> - The spirits of Melody Harmadale and Cherry Lovedream, to Cynthia Moonpath before her final battle

**Melody Daisy-Porter Harmadale** (Japanese: **デイジーポーター 愛奏心** *Deijī-Portuaa Akami*) is one of the main characters of *Magicae Amicitiae et Harmoniae*. She is a graceful and loving girl created by the Light of Hope and is known for being the most active Puella Magi due to her semi-immortality.

## Bio

### Appearance

Melody has sapphire blue eyes and hair that fades from plum purple to electric blue (which becomes sparkly and slightly longer after Stage 3, but does not have a fade). Her Harmony Mark is a light pink heart with a halo that fades from purple to cyan, and she has the Daisy birthmark on one shoulderblade and the Porter birthmark on the other. For all of her known outfits, see here.

### Personality

Melody is sweet, loving and graceful at heart. Whenever anyone feels sad, she goes to cheer them up. Whenever anyone feels glad, she will happily greet them. She does, however, have a fear of dying so early, yet she remains on the bright side.

She also ***loves*** to sing. Her voice is so soothing that when it comes to lulabies, the one who she often sings to will fall asleep. She always sings at the right time, and is the one with the most songs in the entire series.

She has a very traumatic past that she prefers not to mention, as she once watched with horror seeing her aunts and uncles (by respect) getting killed by her father. She'll also ***FLIP OUT*** if anycreature taunts her over being the daughter of a Traitor Guardian. Anytime she hears such, she'll run off crying, and will sometimes witch out.

Although Melody seems to enjoy her eternal life, deep down she is shown to resent it, and despite befriending and bonding with numerous Magis with a diverse array of powers and personalities over the years, she becomes deeply saddened and devastated every time each one dies. Hints of this side of her personality are first shown in *Rosie Magica* where she does a good job of keeping a tight lid on her sadness, but breaks down when she sees all the present-day Magis' souls, but *especially* 20 cyan ones which she recognizes to belong to her brothers. This is also further shown after *Rosie Magica* in *Amber Magica* where the pain of losing all the friends and family she has had over the years finally starts to take a toll on her, combined with her going insane from being locked in the dungeon and put on display as a freak human for Pegasi, and in *Katy Magica*, she breaks down and confides to Melissa that she isn't happy being stuck as a child and not taken seriously by many despite being considered an adult. She is finally at peace after passing away in *The End of the Princess*, despite dying a slow, painful death from being crushed and strangled to death by a witch.

### Relationships

* **Victoria Daisy**: Her deceased mother, who she misses greatly. She gets to truly see her in a *Lillie Magica* chapter (the adaption of the PKMN:SM episode "Memories in the Mist!"), and it turns out that her parents wanting to see each other again is the reason why she never became a Psuedo-Perserver until that time (although it wasn't until "Melody and the Darkest Day Crisis" that she is able to master the Psuedo-Perserver transformation). She becomes extremely furious if anycreature taunts or mocks her over her deceased mother, especially Black Hat.
* **Arcturus Porter I**: Her pretty-much-alive father, who she lives with due to her mother being dead, and he raises her himself. Although she loves her father dearly, she often can't stand his foul attitude and being a jerk to his own friends, and the fact he started a war (the Great Rebellion) to murder the Taisha *and* Arcadia over Victoria's death. She is also often conflicted between wanting to run away and leaving her only parent. After *Melody Magica*, she is shown to miss him greatly, and has since vowed to protect herself and live in the honor of her parents.
* **Primarch Porters**: Her older brothers. As of *Cherry Magica 3*, *she* is the one who *sometimes* insults all but one of them. Rarely, insulting them too much can end up in being bullied by them except Rogal, Magnus, Corvus, Vulkan and Leman, the only ones that truly care for her and being bullied by their own brothers. It was confirmed in a made-up interview that the staff she has as a weapon was once a normal toy made by Eridanus. Despite them all being older than her, she isn't afraid to voice her annoyance when they act like idiots, such as when she dismisses Rogal's gift for her (a pink castle he built) and destroys his hard work, which devastates him so much that he witches out and forces her to apologize after he is purified. Near the end of *Rosie Magica*, she is horrified to see 20 cyan-colored souls trapped in the AoTA's crystal orbs since she recognizes them to be her brothers, but after the present-day Magis are freed, she is reunited with her brothers and cries in their embrace.
* **Elfreda Thornbush**: Her best friend in *Aurea Magica*.
* **Amber Witchhazel**: Melody and Amber first meet in "The Crystal at Zephyr Heights," and the latter is extremely excited to meet the former, being ecstatic when she learns that she was alive back when there was still magic, even though all the Pegasi citizens consider her a freak and she is considered legally insane due to having no proof that she was ever created by or used magic. The two end up becoming good friends during their quest to restore magic, despite sometimes being annoyed by her childishness.
* **Nanette Daisy**: The two girls get along very well, especially since they are family. Melody also mentors Nanette on how to be a good magical girl, and both bond over missing Victoria. Nanette does, however, sometimes treat Melody like a little kid despite her being much older than her, such as when she gets worried over her safety.
* **Gemma Firesplash**: Her "Hetrosexual Life-Partner." Melody is also the one who asked the MoF to make her alive after she was born dead, though after Gemma dies after *Rosie Magica*, she becomes extremely depressed and tries (and fails) to find ways to commit suicide while in the dungeon at Zephyr Heights.
* **Joan "Tart" of Arc**: Her best friend in *Tart Magica*, who she cares for greatly. In her final diary entry for the arc, it is revealed that she was quite sad over losing her when she became a Perserver, but knew better and decided to move on.
* **Jim Porter**: Similar to Nanette, Jim and Melody get along very well, and he also refers to her as "Mel." She sees him as a sort of father figure in the same way that Nanette does.
* **Nova Starscope**: Another one of her close friends. Melody *does* sometimes feel weird around her for a reason she can't explain, but since she is under her hypnosis spell, she brushes it off as just paranoia. In the equivalent of "Apple Family Reunion," she also wants to do the seven/three-legged race with her, but she wants to do it with Madoka instead, causing her to get upset. As a compromise, however, the three of them do a *four*-legged race instead.
* **Jessie**: In the equivalent chapter to "Ignorance is Blissey," it is revealed that they first met at the Pokémon Nurse School and became friends with each other and a Chansey, though they have since drifted apart. At the end of the equivalent chapter to "The Last Attack of Team Rainbow Rocket," they have since rekindled their friendship.
* **Melissa Bikker**: Melody sees Melissa as a sort of mother figure in *Katy Magica*, despite her technically being way older than her. She often tucks her in and cooks for her just like a little kid, and she is the only one (besides Katy, who originally mistakes it as "not wanting to die") who Melody confides her deepest insecurities of being alone in. Melody's death also takes a serious toll on *her*, as she blames herself for failing to protect her.

