Melodytchi

Melodytchi (メロディっち) is a female Tamagotchi character who debuted in episode 48 of the Tamagotchi! anime, and has since become a staple character of the Tamagotchi franchise, most especially in Japan. On the Virtual Pets, she debuted on the Tamagotchi iD Lovely Melody Version.
Her birthday is on December 29.
== Appearance ==
Melodytchi is a cream yellow, cat-like Tamagotchi. She has bright blue eyes. with oval and droplet-shaped highlights and 7 eyelashes on each eye, pinkish-red beads around her ears, and a right-facing tuft of hair, which is usually covered up by her hat. 
For clothing, in both of her designs, she wears a black hat (with dark pinkish-purple highlights), small purple droplet-shaped earrings, and a black sleeveless shirt with matching stockings.
=== Original Clothing ===
Her original attire consisted of a pinkish-red dress worn over a black sleeveless shirt and stockings, with a light pink (or light purple) quaver note necklace (from episodes 48-63), or the Melody Charm (from episodes 63-95). A matching beamed note accessory could be seen on her hat.
=== Tama-Heart Clothing ===
Since Episode 95 of the anime, her attire consists of violet overall shorts (with pale violet-colored buttons) worn over the same sleeveless shirt and stockings from her previous attire. Two Tama-Hearts (added in by Moriritchi) can be seen on her hat.
=== Other Clothing ===
In the Tamagotchi! Adventures episodes "Are you "My Friend"?" and "The Other User of the Melody Violin", Melodytchi is shown in a more summer-themed outift, consisting of a black sleeveless crop top with a dark purple beamed note graphic on the right side, violet denim shorts, and black sandals. Unlike most of her outifts, she is shown without her hat, and is sometimes seen wearing red-framed sunglasses.
==Personality==
Melodytchi is a friendly, fun-loving Tamagotchi who likes doing activities with her friends such as competitions and riding roller coasters, but sometimes, she gets a little too excited. She is an optimistic Tamagotchi who always wears a smile and is good at cheering her friends up, even when things are going badly. In addition, for reasons unknown, she can't understand love at all and has a strange sense of jokes. She also likes food, especially sweets. Lovelitchi is her closest Tama-Friend.
She frequently speaks English in the anime. often saying "good morning," "hello," "goodbye", and instead of "watashi wa," she often introduces herself with "mī wa" (mī being the English word me). In the dub, as well as the European Portuguese dub and the European/Castilian Spanish dub, this is changed to French, using phrases such as "bonjour", "au revoir", "merci", "sacre bleu", and often introduces herself with "Je suis" rather than "I'm" or "I am". The Romanian dub would use both English and French as her secondary languages. The Catalan, Hindi, Polish, and Russian dubs don't even use a secondary language for her. Most non-english international dubs retain English as her secondary language.
Melodytchi loves sweets so much that she has even had a fight with Kuchipatchi over a cookie. She likes to taste all different kinds of sweets but she doesn't eat as much as Kuchipatchi does. She loves her violin because it was given to her by Joou Sama, and she has had many experiences in playing it. She calls it her "friend" and treats it very well as if it were alive.
Beginning in Tamagotchi!: Legend of the Pure Notes, Melodytchi gains a tomboyish side to her personality, as she is shown playing sports with KuroMametchi, Sunopotchi and Orenetchi. The rest of her personality remains unchanged.
==Relationships==
===Lovelitchi===
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 Lovelitchi has a more timid personality, she often has to be encouraged by Melodytchi when she is doubting herself.
=== Mametchi ===
Although Mametchi and Melodytchi seldomly spend time together, they are still on good terms. Melodytchi has a positive opinion on Mametchi's otherwise-panned painting and singing, and she went to him for advice on a Mother's Day present in episode 78b.
== Alternate Forms ==
=== Young Melodytchi ===
Young Melodytchi is a younger version of Melodytchi that appears in flashback sequences in the anime. She has smaller eyes than her current form, and doesn't wear a hat.
=== Melody Investigator ===
Melody Investigator is a detective who appears in the Thief Papillon series. She carries a pink and blue laptop in which she records all her information, which resembles the Tama-Friend PC. She seems to be Anpan Detective's rival, as she often follows him around to record the latest news, but this sometimes annoys and distracts Anpan.
