Melody Song

Melody Song is a sweet and loveable girl who is a very talented artist and a very good musician. Despite her name resembling music and not a type of food, Melody is an amazing artist who spends her free time drawing in her notebook. She used to be a rebel girl named Wild and would be really mean to the people of Berry Bitty City, but thanks to Strawberry Shortcake, Melody has changed herself and is back to being sweet and nice again.

## Background Edit

TWs = Bullying, gaslighting, trauma, neglect, abuse, alcohol and suicide.

Growing up, Melody Song - who was Melody Muse back then - was a happy, well behaved child living in Berry Town. She adored music, toys, flowers, cute things, harmony, Cherry Jam and animals and loved to sing, lip-sync to Cherry Jam’s songs, pick and smell flowers and watch movies. Her parents were always there for her during rough times, such as tooth losses, trying new foods and first days of school and was a very smart student. Everything about her life was a dream come true. When she was five years old, her parents held a princess party every girl could dream of. There was a pony ride, a bouncy castle and even everyone called Melody a queen. It was the happiest day of her life.

Her life was going well...that is, until one night after her birthday, she heard her mother coughing and was horrified to blood seeping out of her nose and mouth. She was rushed to the hospital, but didn’t make it in time and died anyway. ;w; Luckily, she still has a good relationship with her widowed father Beat Muse.

Then when she wished for a new mother, she ended up receiving Countess Kabbikko Song and her seven children - Figaro Falsetto, Tenor Tanner, Baritone Bleak, Plum Pudding, Nega Tone, Rhythm Heartfelt and Screech Shock. She did her best to bond with her recently blended stepfamily, including Plum Pudding.

Unfortunately, while she succeeded with her eldest stepsister Rhythm, thanks to her late abusive mother whom she killed for killing her seven husbands, it was really hard due to Kabbikko disliking children and men sans her stepkids to the point where she eventually went to court to not only get a divorce, but also have him lose his own rights to his only daughter by convincing and successfully manipulating the judges, complete with fake evidences and trickery and thanks to her nasty tricks, the judges agreed to this and forced the innocent man away from Melody, despite him constantly proving innocent and stating it was actually her fault otherwise and only allowing him to see her on every other weekend. When she tearfully asked Kabbikko why, she lied and said that he died while Rhythm told her to ignore her lies and told her that in reality, she divorced him with her nasty tricks and officially now had dominance over her. O\_O

Her new life never went well at all. Kabbikko had all the family's fortunes and squandered it on herself and her own children to a lesser extent. She was just feisty, uptight and sexist enough to believe that only female heirs like her could pass on her family jewellery and they were the only kind of people that could be beautiful, popular, famous and smart. She treated all five of her stepsons like girls, embarrassing them against their own feelings, dreams and wishes.

As for her stepdaughters, they were forced to be in those situations in a different but three different terrible ways. Countess Kabbikko Song ignored and neglected Rhythm Heartfelt but she didn’t let it go to her head and always brushed it off. She also constantly beat Plum Pudding up, attacked her, performed Pankration on her and convinced her that she has no friends, even after she left her behind. Not only did she abuse and neglect Melody Song but also took her sons and daughter's sides instead of hers without giving her chances, even when it wasn't her own fault and did awful stuff like punishing her over the smallest and even insignificant things or things that were way too severe to fit the act and letting her sons do the same bad things to her.

Melody's heart was smashed into a million pieces. From that day on, her once perfect life was heading downhill. Both with her mother dead and without her dad showing her how to be nice, Melody slowly turned from an angel into a rebel, and she was even maliciously renamed Wild by Kabbikko. When she was seven, Wild would get in trouble with her teachers and students as some of them were like her stepmother and stepbrothers, not do homework, chores or dares and end up blackmailed. She was very mean to her friends and they left her. She also screamed at all boys save her dad and bashed them with stuff.

Outside school, Kabbikko would always wind her up into either acting out and/or misbehaving by backhandedly and explicitly insulting her. She had hissy fits and pathetic fights with her step-mother over things that didn’t even matter. Kabbikko hulked out, had frequent unstoppable rages, sent her fleeing to her bedroom while screaming during her temper tantrums, said hurtful things to her, such as how she hopes she and her dad die soon or that they should’ve never been born, vandalised and/or stole her stuff, gaslit her into hating all men save her dad. Kabbikko also forced Wild into slavery, had her treat her like a queen and engaged her into stupid and disgusting fetishes like kissing and licking her feet.