### Etymology

* The three Kanji for her Japanese name **Akami** mean, in order, "love," "play music," and "heart, mind, or soul."
* Her English first name **Melody** relates to her talent of singing. Her English surname **Harmadale** is most likely, ither a made-up surname or a modification of an existing one.

## Items

* **Power Necklace**
* **Harmony Gem** *(is stored in the Magical Warrior System app when unused)*

## History

*Due to her living longer than most of the other Magis, she has a subpage for her role in the series. See here for the history of this character.*

## Magical Abilities

In her magical girl form, Melody possesses enhanced physical abilities such as speed, strength, agility, invulnerability to physical damage, and the ability to fly. Her magic aura in color is a very light rose.

Melody mainly has the power to manipulate flowers and light. She can release storms of petals and flowers to attack an enemy, attack with paralyzing pollen, make flowers bloom instantly, shoot beams of energy from flowers, and attack with blasts and flashes of light. Notably, the light she attacks with is not yellow but white, which makes it even more blinding. She also has superhuman strength, being able to crack a super thick stone wall with one punch.

Melody is also able to predict enemy attacks such as witches, Vertexes, or other villains, has the Dimensional Scream ability, and can receive messages from and have direct conversations with the Shinju-sama, the Magic of Friendship, and the Light of Hope. She is also able to remove blight inflicted on the Shinju-sama by the Vertexes.

During the final battle with Isabeau, Melody uses Connect with the Ascending Tart to summon a magic circle in the sky, opening like a gate from which powerful beams of light shapes like crosses shoot down, piercing her enemy. This ultimate attack was named "Gates of Elysuim", in contrast to Riz's "Gates of Tartarus" attack.

## Magical Warrior

Melody is the Warrior of Destinies. She is a Light/Flower/Fighting Elemental whose Elements of Harmony are Magic and Caring, and her theme color is mainly pink with a sub of purple and electric blue. Her weapons are a crossbow and a staff.

### Attacks

* **Harmadale Storm** - Her main purification finisher. It does not borrow power from a Dream Pixie.
* **Spring Twister** - One of her sub-attacks.
* **Sparkling Kick** - One of her sub-attacks.
* **Blinding Light Beam** - One of her sub-attacks.
* **Pink Sparkling Heart Attack** - One of her sub-attacks.
* **Daisy Punch** - Being half-Daisy, it is obvious that she uses this attack.
* **Porter Kick** - Being half-Porter, it is obvious that she uses this attack.

