Marsha Mello

Marsha Mello is a Flexer Shoppie.

## Description

### Personality

Marsha Mello is a very strong and smart Shoppie. Despite these powerful strengths, she has some very horrible and serious confidence issues. She is a Shoppie of few words and emotions, and has a tendency to stick to the sidelines. However, she knows how to have fun, and when she gets into something, she can grow enthusiastically and happy.

### Physical Appearance

Marsha Mello is a dark skinned girl with milk blue and lilac eyes. Her lips and cheeks are neutral pink and she wears white eye-shadow. She has long white hair worn in braided twin-tails with streaks of pink and gold, held by marshmallows, and her bangs are entirely swept to the right with an additional lilac streak. She wears a white dress with a milk blue collar and a baby pink ribbon hanging from the center, and her skirt is trim with milk blue frills and covered in a faint pastel marshmallow pattern. She also wears a marshmallow bracelet, pastel yellow tights, and milk blue shoes with stripes around the ankle and a baby pink bow on the foot.

## Ability

### Origin

Her tentacles can stretch to long lengths and act like whips to attack very quickly, this can be weakened by her lack of confidence.

* She and Sara Sushi sport outdated aerobic gear when the two exercise together.
* She is able to do an impression of a robot. Her pupils seem to turn square-shaped when doing this.
* Despite her reputation for not being confident, she does not seem to show this trait often and even says to Lippy Lulu that they can make it in time for Pippa Melon's party in Elevator.
* She is the only member of the Flexers tribe to have more than 4 characters in her name.

## Behind the Scenes

Marsha Mello is based on a marshmallow. It s a type of confectionery which is typically made from sugar, water and gelatin whipped to a squishy consistency. It is used as a filling in baking, or commonly molded into shapes and coated with corn starch. This is the modern version of a medicinal confection made from Althaea officinalis, the marshmallow plant.

### Voice

Elevator is the first and so far only episode where Marsha Mello actually speaks. Whenever she speaks, she extends "I"-based sounds, which makes them sound like they are springing; fitting her elastic abilities.
