Forte

For information about the Mega Man series character whose Japanese name is Forte, see Bass.
Forte is the protagonist of the Painterly series. He is a Painting Sprite, along with his sister, Melody.
==Characteristics==
Forte has a short stature and is seen wearing only a shirt and pants, customary of all of Akaye's painting sprites. He also has blonde hair and pale skin. Forte is, put simply, the player's character, or the hero. However, in Painterly, he does not show personality until the end of the game, where he begins talking when confronted by Morsai and Kura.

==Trivia==
*Forte and Melody both have musical names. Forte in music refers to a loud level of sound. This is referencing Forte's potential to become very powerful, realized at the end of Painterly.
*In his official art for Painterly, Forte has one half of the Morsai Tower painting on his shirt. His sister, Melody, has the other half on her dress.
*Forte's design includes the three chief colors of Painterly (blue, red, and yellow). Several Painterly characters also share these colors in common. These are also the primary colors of the color wheel, an artistic reference.