## Trivia

*For this character's tropes, see here.*
* It can be implied that she may be the link to the Daisy and Porter families.
* She inherits the powers of both her mother and father.
* She never became a Trainer until the events of the *Tale of the Two Non-Magi Cherries*.
* Her contract with Kyubey accidentally led to the mistake of some of the other main characters of *Aurea Magica* getting stuck in the 1980's. After the events of said arc, luckily, it is revealed that Melody is *not* responsible for the accident.
* She is similar to other "artificially created humans" such as Nicole, who also have no human parents.
* She was created thanks to the especially strong love of Victoria and Arcturus.
* Coincidentally, Melody originally shared her Guardian title (Guardian of Life) with Bailey, but it was changed in order to prevent a scenario where two Guardians fight over having the same title.
* As seen in the new timeline in the series finale, she was ultimately conceived and born normally following Victoria's comeback and her marriage with Arcturus.
* She is the *real veteran* of the series, but meets her permanent end in "The End of the Princess" (from *Katy Magica*) in a similar way to the canon Mami Tomoe.
* She becomes so powerful due to experience that *she is the **only** one* with an Element of Harmony crown, unlike in the Harmonyverse and Heroverse, where all magical warriors wear Element of Harmony necklaces when needed.
* Whenever a Daisy and a Porter are seen close to each other (be it romantic or platonic) when she is around, her birthmarks will glow. Since she is both a Daisy and a Porter herself, her birthmarks will also glow when a member of either family gets close *to* her.
* When first created as a baby, the cyan part of her hair is on top while the purple is on the bottom, but afterwards the cyan is always on the bottom while the purple is on top. This was confirmed to be an error.
* She is often targeted by villains, always resulting in trouble.
* As revealed in a flashback from *Katy Magica*, Melody had taught Katy to sing when she was younger.
* According to a made-up interview, Melody is still 12 in the MLP:ANG adaption because her father's semi-immortality is genetic, not magical, and she still exists because it is shown that the effects of the force that created her will remain even if it or its wielder are gone (which is also shown with Nicole). It was later confirmed that the reason the other Porters stop aging but still grow to adulthood like normal, but Melody is stuck as a child, is because of a genetic error.
	+ It is also confirmed that she was stuck in the dungeon at Zephyr Heights for *500 years*.
* It is confirmed that the destruction and chaos her father caused has traumatized her the most, which is the reason behind why Creatures shouldn't mention the Great Betrayal and the Great Rebellion event in front of her.
* It is unknown why Melody has two-toned hair but Katy and Sky don't despite them also being half Daisy, half Porter. It is also unknown why she is stuck as a child when the other Porters stop aging once they reach adulthood, but it is implied to be the result of an error in her genes.
* Despite having a love and heart motif as a secondary motif of hers, she is not a Love Elemental. Also, despite her love of singing, she is not a Sound Elemental as well.
* Due to how strong her parents' love was, Behaver nearly *kills* Melody when she sucks up a titanic amount of love from her, more than all the others combined (though it can be assumed that if she hadn't refused to harm Dragonet, her amount of love would be even greater). In *Amber Magica*, just Melody's presence is enough to keep Mandible healthy, and while he can consume regular food, he usually stays close by Melody since she gives off a large amount of love (but his kind doesn't forcibly steal it like the old pre-redemption Changelings under Queen Chrysalis's rule).
* When Melody sees "Chibi-Chibi" in the adaption of the GoH movie "The Multiversal Crisis," she gets a huge shiver down her spine and feels a sense of deja vu, due to "her" being the disguised form of the very same thing that created her in order to directly interact with life forms instead of the usual way of talking to a Miko.
* In *Allison Magica*, it is heavily implied that Melody has been locked in the dungeon in Zephyr Heights for months or even years, as she is already in the dungeon when the heroes themselves are thrown in for being non-Pegasus trespassers. She is also legally considered insane and a danger to society for her claim of being created by magic when it doesn't exist.
* Despite her love of singing, Melody herself is not immune to Jigglypuff's running gag of using Sing and causing its audience to fall asleep.
* Unlike Mirage, Tsukiko, and Honoko, Melody still has to eat, drink, and sleep like anycreature else despite being magically created. The difference between her and the former three is that they are literally made *of* magic (before becoming human, that is), while Melody was also created out of thin air by magic, but is still an organic, biological human and is not literally made up of magic. Also, despite being created by the Light of Hope, she is unable to use its power in any way.
* In the (aibet made-up) French translation of *Tart Magica*, her name is **Chante Flore-Puisa Harmonie**, and her potential voice actress is (???).
	+ "Chante" means "singer" in French.
* She and Gemma are considered the highest-ranking Magis according to the Taisha.
* It is implied from her conversation with Melissa about missing her friends and family that she regrets not asking the MoF for her life to be ended, as at the time, she didn't think about doing that.
