Shirohimetchi

Shirohimetchi (しろひめっち), simply known as Shirotchi (しろっち) during the Vintage era, is a female Tamagotchi character created by Mooshroomdude250. 
Although she was originally gender neutral, she gradually transitioned into a female Tamagotchi in Tamagotchi Toons, and has irreversibly been classified as such, since the Connection/Plus era. On most Virtual Pets, she is an adult, but on the Tamagotchi Uni, she has been promoted to the senior stage. 
==Appearance==
On the Virtual Pets, Shirohimetchi resembles an elderly humanoid Tamagotchi with pure white skin and black, featureless eyes, much like her younger siblings. Her hair is bright purple and tied into a large bun. She wears a black (dark grey in video games) crown to signify her "rulership" of Greyscale Village, and has pale purple wings on her back. 
For clothing, she wears a princess dress that is pure white with puffy purple sleeves, and has various red dots on it. Much like her sisters, her feet are unseen, but they are stated to resemble human feet. 
Her vintage design is the same, except her crown is smaller and she has slightly darker skin. Her vintage vector was designed on Mooshroomdude250's old account that he used in late-2019, before he stopped in mid-2020. In the anime, Shirohimetchi has been greatly redesigned, as with her younger sisters. 
==Personality==
Shirohimetchi is the sisterly type of Tamagotchi. Whilst she is incredibly wealthy, she is also loving and caring towards her younger sisters and other residents of Tamagotchi Planet. She often disciplines her younger sisters (most often Silvertchi), if they fail to follow one of her rules multiple times.
Because of her sisterly and merciful attitude, her primarily-watched television station, ABC affiliate TBNG (owned and operated by Nexstar Media Group, with some sub-channels co-owned by Warner Bros. Discovery) bans any news articles ridiculing other Tamagotchi, while the four other stations highly discourage it.
She also likes talking to some of the parent Tamagotchi as well, because she is often considered a "parent". According to some conversations she had with them, if she was an actual mother, she would consider Kurotchi and Greytchi as her children. Another thing she told them was that she once thought of buying NBCUniversal in the Summer of 2008, but she forgot all about it until Comcast's acquisition of the company in 2012.
Profiles
Shirotchi is quite the kind Tamagotchi. It's distinct purple hair will make both Tamagotchi and Humans recognize it and trust it. However, despite being kind, it does have quite the cowardly personality.
〜 64 de Hakken! Minna de Tamagotchi World (1997)
Hello there former caretaker. So I've see you decided to let me go on my own. That's fine in my books! Even we didn't get along with each other all the time, the most important thing was that we loved each other.
〜 Tamagotchi (CD-ROM)
Shirohimetchi is the caring eldest sibling of Kurotchi. While both are different, they get along extremely well. In fact, Shirohimetchi gets along with most of her sisters. However, no one exactly knows how the group became the way they are.....Note to Silvertchi: Please stop being mean to others!

Shirohimetchi can exclusively evolve from the Rainbow Family's teen (Tamatchi) regardless of her care. Breeding her with Prince Tamahiko will result in two eggs to hatch. If her bond is higher, then a Babytchi and a Shirobabytchi hatch. 
If Prince Tamahiko's bond is higher, then two Omututchis will be born instead. For her side, the Shirobabytchi will always hatch first and will evolve into Silvertchi, and the Babytchi will hatch into an unnamed Larval stage that is said to be Greytchi.

=== Tamagotchi Toons ===
In Tamagotchi Toons, Shirotchi made her debut in the Season 2 episode "The New Tamageneration". In this series, she was often portrayed as shy, yet very easygoing. 
Because of her shy personality, she often feels nervous whenever Bill (who had a one-sided crush on her) tried to confess, often chickening out before she said "no". She is good friends with Mimitchi, due to her having raised him when he was very young.

== Trivia ==
* She is so far the only female vintage Tamagotchi to consistently keep her gender.
** Mametchi and Tarakotchi were female during the vintage era, but later became male with Mimitchi and Kusatchi initially being male before becoming female.
*In Tamagotchi! Adventures, it's been revealed that Shirohimetchi wasn't a princess all her life, because after Greyscale Village's monarchy was dissolved, the final ruler, King Monochrome VIII, passed his crown down to her when she was only 13 before his death five years later. 
**Before her inheritance, she was known as just simply "Shirotchi". The reason why she was selected was because he needed a Tamagotchi that looked like a princess. She then legally changed her name to Shirohimetchi at the age of 23, though she had adopted said name as a nickname at the age of 15.
* Her Tap and Hatch design was designed outside of Bandai. Rather, it was designed by a team at 20th Century Fox Animation. This was because they had a strong relationship with the studio at the time, despite also having a deal with Viacom for most Tamagotchi-related projects, but because Bandai has the rights to the design, it makes it one of the only non-DreamWorks related artwork made by Fox not to be owned by The Walt Disney Company.
* Shirohimetchi plays a strong counterpart relationship with Kurotchi.
** Both of their names contain Shiro and Kuro, the Japanese terms for White and Black, two opposite colors of the spectrum.
** Their hair colors, Violet and Red, are considered opposites of the color spectrum, in addition to Red being the first color and Violet being the last color of the rainbow.
** And finally, Shirohimetchi is 57 years old, making her an adult while Kurotchi is 17, making her a youth.
* Her original design was deemed "too creepy" for North American audiences due to her giant red smile. Therefore, she had a drastically altered design overseas. Ironically, it would be used for her Game Boy design.
** Her original design would eventually be abandoned in 2008, with her Tap and Hatch design being used for her "vintage" design in modern media only.
==Name Origin==
Her name comes from Shiro (城), meaning white, and Hime (姫), meaning Princess.