Having nothing to do with her toys, hobbies and belongings stolen and thrown out of the window, Melody Song spent most of her time with her closest acquaintance: technology. She mostly watched cooking programs at first, giving her a great love for cooking, especially baking sweets and cakes, but every time she made food for her family, they ungratefully reprimanded her, ignored her and/or threw the food away.

Melody Song was always a sucker for attention, which led her to getting bullied and sometimes hurt by her stepbrothers, classmates and teachers, forcing Rhythm Heartfelt to patch up the cuts. However, Melody Song kept trying to get involved with others in her school life. She hated bad attention, but she felt like it was better than no attention at all, something that obviously didn't do her any good, as her persona was now very fragile and even the slightest insult or joke would be enough to get her to break down in tears.

One day, she stumbled upon a show called Total Drama Island, and became extremely attached to one of the competitors, one certain boy called Cody. So much so that he ended up becoming her escape from the reality she was in. Just a thought about him was enough to make all the pain go away.

This went on for a while, until Cody died (killed off for comedy no less). With this event, the weight of Melody's life dropped right back on her. Every day and every night she thought about it, but it wasn't over, oh no. The show kept killing her beloved Cody in new ways, each kill scarier and more devastating than the last, in one occasion even including him self harming by biting his arm.

By the time the show ended, the damage on Melody was already done. She vented out in anger and frequently let her stepbrothers beat her up, only to regret it as several wounds were left open on her body and left school for good. At the same time, since Kabbikko loved Sierra and hated Cody, she came to her old school, made her the victim of some rumours, grounded her for life, violently put her in a headlock and attacked her all while making it look like she was killing her and making everyone else panic and run away and burned it down.

When Melody was taken to the hospital, Plum Pudding ran away and her five step-brothers and the judges she manipulated into divorcing Beat finally figured her out, felt bad for Melody and saw through all her truly horrid ways, they called her out for treating them like girls and embarrassing them against their own feelings and wishes yet she acted all flabbergasted and sad and that they don’t want to associate with her anymore once they told the police and even broke down crying like a hurt child, as she was a child in an adult’s body.

Since then, Melody Song generally cries at least once almost every day. She does have many interests, (and still loves baking), but all in all nothing really makes her happy anymore, unless it's either made especially for her or has something to do with Cody.

By the time Melody was the same age as Strawberry Shortcake, she forgave her stepbrothers and was told that Kabbikko brought in another man named Noise Drain who was just as creepy and vain as her. After recovering, Melody came out of the hospital and ran away from her step-family and out of Berry Town, promising herself that she would not only never return there again but would also still keep in touch with Beat, Rhythm and her stepbrothers.

For the icing on the cake, after Melody had a proper change of heart and reconciled with everyone in Berry Bitty City, including Plum Pudding, Kabbikko and Noise got married, had you-know-what in her old bedroom and boom, had twin boys named Crescendo and Suite Drain. She thought they looked like girls and like what she did with her previous kids, she abused, strangled, neglected, framed up, harassed, took advantage of and treated them like objects and/or furniture non-stop. Fortunately, Melody has help from her new friends, her reformed stepbrothers, Beat - who forgave the judges and got his second wife and her new husband arrested and Rhythm Heartfelt to care for them.

