Melina

**Melina** is Mrs. Snooply's Venus poptrap.

## Appearance

Melina is a small green Venus poptrap that's planted inside a yellow and purple planter. When Mrs. Snooply puts too much super-pop all natural fertilizer on her, she grew into a gigantic size and is much taller than an average adult Popple height.

## Personality

While Melina is only a plant, she is shown to love her new owner, Mrs. Snooply, the moment when she adopts her. She's willing to help Mrs. Snooply by eating all the pop-flies that're swarming to her garden due to her appetite for small bugs. However, when Mrs. Snooply poured the entire bottle of Lulu's super-pop all natural fertilizer on her, Melina grew into a giant carnivorous plant and started to eat any Popples who come to her path due to her giant size lead her to mistake them as her prey.

## Abilities

As a Venus poptrap, Melina can eat any bugs that're flying towards her. When she grew into a medium size, she can also bounces herself from her planter without needing someone to carry her. When Melina grew into a giant, she can devour anything that're smaller than her, including Popples and many everyday objects. However, Melina does has one weakness that could stop her from moving around: Yikes's smelly odor.

## Relationship

### Mrs. Snooply

Melina loves Mrs. Snooply the moment when she adopted by her, cuddling her before she gives her a name. However when Melina turns into a giant carnivorous plant after Mrs. Snooply wants her to become bigger by pouring the entire bottle of super-pop fertilizer on her, she mistakes her new owner as a pop-fly and ate her at the Ani Mall.

### Yikes

Although Melina isn't seen interacting with Yikes a lot, she despises his smelly odor when Yikes haven't showered for many days before the Best Popple Pals found her. This serves as her weakness when she, as a giant plant, ate him at the Ani Mall and his odor lead to her throwing up everyone and everything she devoured.
