCafé with Lovelitchi and they do nearly everything together. As Melodytchi has a more upbeat personality, she often encourages Lovelitchi when she is doubting herself. Because of their close chemistry, they are a popular pairing among fans.
===Mametchi===
Lovelitchi and Mametchi are on very good terms. They first met in the first episode where Lovelitchi, as Lovelin, briefly interviewed him and other competitors before the big Tama Street race. As revealed through a flashback in the following episode, his selflessness in saving Kuchipatchi before the end of the race was one of the reasons that Lovelitchi decided to move to Tamagotchi Town. While attending Tamagotchi School, Lovelitchi became close friends with Mametchi and he taught her about the concept of Tama-Friends. Later, Mametchi willingly put his birthday on hold until Lovelitchi finally came hours later, and after she confessed her Lovelin identity, he was quick to forgive her, making her much more confident in the process. They are also nothing more or nothing less than friends and despite their close friendship, they don't consider it romantic (in fact, Lovelitchi becomes quite uncomfortable when people assume they are one).
===KuroMametchi===
Despite his aloof nature, KuroMametchi seems to be the Tamagotchi who understands and cares for Lovelitchi the most. He knew of her secret identity from the very beginning but never revealed it, and would always strive to help her and protect her identity--even if it meant dressing up in a Heroine Lovelin costume to lead others astray. He has Lovelin posters all over the walls of his room, leads her fan club, and is one of the only male Tamagotchis whose infatuation with her has remained throughout the series. For example, during the photo contest in episode 83, he secretly takes an anonymous photo of Lovelin while uncharacteristically blushing with shimmering eyes. He also tried to get her to think twice when she was changing herself in order to impress Hitomitchi.
== Alternate Forms ==
=== Lovelin ===
Lovelin is Lovelitchi's secret/alternate identity as a pop star and actress. She is very popular and has many fans that adore her and watch everything she appears in. Lovelin has many roles in the entertainment industry, including acting in many of TAMAX-TV's shows and movies, working as a TV reporter, and performing in concerts with her own original songs.
=== Young Lovelitchi ===
Young Lovelitchi is Lovelitchi in her much younger years, approx. 6-8 years ago. Her dress and ribbons are yellow instead of blue. She is very clumsy and a crybaby, always running into everything and crying a lot. Her behavior is somewhat similar to Chamametchi; she can be child-like and emotional.
=== Love-Chan ===
Love-Chan is the alternate reality version of Lovelitchi from the Tamagotchi Village. She appeared in episode 132 of the anime. Love-Chan is also an affectionate term used for Lovelitchi by fans on various Japanese Tamagotchi-related social media posts.
=== Lovely Fire ===
Lovely Fire is one of two personality stages Lovelitchi can access on the Tamagotchi 4U and 4U+. In this form, her ears (and sometimes her eyes) are on fire, and she gains prominent, thick eyebrows. Her personality also changes, becoming much more determined, and is much faster and stronger. Her flaming ears can cause other objects or Tamagotchi around her to catch fire. As revealed by Josh Weinstein in the Tamagotchi! panel at Comic-Con 2017, it is revealed that Lovelitchi can also access this form if she is angered to an extreme extent.
=== Chubby Lovelitchi ===
Chubby Lovelitchi is Lovelitchi's other Personality Stage form. In this form, she is very large from eating too much food. Her eyes become much smaller, and her arms stick out more, making her resemble Neenetchi. While this form has not appeared in the anime, it did appear in a dream sequence in IDW Publishing's Tamagotchi Alliance comic, written by Sonic the Hedgehog comic writer Ian Flynn.
=== Princess Loveli ===
Princess Loveli is Lovelitchi's Henshin Jo form on the Tamagotchi iD L. She also appears on the Tamagotchi Meets Fantasy version as a m!xable character.

*In episode 52 of the anime, there was a brief scene in which Lovelitchi (or Lovelin, for that matter) wore a flashy strawberry-inspired dress. This dress is actually fanmade, as it was the winner of an official Lovelitchi outfit design contest.
*If you count all of the alternate forms of Lovelitchi, including all of the alternate forms of Lovelin and the alternate reality Lovelitchi that resides in Tamagotchi Village, she has the second highest number of alternate forms, after Mametchi, which even surpasses the amount of alternate forms for Kuchipatchi and Memetchi.
* Lovelitchi's pajamas are similar to Chamametchi's, although they are larger and colored blue rather than pink.
*Lovelitchi has been the subject of several LGBT-related fan assumptions, especially on Twitter and Tumblr.