I'm okay…O~O

 First Arrival

When Melody first arrives in Berry Bitty City, she kicks Strawberry Shortcake out of her dream room above the Marketplace and turns it into her own room by throwing out anything she doesn't like. Strawberry is forced to sleep in her old room about her cafe. Melody's bully wrath spreads to the rest of the town. Whenever she loses her temper, anything around her is either broken, bent, or thrown. For example, Melody misses a easy putt at Mr. Longface's mini golf course and she hurled the putter and it landed in the bucket of golf balls and they spilled all over the gound, causing Mr. Longface to slip and fall down. The girls are forced to be Melody's maids and she treats them horribly. Plum Pudding is the first girl that tries to stand up to Melody and Melody shoves Plum into a mud puddle. Strawberry decides enough is enough and she stands up to Melody and gives the mean girl a piece of her mind. Strawberry lets Melody know that she and everyone in Berry Bitty City is done with her bullying ways and that she has to leave down and never come back. Of course, Melody loses her temper and almost hits Strawberry, but Cherry Jam steps in and stops Melody by grabbing her arm before any damage could be done. Then the other girls gather courage and help Strawberry chase Melody out of town. Everyone cheers in victory as Melody runs away. Later that night, a horrible storm is raging outside and Strawberry is inside her cafe enjoying a cup of hot chocolate and reading a book while snuggled under a warm blanket and sitting in a comfy chair. A knock is heard on the door and Strawberry goes to answer it. She gasps in shock to see Melody standing in the rain soaking wet and covered in dirt and mud. Strawberry notices her eyes are full of tears and lets her come inside. She allows Melody to take a shower, get changed into a pair of dry pjs, and spend the night in the guest room. Strawberry makes Melody a delicious meal for her to eat, but Melody doesn't touch the food. Now Strawberry is curious and sits down next to Melody and calmly talks to her. This is when Melody opens up and tells her backstory to Strawberry. Now she knows the truth about why Melody was acting so mean. Melody then starts to cry again and begs Strawberry for forgiveness and asks to teach her how to be nice again. Strawberrygives Melody a big hug and comforts the lonely girl, agreeing to teach her how to be nice and make friends if Melody was willing to learn and try her best. Melody agrees and Strawberry forgives her and lets her stay in the guest room and work at the Marketplace.

## Personality (Wild)

Melody is first seen as a really mean girl who calls herself by the name "Wild" and she bullies other people in Berry Bitty City and treats them badly. She would take things, purposely break items that they valued, and even threatens to hurt whoever tries to stand up to her. Melody also has a bad temper and tends to get really angry when someone gets under her skin. As Melody lives in Berry Bitty City, she eventually learns that the rebel girl personality isn't her real self and Melody begs Strawberry Shortcake to help teach her how to be nice again. It was really hard for Melody to be nice to everyone, especially when she made everyone mad at her, but with Strawberry's help, the people of Berry Bitty City warm up to Melody and accept her true personality.

## Personality

Melody's real personality is a kind and sweet girl who likes having friends that treat her nice. She'll always try to avoid conflicts and settle problems calmly and peacefully. Melody is also a little shy about preforming in public places such as concerts or exhibitions. She likes to keep her drawings to herself cause she thinks of them as personal drawings and doesn't want any negative criticism. When Strawberry Shortcake lets her stay at the cafe and helps her learn how to be nice, Melody rarely smiles because she is scared at how the others will treat her. Melody tends to have low self-confidence and sometimes doubts herself. If someone insults Melody really bad, she would start to cry and run away to be alone. As she makes more and more friends, she starts to smile a lot more and tries to be more social in group events to boost her confidence. Melody is a little like Lemon Meringuein the way of wanting to be useful in Berry Bitty City and she gets a job as a postal girl to deliver the mail around the town. Melody's main goal is to fix all the problems she caused by doing good deeds for everyone in Berry Bitty City and proving to everyone that she has changed and wants a second chance to be their friend. She's eager to learn new things in Berry Bitty City and is willing to help any way she can.

When Melody was a little girl, she listened to Cherry Jam's music for the first time and has been a secret fan of her ever since. She would lip-sync the words perfectly, dance along to the beat, and pretend she is a pop-star herself. Melody soon discovers that she is amazing at playing the saxophone and finds her perfect instrument.

When it comes to standing up for what's right, Melody always stands on the side of truth. She usually doesn't pick sides unless she knows who's right. Also, if Melody sees one of her friends being teased by a mean person, she will step in and act tough like a bodyguard. She never uses violence anymore and rarely gets angry anymore since she can now control her temper a lot better, thanks to Strawberry Shortcake.