* Like her parents, Melody has no belly button. Oddly, all three of them are also magically-created, as they didn't have time to conceive a child the usual way despite planning to have one soon since Victoria was dying. In the rewritten timeline, however, she is conceived and born the usual way, though this also results in her magical power being not as strong as before the retcon.
* Originally, all the Preservers were going to answer to her. However, this was scrapped after it was pointed out that the Preservers would logically answer to Victoria, Arcturus, Brandon, and Aurora if they were to answer to anyone since those four were created by the Divinity Herself.
* She is one of the ***VERY*** few Mikos who get the best of both worlds, as unlike GoH, the writers actually make an effort to have more non-Heroes.
* Whenever the Magis get glowing eyes, her pupils are shaped like hearts.
* It is confirmed that she caught all non-Legendary (and possibly non-Mythical) Hisuian Pokémon before they went extinct. She is seen having those Pokémon on hand during *Cherry Magica 2*, during the Hisui festival (where she showcases them) in *Elizabeth Magica*, and during *Rosie Magica*. 500 years before *Allison Magica* (a month before being placed in the dungeon at Zephyr Heights), she has since lost most of them, with the only ones she managed to not lose being Rocky, Volt, Skye, Becky and Fuwa. In the rewritten timeline, however, she has never lost them.
* Due to being the most-active Magi, she gets her stages slowly.
* The name of Melody's Perserver form, Soulheart Serenity, is based on an idea of what her alias would be if she existed in older series with secret identities such as *Shining Bonds*.
* She often refers to the Divinity as her grandma, due to Her being her parents' creator.
* Her in-universe Pokéstagram account has over 60 million followers.
* Her and her Pokémon's souls are stolen in "Melody's Concert: Queen Vera Attacks," *before* all but two of the others have theirs taken in the next chapter, in order to make the chapter more similar to SM episode 195 where Princess Kakyuu's Star Seed is stolen. Luckily, they are revived along with the other Magis, Pokémon, and Incubators near the end of "Freeing the Most Powerful Puella Magi."
* Her begging her father to wake up after he sacrifices himself in "Sword and Shield" and shaking him is a reference to *The Lion King*. She is also shocked at his entry when she opens the Magi Diary to write her entry, but doesn't notice his spirit watching her and her friends from afar in the epilogue of the chapter.
* She earns her Stage 5 in the adaptation of "Securing the Future!" for helping send her Light of Hope to Necrozma, though she decides to leave the full healing of it to Lillie.
* Unlike GoH, Melody never makes her wish due to being afraid that her soul will be ripped out of her body and turned into a Soul Gem. However, in a made-up interview, this is confirmed to be changed in the rewritten timeline, with the creators saying that she decided to risk herself by performing a usually impossible feat via a wish. This feat is bringing back Nova and making her fully human.
* While her transformation sequence is usually the same in each arc, some changes were made in a few arcs:
	+ After gaining a firearm in *Tart Magica*, her striking pose resembles the canon Elisa's in the *Magia Record* game. This pose is seen for the rest of the arc until the final group transformation.
	+ In *Iroha Magica*, the way her hair changes into its Puella Magi appearance once she places her Harmony Gem on her head resembles the Cures' hair changing into its Pretty Cure style once they put their tiaras on in *Go! Princess Pretty Cure*.
* Despite usually stopping herself, she has accidentally picked up a few of her father's derogatory nicknames and used them a few times before realizing her mistake, such as when she accidentally calls Magnus "chili pepper," Elizabeth as "unicorn vomit," and Eridanus as "oil tanker," but she quickly corrects herself and apologizes. However, whenever she smartmouths her brothers when they act stupid, she does occasionally use such nicknames on purpose.
* Much like Nanette, Nova, Blissany, and Katy, her magical girl outfit is Senshi-like, though she has bike shorts under her skirt, both purple and cyan accents, and a compact accessory on her chest. She even has a Yuuna-like ponytail despite not being a Yuuna.
* The true form of the witch that killed her - a Changeling named Elytra - feels *massively* guilty for killing Melody and leaving the other Magis vulnerable to damage, even though she had no control over her actions. She does bring this up and appears to be depressed when she appears in a few subsequent chapters, but the main Magis forgive her since it wasn't her fault.
* After "Sword and Shield," similar to Nicole, she moves in with Elis due to her father's death. In *Rosie Magica*, however, she has to act as the temporary ruler of the Pokéverse due to Nanette's and Mikey's disappearance. It is unknown, however, why the AoTA didn't think of just kidnapping her as well to get her out of the way.
* After gaining Stage 3, whenever she feels sad, the markings on her body will disappear until she feels better again.
* It is shown that she always sleeps with Fireshine by her side, something which she considers helpful so that she doesn't get any nightmares.
* In the chapter where Cynthia tries to buy alcohol and gets turned away before stealing it anyways, despite mumbling to herself she would try to get Melissa to buy it for her, she also briefly mentions Melody, even though both are "out of the game" by that point. This essentially confirms that despite being physically 12, she could still legally buy it if she wanted.