## Appearence

As Wild, her appearance consisted of messy black hair that went halfway down her back and had two red highlight streaks starting at her forehead and going down the length of her hair. Wild's outfit was a punk-rock look that consisted of a black shirt with ripped-off sleeves and black pants that had holes and cut-up tears in them. She also had black sneakers that were badly worn-out and dirty. Plus, open-finger leather gloves After a change of heart, Melody's first outfit was Strawberry's spare clothes since she doesn't have her own style. Her main look was a plain red t-shirt with blue shorts and red shoes. Not much style, but Melody chooses to wear it since it was a lot better than her black rebel clothes.[1]

After becoming friends with Raspberry and Lemon, Melody receives her own wardrobe of stylish clothes and a new hairstyle. Her current look is shiny long hair that is waist-length and has a slight curl at the end with her two highlights now a summer-sky blue color. She also wears a hair-clip with her logo on it, a connected pair of music eighth notes. Melody's main outfit is a one-piece, summer-sky blue, summer dress with multiple music notes scattered around the entire dress. She also wears sky-blue and dark blue striped stockings and a pair of sky-blue maryjane shoes. Melody's formal wear is a long, flowing silver sparkly dress that goes all the way down to her feet. She wears her hair in a princess bun-style with a silver diamond tiara on her head. Her accessories include white, elbow-length princess gloves, a pair of sparkly silver heels, and a silver necklace with diamonds in it. Melody calls this look her "Princess Outfit" because whenever she wears it, she feels like a real princess living in a castle.

## Talents

One of Melody's talents is drawing. She's always been a fan of making drawings in her sketchbook that she takes with her everywhere she goes. At first, Melody never lets anyone see her drawings for fear of negative criticisim at first, but when she gains some self-confidence, Melody feels more comfortable showing her drawings for people to see. Melody prefers drawing over sculpting cause she likes it a lot more, she finds it easier, and she always does for her fanart of Sonic, Mario and Cody.

Being a Cherry Jam fan, Melody had memorized Cherry's famous song, *"Anything Is Possible"* and can lip-sync it while preforming the same moves from the music video. Later in the series, Melody remembers that she has a gifted talent for playing the alto saxophone, electronic beatpad and electronic keyboard and loves playing lo-fi, chill music, jazz, video game music, chiptune and weircore music, even teaching Cherry Jam a few things about playing jazz.

## Relationships (And how she became friends with them)

### Strawberry Shortcake

The first person that gives Melody a second chance. Melody always goes to Strawberry first whenever she is upset or has a problem. Strawberry is also the person that teaches Melody how to be nice so she can make friends and live in Berry Bitty City again. She looks up to Strawberry as a role model and goes to her for advice and comfort. Melody feels like she owes Strawberry for turning her life around and does whatever she can to help Strawberry and make her happy.

### Cherry Jam

Melody's favorite pop-star singer. She loves her music and dreams about being famous like her. At first, Cherry doesn't like Melody because she broke her guitar when she was Wild, but one day, Cherry was practicing for an important concert. She sings so much that her voice cuts out and Cherry can't sing or even talk. Plum and the girls think of a way Cherry could preform without singing, but all of their ideas fail miserably. Cherry feels sad cause she can't preform, until she sees Melody secretly dancing to one of her songs. Cherry gets an idea and wants Melody to pose as her for the concert. Melody is really nervous about preforming on stage and rejects the idea, but after some begging and pleading, Melody finally agrees to pose as Cherry for the concert. On the night of the concert, Melody gets stage fright and says she can't preform. Cherry talks to Melody and tells her that there's nothing to worry about and reminds her how great she is. Melody feels better and preforms the show, which goes fantastic. Cherry thanks Melody by accepting her apology and they become friends.

### Plum Pudding

Melody's corrupted step-sister and the last girl to accept Melody as both a best friend and her step-sister. Even after Beat married her, Countess Kabbikko Muse constantly beat her up and convinced her that she has no friends, even after she left her behind. Plum holds a grudge against Melody and tries to prove that she is still mean by calling her Wild and both trying to madden her and make her life miserable. One day, the two get stranded in the forest and Plum sprains her ankle and needs help to move, but Melody is mad at her for being mean a lot and decides that she doesn't want to help. Plum tries to keep her grudge, but soon gives in when she knows it's too hard to survive on a hurt ankle. Feeling upset, Plum limps over and apologizes to Melody and asks for forgiveness. Melody remembers Strawberry's advice about giving second chances and agrees to forgive her. The two are soon rescued and they become great friends.

### Blueberry Muffin

The fourth girl to forgive Melody and be her best friend. Blueberry was struggling to make a new science invention for a upcoming science competition. Melody offers to help, but Blueberry says that Melody isn't smart enough to help her. Melody decides to enter the competition herself to show Blueberry that she can be smart too. While Melody asks for help from her friends, Blueberry struggles and stresses out since she wants to work alone. Soon, Melody notices this and asks Blueberry to help her with her invention. Blueberry says yes and the two girls work together. They win the competition and both girls are very happy. Blueberry apologizes to Melody for saying that she wasn't smart and Melody forgives her.

### Orange Blossom

Orange is the fifth girl that Melody became friends with. Melody saved Orange's life twice. The first time was when the girls were swimming and Orange's foot got tangled in seaweed and she couldn't keep her head above water. Melody ran, dove in the water and used her swimming speed to untangle Orange's foot and carried her back to shore. The other time was when Melody was shopping at Orange Mart. Orange was putting away some jars of honey when her step ladder suddenly broke and Orange fell to the ground. Luckily, Melody dropped her shopping basket and caught Orange safely. The trouble wasn't over when two jars of honey fell from the shelf. Orange closed her eyes and waited for the smash, but instead, Melody took the impact on her back and was injured very badly. After coming home from the hospital, Orange gives Melody a wheelchair to sit in and takes her on a stroll outside, but a falcon swoops down and snatches Melody. Orange bravely faces the falcon and ends up chasing it away for good. Melody thanks Orange for saving her and the two make up and become friends.

### Raspberry Torte

Melody's third berry friend. Raspberry was stressed out and having a lot of trouble designing new outfits for her upcoming fashion show. Melody suggests that she'd get some sleep and offers to clean up the boutique. After Raspberry leaves to take a nap, Melody cleans up the boutique and then leaves, but accidentally forgets her sketchbook. Plum finds the book and convinces Raspberry that she should use the outfits in Melody's book to model for the fashion show. On the night of a show testing, Melody is excited to see what Raspberry had made, but is horrified when she recognizes the outfits each of the girls model. Melody feels really sad that Raspberry stole her designs and claimed them as her own. Strawberry finds out from Melody and has a talk with Raspberry. Raspberry starts to feel upset for making Melody sad and Strawberry upset. On the night of the fashion show, Raspberry feels really guilty and can't handle the pressure. Strawberry talks to her and soon, Raspberry knows what to do. In front of everyone, Raspberry announces the truth that she didn't create the outfits herself, but that they belonged to Melody. Raspberry announces that she is really sorry to Melody and asks her for forgiveness. When Melody accepts the apology, Raspberry lets Melody model the grand finale outfit, which is one of Melody's designs. Melody is super excited when everyone cheers for her. The next day, Melody walked to the boutique and saw that Raspberry had designed and created a whole wardrobe of amazing clothes just for her. Raspberry apologizes to Melody again for stealing her designs and not giving credit. Melody smiles and forgives Raspberry and the two become good friends.

### Lemon Meringue

After being friends with Strawberry, Melody tries to apologize to Lemon first. Lemon didn't feel like talking to Melody after the way she treated her. This was the point where Melody was working part-time at Berrykin Bruce's repair shop, learning how to fix machines. At the salon, Lemon was busy giving hairstyles and facials when her machines started to short circuit and go crazy. Lemon calls Berrykin Bruce for a repair emergency and he and Melody head over to the salon. Lemon is surprised and upset that Melody is at her salon, but she watches her work with Berrykin Bruce and soon, all the salon machines are fully repaired and working again. Melody wishes Lemon a good day, but Lemon feels a little sad for being mean to Melody and ignoring her. After a quick chat with Strawberry, Lemon finds Melody and offers a special makeover just for her. Melody accepts and Lemon gives her a relaxing time at the salon. Melody thanks Lemon for the makeover and notices that Lemon is sad. Lemon admits that she's really sorry and asks to be forgiven. Melody smiles and gives Lemon a big hug and tells her that she accepts the apology.
